First and Foremost Welcome to FISD! Take a deep breath and dive in to the deep end lol we've all been there and you'll find a ton of resources and experianced members that are always ready to offer advise or a helping hand. It's a FOTK so I would start with this link First Order resource page and you should be able to find everything you'll need to get out trooping! As far as building I would follow ukswraths FOTK build thread. Many of us have followed both of Tonys original and New TK builds and have been able to go straight to EIB or Centurion because his builds are that clean. Start a build thread so we can follow along and you'll be able to post up any questions with photos and we can all offer some help. Cheers

Welcome to the ranks trooper!

Amazon carries them and like other have said, they only last about a year one you plug it into your system. Our Detachment Leader @Sly11 did a great post a while back about how to mod and change them over to a rechargeable battery. You can read that in the link below. Modding the iComm with an External Battery

Carrie, Where are you located?

Good to see you back!

Great attention to details, I see Centurion in your future!

Welcome to FISD Thomas. Any questions please reach out and ask, as you see we have a great group that'll help any way we can.

So the boots are still the sticking point… would it be possible to go with a standard boot for basic approval and build off of that?

Are we any closure to a CRL for Cardinal? I've loved the thought of this build since reading the book.

I along with others would gladly send him trading cards along with a patch or something along that line. Most of us have "Stormtrooper voice boxes" and could send a personalized message as well.

Looks Great! The only I would do is to get rid of any return edge on the shoulder bells, It'll help them sit better on the biceps, also make sure you tuck the neck seat in before submittal photos.

Welcome Terry and as you can see there are plenty of us that are here to help with any questions that might come up, don't hesitate to ask! I also started my journey at 48 and remember my first troop like it was yesterday, exciting times ahead.

Welcome Rebel Scum.... I mean Bill to FISD any questions please feel free to ask.

Welcome Vanessa & welcome to FISD. Fell free to look around especially the First Order Battle Group that Sly linked to. We have a ton of information and a great group ready to help anyway we can.

Congrats & welcome to the family!

This is amazing!

Hey Chris & Welcome! We have an amazing crew in Makaze squad with a lot of great opportunities for troops that’ll stay with you a lifetime. I’m located in Windermere so any questions feel free to reach out!

First off Welcome to FISD!! As Randy said you should expect to be in the 1500 / 2000 ball park when all said & done. But to reiterate the statement that once broken down it really isn't that bad and you wont build it all at once. After doing your research on Armorers HERE and figure out what's best for you and purchase your shiny white ABS. Once that's done you can start planning, building & saving for all the other parts. You'll find a ton of information and you can always ask any questions that pop up and we'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

Hi Josh, I currently have two sets of WTF Armor and have built them to EIB/Centurion standards. If you have any questions feel free to ask away or shoot me a PM if your more comfortable with that. Keep in mind that WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE so you have no stupid questions and nothing is that far out of wack that you cant fix. Walt also has some great build videos on his site as well and is active on his facebook page.

Welcome Allen!

Welcome Juan! You've got a great group with Everglade Squad thats for sure!

WOW only 35 spots left!!!! This has been a long time coming. Proud to be part of this group!

Welcome Ashe, You'll find a ton of information here I would start our Getting Started page it should give you a pretty good idea of whats involved and also the community we have here and how willing everyone is here to help. Another good read for those " a little short for a stormtrooper" would be Zel's post. Its an Anovos kit but the builds are the same, Best of luck but it sounds like your in good hands with your Midwest Garrison mates. We're here if you need a hand.

Welcome Ian, Don't forget to sign up with the Florida Garrison as well. If your in the Orlando area we host armor parties monthly.

Welcome Chris to FISD. Fellow Florida Garrison & Makaze Squad member. What section of FL are you in? Any questions feel free to ask.
