dougefresh Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 That's pretty funny-- I think Vader and the Jawa are probably my favorite. Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I remember the person who made this posted it a while back. If i remember, they all put the pauldrons on to make the poster, lol. Great picture. Quote
DarkeSword2020 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I think the Scout with the clone style pauldron doesn't look half bad honestly... Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I think the Scout with the clone style pauldron doesn't look half bad honestly... I concur! Quote
Gearsofhalo Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 yeah, I think it actually looks kinda cool on the scout. Quote
DarkeSword2020 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Although, on the scout I'll admit I'd probably change the blue to a white or a grey. Quote
HPDblues[TK] Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 While the photo may be humorous, to some sandies, the message is not. As a former XO for the MEPD, I echo the sentiments of many hard-core sandtroopers who believe that the pauldron should only be worn by a sandtrooper. However with that said, we are a all-volunteer costuming organization, and each member is entitled to manage their own uniform/costume as they feel fit. As someone once said, "a pauldron & weathering" does not a sandtrooper make... T Quote

Runnriottt Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Finally! Man a Pauldron is dumb on a non TD. YEA! I have always thought that many get accessory envy of the TD. I have been guilty in the past... Although I wear one as Vader. Hard to explain with out a pic, but trust me... I wear one. You would just never know I do. :D Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 The fact that many FX kits come with pauldrons is part of the problem. It's like the attitude is "it came with the kit, therefore it MUST be legit to wear." A common mistake, especially among TK newbies. Maybe they should come with a disclaimer, such as "If you are not a sandtrooper but choose to wear the pauldron anyway, we take no responsibility for any negative reprecussions." Quote
SuperTrooper Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 Officially the pauldron is an EU stormtrooper accessory. Regardless it's not cannon. Quote

Maybe they should come with a disclaimer, such as "If you are not a sandtrooper but choose to wear the pauldron anyway, we take no responsibility for any negative reprecussions." Same could be said about black ab plate buttons and plastic belts. Alas... Part of the appeal of a stormtrooper is that we all look the same. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 It belongs on a TD plain and simple. LOL Quote
TK-1287 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 If I get applications with TK's wearing Pauldrons, I deny them until they supply pics without a pauldron. Enough said. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 If I get applications with TK's wearing Pauldrons, I deny them until they supply pics without a pauldron. Enough said. As it should be. It's not part of the CRL. Quote
davej[TK] Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 It belongs on a TD plain and simple. LOL Indeed . There was a bloke in our garrison who was adamant that he was going to wear a pauldron with his Officers costume and " it looks damn good " . He was persuaded otherwise ... Quote

ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Lmao. I don't wanna know how he was persuaded. LOL by the business end of an E-11. Quote
TK-7060 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 What I just noticed, is the the only ones not wearing a pauldron are the sandies. Quote
Thanatos Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 ummm.... does anyone else see the furbie on the snowtroopers pauldron.... Quote
Random1156 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 I think the pauldron is a necessary part of any costume... Just think...if you turn it to the front, you have the perfect bib so you won't get BBQ sauce on your armor while eating ribs...and if it's already red...no need to clean it afterward! Wow...I didn't know people actually wore it outside of the sandies...that's just...unnatural... Quote
