A player just sent me a link to a fashion designer's web site that, as she said, designs cloths the nobles of 40k would eat up. After checking it out, I had to agree, though they are somewhat lacking in proper head-tubing, the hair antlers is just stupid strange enough to be appealing to those wacky nobles.
You can find it HERE.

Yup. I've actually seen a couple of those shows before. Definitely odd for the modern tastes, but very 40Kish.

Cool. Here is a converted figure I made for use as a DH Imperial noble, using the Mordheim Vampire figure as the base:

That is a **** nice job! I played 40k for years and never got the hang of good paint jobs or modeling.
Thanks. You can't really tell from that angle, but the shoulder pads are small skulls, made from the tops of plastic Space Marine bike banner poles. The headset antennae is from the Tao frame. The laspistol (replacing the cutlass the figure was originally holding) is from the old 1st Ed. (Rogue Trader-era) plastic frames- I used that one because it is smaller than the current ones, but it still looks too big. I probably should have cut off the tip and called it a needle pistol. Oh well...
That's a nice conversion indeed!
And cudos on the fashion link, great stuff!

NICE conversion work there!
And don't mind the laspistol. The fact that it is still a little big and clunky in her hands only emphasizes that she is a noble and not some brutish Guardsman. Muscles are for peasants! Um.. And Space Marines. So peasants, Space Marines... Oh, and soldiers! So peasants, Space Marines, soldiers... Oh whatever, such talk is unbecoming of the highborn. Now go and fetch me some of those darling new servitors with the chrome drink dispensers built in...
I can't imagine anyone on our world wearing these outfits - but the styles are an absolute must for your '70s Space Vampires.
And, of course, since 40k has always had something of the Vancian style going for it, at least in the upper social classes, I can see these things worming their way into the high society of some Hive World, Absurd Rogue Trader, or exclusive pleasure planet.
