Just be aware the the MG-34 was the base for the DLT-19 the MG-42 was used for some of the bounty hunters' weaponry.

I just found this out when checking the CRL. Good thing I didn't buy it yet.

 

Thanks for the heads up though izzi.

What color Paulderons are accepted, or are only the BLACK one's accepted?

From the blackhole CRL: * PAULDRON: May wear a solid black pauldron over the shoulder of the arm carrying the sidearm.

 

So only black, as far as I can tell.

Yes, it's only black. Though I am not sure why you would want any other color besides black or an extremely dark navy blue. o_O Everything else kind of takes away from the stealth concept.

Yah, I agree, I've got the Navy blue paulderon ("Sniper"). I talked to some leaders in the Florida Garrisons and the Blue are accepted as well as Black on TXs'. In my neck of the woods (Mountain Garrison) NO paulderon on a TX is accepted. I was just curious if there was somewhere that has a TX list, other than the TK's White, Black, And Orange one.

Until last year, Pauldrons were not considered a canon accessory for any Spec Ops troopers, but due to some digging and heavy lobbying on the part of our Fearless Leader, There are now 4 TXs that have Pauldron references, and to the LMO that's all that matters.

• Blackhole/Shadow Stormtrooper: We can thank SW Galaxies TCG promo art for the black pauldrons on these guys. (Only black is acceptable)
  
• Magmatrooper: The Gentle Giant Statue not only gave us the first item carrying the "Magmatrooper" name, but also gave us a nice black pauldron for it! (Only Black is acceptable)
  
• Novatrooper: A commander version of this is shown in SWG with a gold pauldron, and is the only difference from the standard Novatrooper. (Only Gold is acceptable)
  
• Novatrooper Elite: The only version of this that we have has a gold pauldron, so the gold pauldron is a requirement and not an accessory for this trooper. (Only Gold is acceptable)
  

 

Hope that clears things up. When the new CRLs are launched, this will be made clearer.
