scottdm62[TK] Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 Total noob question, but are pauldrons only for Heavy weapon troops, or can the normal TK wear them? And if so, can it be the pauldron only or does it have to accompany the ammo bags? Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 Normally, if your particular designation doesn't call for a pauldron (check the CRLs) one is not worn. They are not permitted at canon troops if not listed in the CRL for your character, but what you do on your own is up to you. I personally don't recommend it, as you may be perceived as "that guy", but it is entirely up to you. You could always go HWT, though! Quote
T K[501st] Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) A good ole pic from a thread. Pauldrons are cool, but... I had some people in my garrison wear some to a troop (they are TKs), they looked coolish, but it ruined the uniformity with the other TKs.

scottdm62[TK] Posted January 12, 2017 Author Report Posted January 12, 2017 Ok, so get approved as a TK, save some money and go Heavy trooper. Got it. Good talk guys. I knew I could count on you!!! 2 Quote

dejango[TK] Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I personally think they look pretty cool on any TK, but to each his own. 3 Quote

Becoming a HWT is not that much more costly, Scott. If you need sources for the accessories, just PM me. 1 Quote

I will do so, I was just looking at the cost of the weapons such as the T21 and the DLT-19 (could have letters wrong but I hope you know what I mean). But PM is on its way good sir. Quote
scottdm62[TK] Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Posted January 13, 2017 Also another noob question. I have not seen on these forums anything about using a plain black long sleeve t shirt as the top portion of the undersuit. Is that for a reason? Or can we use a plain black longsleeve t shirt? 1 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I would stick with a compression shirt. They are pretty inexpensive, (usually less than 15 or twenty bucks) https://www.amazon.com/DRI-EQUIP-Sleeve-Moisture-Wicking-Athletic/dp/B00LWHUOZQ/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1484313044&sr=8-14&keywords=men+black+compression+shirt, and do a great job of wicking moisture away from your body. The undersuit should be body conforming, and cotton T shirts will stretch and sag. 1 Quote

scottdm62[TK] Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Posted February 8, 2017 I don't know if it is sad. But now that I am part of the 501st I watch Star Wars OT and find myself seeing every TK mistake that's not CRL. Do you guys do that too? 1 Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 There is a "That guy" on the movie. This is the "Cantina Captain" found on the MEPD. I emulated it at SWAT level. 3 Quote
Alay[TK] Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 This is the "Cantina Captain" found on the MEPD. I emulated it at SWAT level. Just actually looked through the SWAT forum for the first time... y'all are hard asses over there over accurate emulation! Great job on earning that! Now I'm going to want to do a TD to see if I can cut it to SWAT... Quote

I'll be waving the checkered flag for you Sarah if you choose to shoot for SWAT 1 Quote
Parquette[TK] Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 I'm not sure why it's not considered canon honestly. Star Wars Rebels showed TK'S with pauldrons and ranks. I think it was a white one that went to Darth Vader and was referred to as "Commander." I know, they're animated, but we have realistic CRL'S for the Clones of The Clone Wars show. It can be done I think. Quote

I know, they're animated, but we have realistic CRL'S for the Clones of The Clone Wars show. It can be done I think. The aforementioned are considered canon because they were actually seen in the movie, cartoon series, video game, etc. Since OT stormtroopers (not counting sandtroopers) were never seen with pauldrons, having a AHH/ESB/ROTJ stormtrooper wearing a rank pauldron is not canon. As for your example of SW Rebels TKs, that CRL is in work and I'm confident in saying that pauldrons (as an acceptable option) will be included. 1 Quote

Agreed. But they're so cool... LOL! Quote
TK 14166[TK] Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Sad... I won't lie I think seeing a squad of ANH/ESB/ROTJ TK's set up like this would be pretty cool. <br> But like I think someone mentioned already, it can't be everyone in the squad just the Commander. ----------- Edited February 5, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote

A few simple modifications and your set. It will cost a few $$$ more for the additional items but no one said this hobby was cheap. 1 Quote
