I prefer vanilla Stormtroopers, followed by chocolate Darktroopers, all wrapped up in a neat gift box.

Shadowtrooper. They're a pain to fight, but they look damn cool, and they have Force powers (albeit artificially).

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I prefer the Red Imperial Guard, because they look intimidating. But, for combat, the origional Stormtrooper.

I would pick any Trooper coz i live in Belfast and am regularly shoot at too, can i have some trooper armor so i can buy some milk with out worry of gunfire?

Only joking. I like the SpecNav Troopers. Sneaky bastards are essential to any way and the Imperial Dirty Tricks Teams have it down to a fine art.
