DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) I pretty much decided I might get ATA armor as a white tk but as I study the black armor is really starting to grow on me. but I feel like the black would show scratches, dirt, etc more clearly, which isn't much of a problem if I keep the polishing up. Also i'm in Tucson AZ, it's pretty much tatooine here! the td's in the dune sea garrison might laugh at me. Still, the thought of being one of few black armored troopers in the dsg might be kinda cool. I need a second opinion.. Edited September 21, 2012 by DizzyStormtrooper Quote
bobojuice Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 For blackhole troopers and other TX stuff, you might want to head over to the Spec Ops detachment. http://forum.501stspecopsdet.net/ Quote
Evilboy[501st] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 I am a Shadowtrooper. I LOVE the armor. If you go with the black ABS, like I did, then you should be fine. I have some scratches and scrapes here and there, but they buff right out with plastic polish.But, yeah, go to SpecOps! Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 ata also makes black armor. Quote
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks I'll check it out. Another thing is the general public, white armor is so iconic and easily recognizable, don't you get a lot of "whys there a black stormtrooper?" Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 I think the question shadow stormtroopers actually get more often than any is - "are you Darth Vader?" Quote
Toddo[TK] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 Shadowtrooper are awesome. People love it, including other Legion members in person. I have only been asked if I'm Vader at one event. Quote
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 My first 501st approved set of armor was a Black Hole Trooper. I wanted to be different and stand out from the crowd of white armor . . . but I got tired from it. The general public is not familiar with it and so I was called "tie pilot" & "little vader". I don't have that armor any more but I would get another set again some day. Quote
Evilboy[501st] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 I would like to say that I do plan to get white armor, and a TD eventually as well... Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 I agree with my fellow Shadow Trooper guys (Toddo and EB), black armor is cool. Don't get me wrong. I love my white armor TK and this is one of my faves, but you get totally different looks in black. And yes, I've been called Darth Vader and a Tie Pilot too. Quote
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) i bought black AM armor, but i might cast it after trimming so ill have a black and white set that perfectly fits me. the white set would be smoothcast 300 and the molds only for my personal use. i figured since i dont want to paint it or cover the plack with vinyl if i want to be a white trooper then peel it off again to black, like how they have vehicle wraps on taxis and advertising company cars. i really seem to like doing things the hard way haha but like i said, i come from the RPF.

Henry Doll Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 Who would I look to source black hole trooper armor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
