New Recruit needs help

[Red Empress]

Hi All

I wrangled for my partner (Dannytheblue) and the boys from Townsville yesterday and loved it! I would like to become a member of the 501st. I want to be an Imperial Royal Guard. Can anyone help with suggested 501st approved sites for help with this costume?

Looking forward to joining the fight against the Rebel scum!

Hi there and welcome to the Redback forums.

Have a look over the Costume Reference Library (CRL) for the royal guard. There are a few to choose from

For your research, I strongly advise you to sign up on the Sovereign Protectors detachment Force Pike. It is the place for all info on the royal guards and you will also find a list of vetted armour suppliers, patterns etc:

While you are in the reading mode have a read through these threads to give you an idea on membership and applications:

More importantly if you have any questions just ask.

Good luck and have fun.

welcome Louise,

I must say you've chosen the best looking costume.
Maybe I'm biased.

Feel free to ask for any help as it's better to ask questions than to get something wrong and have to redo it.

As phantom said register at the forcepike forums.
You'll also need to decide which style of guard you are into before you buy anything, as there are differences between them that affect what you need to get.

Hope to see you at a troop soon.
