Iz,

 

I think this is the same picture just reveresed, or very close. But it shows a right handed Elite Novatrooper.

 

Add it or delete it. Your call.

[izzi[TX]]

Yeah, that was the original sketch that was later scanned, flipped and repainted to become the official artwork.

I believe that the RPG reference should be removed since it is NOT accepted by the 501st

This gathers ALL references for the troopers. The CRLs would be the guidelines to follow. Who knows, if more references show up in the future it may be accepted one day. The problem is WotC detailing is pretty soft when it comes to their pictures, so I believe that's why it's the odd man out.

What is the rifle the sketch is using?

[Fivezero[TX]]

I believe, after lots of thinking, that it a T-21 with some modifications. Knowing SWG there is a Modified T-21 in the game that is a T-21 with the stock cut off. I can grab a screenshot if you want.

Just noticed something - there is a gold stripe on the backpack in both of the Nova Elite pics. It is faint, but is there if you look.

Where? I only see reflection of light off the armour.

[Master Tej]

I believe it is on the frame of the pack itself, or right next to that. Looking at the second Nova Elite reference, the one posted by Sith'ari, it is below the left elbow of the Trooper.

It appears there is also one above the left shoulder bell and next to the pouches in that area, if you look.

Good spot

[Master Tej]

Thanks! The pack frame, perhaps?

[Apok[TX]]

Ah now I see it. Good one. No idea what it is or where to paint that one.

[Master Tej]

Well, I said the pack frame above, but it also looks like it could be perhaps an accent around the seed trays. I dunno for sure, though.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Looks like it is apart of the pack.

[Master Tej]

So, after looking at the location of the gold on the Novas pack in the reference pic, compared to the pack I got from Dirtyboy, I believe that it is a gold stripe on the lip where the two seed trays meet.

I'd avoid that "bit" of gold for now. On the picture, it's only 2x7 pixels wide and doesn't follow the edge of the pack any further. My guess it that it's supposed to be some sort of gold reflection off the armor, though it could be the cap to the mortar tube. Until we get a higher resolution version of the picture, we may just want to wait on it.

Is it me or is the Nova Elite in the third photo, the one sent by Sith'ari, wearing two knee plates becasue it is gold on both knees. Would that mean if someone did a phase 2 stormtrooper then we could also do a phase 2 nova elite?

[Master Tej]

You're right, I never caught that before! One of the admin, maybe Izzi, will probably know about it.
