favorite type of stormies

Post by Jason von Evil »

There's alot of different types of stormtroopers, from normal to sandtroopers, artictroopers, etc. Which is your favorite?

For me, sandtroopers. I've liked them since I first saw em in ANH. Oddly enough, I think it's because of that tan thing on the stormies shoulders. That and the dewbacks. :D

I'd say Storm Commandos, those black uniforms kick ass. But the New Republic's new special ops guys are even better

Of course I may be slightly biasd twards the NR.

LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're in the last NJO book. There was a thread that described them.

Basically they have black Stormie-like outfits.

What's the purpose of the shoulder paldroon anyway? If it marks rank or something, then how do the regular storm troopers mark rank?

Bah, I like the regular stormtroopers. The classic.

Yes, the good ol Darktrooper. Sort of makes me wish Kyle had failed in that mission. The Phase 2s were so cool....

Darktroopers!

Although, the new new troopers in Jedi Academy are pretty cool as well.

Spacetroopers. The guys with the big heavy zero-g armour, that can fly around in space launching mini-protons that can even make an X-wing think twice.

Imagine, some guys are shooting at you on a ship, you blow open a wall, expose the whole room to vacuum, and you're the only survivor.

Zero-G Troopers. One of the few positive contributions WEG made to mapping out the Imperial war machine, IMO.

Classic stormies (I guess they would be Marines, right? Boarding and whatnot) Menacing and faceless...the TRUE extension of the powerful arm of the galactic empire. Sure, the others filled a niche (Darktroopers and whatnot) but when someone says Stormtroopers, I always get an image of the Tantive IV...

There's practical applications, such as turning the Stormie-YV kill ratio to about 1:500. :D

Spacetroopers are favorite Imperial soldiers. They have heay armor, massive firepower and can fight in any enviorment.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
