New costume coming to FISD New section NOW OPEN

New section now open

 

 

Happy Friday or Saturday where ever you live in this world,

 

We have a new costume coming to FISD, which no doubt will surprise a few, but we are officially the new home for the Imperial Commando's from The Mandalorian.

 

Currently we are building a new section of the forums for this costume which will house build threads and the usual research and discussions that surround costumes.

 

Stay tuned as this should be open over the next couple of days

Finally, FISD’s turn for a sit-capable CRL.

UPDATE

We have now officially opened the newest section of our forums to house the Imperial Armored Commando.

Referred to as "Gideon's' Stormtroopers" by the makers of the costume,  IronHead Studios, they are seen on mass in episode 23 and 24 of The Mandalorian

Really don't think these decisions should be made in a vacuum, with just a few voices. This is the shoretrooper all over again.

I also think shadow stormtroopers should come to FISD because they have the word stormtroopers in them

It wasn't a vacuum.  Detachments where asked to "bid" for the new CRL.  We, as staff, put together our case and justification which the Detachment Leader presented to a Legion committee. I am aware of at least 1 other detachment that did the same.  After going to the Legion our case was deemed better so we got the CRL.

This would require both detachments to agree, and I believe all active members of that costume to agree.  Which is probably unlikely.  @Sly11 will be more aware of what would need to happen.

This is correct, detachments all look at new costumes for viability, an LMO asked if we were putting a case forward so clearly the LMO team are/were discussing new costumes.

 

Alos correct on the appeal to take a costume onboard that resides in another detachment.

It takes both DL's to agree along with the members who own the costume to enact a change of detachment,I wont say it doesn't happen because it has in the past. Pre my time as DL the detachment agreed to pass the Sky Trooper over to another detachment.

 

I spoke with staff by starting a thread as I wasn't sure they were for us but did see some similarities in their action.

As staff started to put hings together the story looked more reasonable so I submitted, and to be perfectly honest, didn't think we would get the votes.  

The LMO team vote on all things to do with costumes with majority directing their decision, not me, not other detachments, not a sole individual.

One could only assume other detachments also put a proposal together, I totally assumed there would be at least a couple that would fight it out, not us in the race necessarily.

 

For transparency, I will share what the staff put together, the images they gathered, and the written information they provided.

These are screen capped so they are not edited.

 

Aside form the standard gathering of various screen shots (these are now in our gallery so you can check them out at leisure, I added a section of the script which shows how the Mandalorians referred to those troopers

 

I am the conduit to the LMO office so felt their work should be submitted, rather than dismissing it. Again we still believed it would go elsewhere.

 

Below is the imagery and verbiage from the proposal put together in staff area. This is what went through on the proposal, there are  a few pages of the discussions but this being the info used is the most important

 

 

 

 

 

My closing taken from the email sent to the LMO team

 

These troops have acted in the exact same fashion as the First order troops have in the sequel trilogies. Capturing the enemy with improved accuracy of shot like they did for Phasma.

You will also notice almost the same shins as the first order TK and the identical boots. Armour covers most of their bodies, what, no butt plate LOL.

We see no special operation other than to defend their leader, standard TK behavior and on mass, standard TK protocol, with accessories, again standard for various TK’s

 

I can continue to gather more details as we have numerous staff working on the information capture but I think what we have presented here already shows well the direction we are heading.

This is a Stormtrooper at heart and action.

 

As always thanks for your time and consideration

 

Kind regards

Email response from one of the LMO team. Remember, this was not one LMO's decision, this was a vote by all LMO's, Michael was the one to deliver the news of the results of the Poll they ran and majority ruled.

And to be perfectly open not all staff supported the case for FISD to home this costume, especially when we have had costumes with more TK lineage go to Spec Ops Being a specialised force has seen many a TK version fall under Spec Ops and at the end of the day it's really up to the DL's and LMO's other staff are not privy to those conversations. We are after all white armor, not partly white and grey or made from beskar, or have mandalorian lineage, which makes these troopers specialised

Thank you for sharing this was interesting to see the process instead of just assuming things. I do wish in the future this was more open to debate from the general troopers, though I suppose that would add to the length of time.

 

In all honesty you could say Sith troopers also act more like stormtroopers as well, don't know if I really understand that logic but a debate for another day. I'm still bitter about shoretrooper and mountain trooper, though Pathfinders made the mountain trooper happen so in hindsight I can't be mad about that. I just want to be spec ops bad to hang with my friends and buy cool merch. But I suppose merch is pretty much nothing nowadays anyways so who cares.

Also I'm assuming if anyone builds the Rebels' mando trooper that also goes here...

Gar Saxon and the Imperial Supercommando's from Rebels are part of Spec Ops
