kr-lik Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Still, I'll get two of this pack, although I still want to know what they look like next to the Inquisitor... I can take a picture for you later on. Quote
kr-lik Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) for a bigger pic: http://ccollapse.naz...ig/DSC_0004.jpg ** i just realised how dusty ny Fury Class TIE is :o :o ;o ** Edited January 9, 2015 by kr-lik Quote
Venkefedo Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Welp, that just confirms for me that getting a pair (or quartet) of Shadow Guards to be the Inquisitor's flunkies is a good idea! Quote
Dragonlego27 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Wow, thanks so much for that picture kr-lik, it's really helpful (and awesome). I'll probably get four of those Shadow Guards to go with the Inquisitor, as he hasn't had any sort of elite troops or guards in the series so far. It's almost like Lego gave us this battlepack to go with the Inquisitor. The issue is, I'm going to have problems sticking to only two of the set... Quote
Corydoras Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Did the speeder actually appear in the game or is it something comp;etely made-up by LEGO? Quote
TWP Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Did the speeder actually appear in the game or is it something comp;etely made-up by LEGO? Yeah, it's completely made up. That's ashame, as I'm sure they could have come up with something that does. Quote
kr-lik Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 not really shame imo. The speeder is actually really cool imo! Quote
zero1312 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Some of the best imperial troops lego has made. I can't wait to pick up a couple of these packs. I got to agree Fuppy, the shadow guards would look better with a trans red head. I disagree. You probably wouldn't be able to see these visor because the helmets are pitch black. Solid dark red would have been better. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks for the review kr-lik! I thought I would prefer the Shadow Guards, but I actually prefer the look of troopers. The guards just don't seem to have enough detail, especially considering they only have plain red heads and the new Iron Legion Drones from Avengers have awesome trans printed heads. Still, I'll get two of this pack, although I still want to know what they look like next to the Inquisitor... Wouldn't it just be easier then for you to buy both and mix the heads? I collect Star Wars not Marvel so if i even considered buying Marvel it would have to be a dang good reason. I disagree. You probably wouldn't be able to see these visor because the helmets are pitch black. Solid dark red would have been better. There are only few Minifigs that If Lego does make deserve Colored visors. The Republic special forces such as Omega squad for example is one of such Minifigs that would be really popular I believe and should have a non-standard visor.

It's almost like Lego gave us this battlepack to go with the Inquisitor. The issue is, I'm going to have problems sticking to only two of the set... I find it better to buy what you need. The Inquisitor is a very nice figure and would work well with the Shadow Guard. I do see your point though. Sticking to two sets is hard to do. Especially with what you intend to do with the guards. I bought 2 of the sets and I love them. I have the Shadow Guard and Shadow Troopers with my Republic army Since the Shadow troopers unless told otherwise are basically clones and the Guards are just basically the elite for of the Royal Guards. Currently I have my Shadow guards protecting Yoda on "Missions" and the 4 Royal guards that i have protecting him when he is at "Home" since i don't yet have Palpatine Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 The shadow troopers are stormtroopers. They have the same print as the OT ones from the ISD. The guards make infinitely more sense if the troopers are stormtroopers, since both are from the OT. You could use them in a Republic army, but I prefer to keep my PT (including CW) and OT separate.

Technically the stormtroopers (Unless it says differently) ARE mainly clone troopers so you could use them however you want Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Technically the stormtroopers (Unless it says differently) ARE mainly clone troopers so you could use them however you want The stromtroopers that were previously clone troopers quickly became a dying race. Most stormtroopers are made up of recruits. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 The stromtroopers that were previously clone troopers quickly became a dying race. Most stormtroopers are made up of recruits. I realize this but until Lego starts putting other faces on them besides clone faces I will treat them as clones Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I realize this but until Lego starts putting other faces on them besides clone faces I will treat them as clones To each their own, I guess. They only do that because producing different faces would be a huge pain. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 To each their own, I guess. They only do that because producing different faces would be a huge pain. would still help if they had at least one face different then the others Quote
Darth Punk Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 They wear helmets, I fail to see how their face matters. That may change in TFA due to rumors involving certain stormtroopers. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 it matters because of the fact tht NON-clones had different armor. NON-clones had modifications to fit them Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 it matters because of the fact tht NON-clones had different armor. NON-clones had modifications to fit them I'm lost here. The stormtroopers are a faceless army. What does it matter that TLG makes every Stormie with the same face? And non clone stormtroopers have the same armor. Every stormtrooper I've ever seen has had the exact same armor. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The mods are the difference and yes its a "faceless" army so if thats the case then y arent they just blank heads instead of clone heads huh Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The mods are the difference and yes its a "faceless" army so if thats the case then y arent they just blank heads instead of clone heads huh I honestly have no idea what you're saying here. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that English isn't your first language. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 modifications to the armor so that non-standard troopers can wear their armor and have no issues with it. If its a faceless army y not use blank heads Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 modifications to the armor so that non-standard troopers can wear their armor and have no issues with it. If its a faceless army y not use blank heads Ok. I assume though that the only modifications would be on the inside, since clone troopers are about an average build. It's a faceless army I'm te respect that we never see their faces. If we never see them, what should it matter what faces they have? It doesn't automatically mean they're clones. Quote
BigJoe Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) i realize this but it never does tell during the movies if the stormtroopers are clone or non-clone and you have to remember that some species besides humans were used so there would be a change in the armor for them even on the outside Edited March 6, 2015 by BigJoe Quote
GallardoLU Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 i realize this but it never does tell during the movies if the stormtroopers are clone or non-clone and you have to remember that some species besides humans were used so there would be a change in the armor for them even on the outside the Imperial Military machine has always looked down on alien species, including the most human-like ones. as far as cannon is concerned every single trooper we see is human (clone or otherwise) meaning that modifications would be on the same line as pant sizes...

If you want definitive answers, look to the EU. From TLG's stand point, making varied soliders is pointless, especially when we never see any faces. It would be a nightmare for everyone. I don't care what you do with your troops. Customize them and display them as you like. That's the beauty of Lego. Quote
