Advance to 1500

[Sly11[Admin]]

Greeting all,

 

Calling all attaches and approved 501st Stormtrooper members

 

Last year, we launched a new campaign to further grow our ranks of Expert Infantry troopers. Advance to 1500!

Link for the newsletter launch:  March FISD Newsletter Advance to 1500 launch

 

What is Expert Infantry you ask? Well, putting it simply, it's making some tweaks and minor additions or changes to your armour, edging closer to screen accuracy.

 

Now EI as we call it, was introduced back in the day when we had very few vendors, and the armour itself wasn't as accurate as the superb level of kits we have available today. It was designed to make those kits, and FX specifically, look a little better. This tradition carried on, and over time it has become easier to build your armour to the EI level, with vendors making improvements and in some cases making easily available the little extra bits that make the difference.

This is perfect for anyone joining the 501st and wanting a touch more authenticity without spending much more on achieving it.

By its very design, EI was made to be easily achievable and low cost.

 

A few years back, we developed a program called "March to 1000", the aim to hit 1000 troopers approved at EI level. We had a supportive merch run along the way, and achieved the 1000 mark a couple of years ago now, celebrating with a very special piece of merch many will remember for the  Victory 1000.

 

 

Now back to "Advance to 1500".......

 

Back in the March 23 newsletter, I mentioned we would have some incentives along the way to help us all sing the virtues of Expert infantry level, assist new and existing members to take on the easy challenge of building to, or upgrading their armour, and gain some more momentum.

We also relaunched a new and improved Armorers award program in the slow build up of momentum towards our 1500 target.

 

Well fellow troopers, the time is coming close to releasing our first real push with a special piece of merch that will help us get the word out on Advance to 1500.

A talking piece, something many may find both cool and useful.

 

I might now have your attention if you are reading this, but we are not quite ready to let you know what this item is yet, but we promise to announce it very soon.

 

Come help us support fellow and new members in the endeavor to reach the goal of 1500 proud and approved Expert Infantry rank troopers.

Here is a little teaser to spark your interest with more to come.

 

 

And don't forget
