Rogue One Death Trooper

[marktoots[501st]]

I suspect that I wasn't the only one at Celebration last weekend photographing the Death Trooper from head to toe!? I know that it doesn't fit well with the SW timeline but I have found myself repeatedly drawn to back to it. Is Spec Ops going to lay claim to the CRL for this one?

I took photos of both the Death Trooper and the Shore Trooper. I think that both of them have a home in Spec Ops!!!

[marktoots[501st]]

Glad to hear that Dan. I already busy looking over all my photos and wishing I had got more. 😀

It looks like we will have a bunch of new additions with the premiere in December of Rogue One. Some of them will be here, some will be in Spec Ops, such as the Death Trooper for sure, and possibly the Shore Trooper, as it is listed as being a "Specialist".

That being said, I want to have a finished DeathTrooper in time for the premier...does anyone know someone working on the helmet and armor pieces? I am getting the "Vader" belt buckle, and I have, or am in the process of making/getting, some of the other parts (Ammo packs, E-1SD etc. ).

Let's make this happen!

I also started a thread on the new Blaster here:

I bit the bullet earlier and ordered the boots so I guess I have another build started. Think the wife is going to kill me. LOL

I know how you feel. Mama Wampa wasn't too happy when she saw the Storm Commando armor come in right after I finished my TB. Oooppss sorry dear

[marktoots[501st]]

I know what you mean! She wasn't that impressed when the TB was finished and was closely followed by a DC-15x! At least I've left a couple of months between that and starting this one. LOL

I went with the storm commando since there was a good overlap between the two armour's but now I just need to get the lid to finish it. Well, in for a penny in for a pound

[marktoots[501st]]

Is it possible to get a sub-forum/thread set up for the Death Trooper so that we can co-locate reference material, CRL working document, etc?

Yeah just run it by the command staff. We started one for the Phase 0 Darktrooper. You want them in the loop as they are the prime between the detachment and the LMO. This one's going to hotter than a Tatooine summer so prepare for the fun.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Most definitely. Ill get a forum setup for it. Also, once setup, we'll want a photo reference thread created and please post all those photos from the con.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

And, forum setup...and, this thread moved into it

 

I'd welcome someone starting a CRL thread and a separate photo reference thread to start things.

Could you pin the reference photo and crl threads to the top of the forum?

 

Thanks

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Yep. Everyone stop reading my mind.

Disney is now referring to the Death Trooper as the "AWR Trooper" (advanced weapons research trooper)

I must admit I wondered how long it would be before Disney changed the name as Death Trooper doesn't paint a family friendly picture does it!?

Maybe because it's the last thing a Rebel sees when they turn a corner...."Awwwww #&@#! (insert volumeous blaster fire here)".

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Small steps to move away from the grittier nature of the move. I like Death Trooper way better.
