Blood Wolf

Hello everyone, For a while I've been up in the air if I wanted to go TIE or scout, and I finally decided to take the plunge here. I will be reaching out to the Tampa 501st in the area for further help but figured here is a good place to start. 1: I have seen a lot of mention of Lancer, is this like a tier 2 approval? A step up from the basic? Is there a link showing the requirements, differences, etc? 2: I know a couple of the acronyms like WTF and MC...but not too familar with all of them. Can someone pm me the cheat sheet to the armors and such? 3: I did look at the comparison thread of the armors and helmets. While great visual, I had a few questions. What seems to be the best kit out there at the moment? From quality and accuracy, to thickness, sturdyness, etc. I'm about 6'1" and range from a good day at 190 to cheating 215lbs with a helmet of 23" to 24" needed. I have looked into WTF, what is the general opinion of them? So I guess Which is the best kit overall? Which is the most accurate? Which is best for budget? Thanks for any help on this
