Queen Anduin Wrynn | World of Warcraft | By Oshley

[Cosplayer]: Oshley

I was inspired to make Anduin Wrynn’s armour because I am constantly inspired by the World of Warcraft universe and Blizzard’s stunning expansion cinematics. I worked on recreating the King’s armour set over the course of 9 months, staying as true to his detailed cinematic design as possible while taking some artistic liberties to make the armour fit my female body as Queen Wrynn. This cosplay was finished for BlizzCon 2019 where I won the Weapons and Armour category in the cosplay contest! :)

The armour is entirely handmade with Worbla thermoplastic and various soft and hard foam products. The thin raised strips and bevel details are Worbla, too. The lion heads were carved out of expanding foam, built up with clay. The sword, Shalamayne, is pink foam board, carved into the sword shape and covered in Worbla. An LED circuit into the middle of the sword that illuminates the middle orb to emulate Shalamayne’s glowing center.
