Shadow Trooper

[chaos2034]

Ok, if this post is in the wrong spot...my apologies. I spent like 5 mins trying to figure out WHAT forum my question should go into. <br><br>

I recently found the Avonos Shadow Trooper armour set - original, not Rogue One (suppose to be released next month) and I immediately fell in love!! <br><br>

Being in Canada...my armour options are limited. I was in contact with Mark from AP last fall - sent him an email asking about Shadow Armour also. I see that Rubies also has a set, for considerably less....but I know the mixed feelings on Rubies. I have their Vader and Kylo Rens mask, and dont find them overly high quality for the price.<br><br>

Anyways, does anyone know about obtaining Shadow Armour? Appears to be same as ST armour - just straight black. Would it be more cost effective to purchase the white armour an color it? <br><br>

I also wanna ensure it meets 501st specs - as Id love to be involved with them, once I move to Ottawa in the fall. <br><br>

Any info you can provide - is appreciated

Hey Dave, welcome to the FISD, glad to have you here. I have one word for the Rubies, RUN! This is not the armor you are looking for. > http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/19329-where-what-and-whom-to-avoid-when-buying/

 

FYI the Anovos Shadowtrooper armor release has been backed up to Q3 so it's going to be a few months, not to mention the first 100+ or so will be going to those of us who pre-ordered months ago.

 

Don't fret though, we have plenty of other armor out there, check out this page >>> http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/ 

 

Hope this helps some, cheers

I ordered the shadow trooper from ANOVOS last year in november and it's supposed to ship in June. I also have their OT TK and it's quality is pretty decent so I'm assuming their shadow will be just as good. 

 

Check this forum for more possible sellers or information on shadow troopers, they can help http://www.501stspecopsdet.net/

 

Other than that all the advice I personally can give is based off of my history with ANOVOS, and i have yet to recieve my shadow kit. I wouldn't paint a white Tk though, thats just asking for a pain in the a** if you ask me 

 

Also don't forget this http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_shadow_stormtrooperthis is your bible when building your kit lol

Definitely hit up the Spec Ops Detachment. And definitely stay away from Rubies armor.
