[Martyr]

hey guys, im looking to join up and am researching for my ts armour, what i want is a good solid ts kit that'll suit me. im 6foot2 and solid. where can i get this and what brand should i get, muppet gave me a bit of a rundown, but i'd like to here from others as well, id also like a solid tk helmet, preferably an esb one, one that could handle a bit of a flogging. keep in mind that ive NEVER assembled anything like this and ill take whatever advice i can get

Welcome....

Best advice is to come to an Armour Party and see, first hand, the different types of armour.

There is an AP on tomorrow.

There isn't a ESB bucket per say it is how you paint it. So any TK bucket will do.

By the way welcome to the forums and get along to a ap and see the different armour and makes.

[Martyr]

ts as in snowtrooper?,,,which wont be difficult..or is it stormtrooper?....or clone?,,, OSCS clone armour (long suit) has a huge amount of leeway for size when building it

Hi and welcome Martyr!

Love your avatar picture.. mainly because its me

Lots of us had never built anything like our current suits before we started, you'll get plenty of help, so no worries there!

welcome aboard mate, I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful information on here.

also might i suggest a hollow bucket as a solid one would be quite difficult to get your head into

[SuperAzza101]

welcome mate to the redbacks!

I'm THAT guy everyone talks about

[Martyr]

thanks guys, i love meeting up with guys who share the same passions i do, and now that you mention it a hollow bucket would be easier to wear

fallout- you seem to be the man i need to talk to, where did you get your ts kit from? and would you recommend getting the same kit?

tirillia- it is a great pic huh? your top really brings out your eyes!

[Martyr]

hey can snowtroopers rock a dlt-19 heavy blaster rifle or are the e-11 blasters all that are accepted by 501st requirements?

[Tirilia]

My understanding is that no weapon is "required" persay, you can get approved as a TK without an e-11.

Then again, I could be wrong. You can 'Rock' any weapon you like after youve been approved.
