FISD has many wonderful programs to help members build and submit costumes for our detachment, whether it be a classic Stormtrooper, a First Order Stormtrooper, or even one of the new Imperial Armored Commandos. While our Expert Infantry and Centurion programs get most of the attention, FISD staff wants to relaunch the Armorer Program (Currently called the Master Armorer Program). What is the Armorer Program you ask? Well, it is a program designed to recognize those troopers that go above and beyond to assist themselves and others in getting costumes built, submitted, and approved. One of the goals of all the detachments in the 501st Legion is to help members build and submit costumes that meet and hopefully exceed the minimum requirements of the Legion’s CRLs. Currently the Master Armorer program has the requirement of helping a minimum of 5 members achieve Expert Infantry status. The member must have spent at least 30min physically helping another member with cutting, gluing, sizing, etc, just because they want to help (no money exchanged). The definition of an armorer is “a maker, supplier, or repairer of weapons or armor”. So while we certainly love the feedback that members provide to others on the forums, and the extra steps some do by having video calls to help walk people through issues with their builds, this program requires hands on work. The new program will have the same physical help requirement, but we are going to move from a “wins” system, (where a win was help an individual for 30 min or more) to a points system, and we aren’t limiting it to only Expert Infantry builds. While we are pushing the Advance to 1500 to try and achieve 1500 Expert Infantry members, we recognize that the goal of the detachment is to get FISD members build, submitted, and approved. So we will be awarding points for Basic builds as well. Currently there are 3 levels of the award, FISD Armorer, FISD Senior Armorer and FISD Master Armorer. The new program will add a 4th level at the beginning called the Apprentice Armorer. The point scale will be as follows. 5 points - Apprentice Armorer 10 points - Armorer 20 points - Senior Armorer 30 points - Master Armorer The Armorer candidate would earn points based on what level the member costume they assisted with achieved. If you help with a basic build, you get 1 point, if you help with a EIB build you get 2 points. So a person to basic you get a point, help them again to get their EIB earning another 2 to a total of 3. The thought again here is that we want to help build as many stormtroopers as possible. If you love building armorer and love helping fellow members get their costumes built, then this is the program you’ve been searching for. We look forward to awarding more members with this award as we know how much we all love Troopers helping Troopers.

Hey, I have 21 years old I live in Portugal. Would like to be a stormtrooper.

The updated Armourer system is points based. By assisting other members in person you can earn points which count towards the ranks of the program. Ranks Apprentice Armorer (new) - 5 points Armorer - 10 points Senior Armorer - 20 points Master Armorer - 30 points These ranks will be awarded in the form of a forum badge in your profile. Rules All assistance must be in person and for a minimum of 30 minutes. Help is given in the spirit of Troopers Helping Troopers, no money or items of value may be exchanged. The candidate armourer must create a new thread in the Armorer Program Forum, For each member helped add a post to your thread stating: Who the member helped was. A summary of the help given. A link to the relevant approval page (legion for basic, or FISD for EIB). For points to be claimed the member helped must confirm the assistance in that thread. Should 2 people assist one member both may claim but must have assisted to a similar level, and both must be claimed and confirmed individually. Staff will update your running points total, and awards as they are earned. Points will be awarded as follows: 1 Point for assisting a member clear their first stormtrooper costume. 2 Points for assisting a member earn their first EIB award.

thanks for letting me in

Great work so far John! These should be pretty easy fixes for your. Lets bring another EIB home to the ECG!

I think the shims are done. I might go back and use the ABS slurry to try and make it seamless, but as EI doesn't require it, I'm going to move on to the next step. Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

I think we can all relate to this at 1 point but sadly this is me right now.
