darrelljcomte Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I have read the specs: White or "light" weathering. But there is this artwork drawing with "camo" effect that I really want to do. If I did this paint treatment, how does this affect membership?
Oberkisstillalive Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 the closest thing you can do to that is make the armor green for a swamp trooper which I believe is an approvable costume
Ammonites Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 There is one I want to do for convention use. Magma Scout! Just color alteration for this image, but gives the right idea.
sylverbard Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 scouts are not camo'd. kasshyk trooper perhaps? however, once approved as boring white, you can do whatever you want to the armour and troop it on non official troops. paint it pink. or red. or shiny silver. just can't wear it for lfl or disney or any events where canon characters are wanted. have fun :-)
darrelljcomte Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Thank you for all the input and info.

bugdozer Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 the closest thing you can do to that is make the armor green for a swamp trooper which I believe is an approvable costume Are there any actual swamp troopers in the 501st? I notice that the picture in the costume refs looks like the regular scout photoshopped into a different colour. I hate to say it but I do think the bright green scheme is somewhat silly.
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 The Kasshyk troopers already have a green camo-ish colour scheme. Weathered Bikers have a bit of green on 'em. Like Bugdozer said it could be Photoshopped or maybe its a weathered Biker in dappled light? I'm just not a fan of the colour schemes for troopers (Mandolorian armour can be any colour now). Its like what toy companies did with the Batman Animated figures, just repaint him, maybe give him new weapons and call him Freeze Attack Batman or whatever. Something like that was actually used in Batman & Robin (!). An episode of Brave and the Bold made fun of the ridiculous level it can get to, like 'Street Luge Batman'. Some Stormtroopers can look OK with colour stripes, but for me, Bikers should be white or weathered. But if its approved then go for it!

Yup, there's two or three... I've made a helmet for one of them. It's from the Star Wars Galaxies game, and it is indeed bright green. The costume itself is held over on the Spec Ops forum, where all (well nearly all) the other Scout variants are covered.
Chunk Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I know there's at least one Swamp Trooper in Australia. I made his jumpsuit.
Griffin-X Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 This is the only approved Swampy in the Legion. It was developed by Craig Budge (RIP sir) and worn by his wife Mel. There are 2 versions - animated and realistic. This is the "animated" version.
Chef Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Didn't DartofTruth have one? I know he's on reserve now. Shame Mel put her knees on the wrong way up for those pictures. 1

bugdozer Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 One of the UK Garrison troopers is working on an Aquatic Scout, which I believe is a scout variant from one of the comics. He showed me the artwork.
Chef Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 There are 6 Scout variants in total at the moment, with 4 of those currently on the 'official' 501st rosters. They're mostly dealt with over on the Spec Ops forum, apart from the Snow Scout which is now residing with Blizzard, and the regular one which is here obviously. I've got 3 cleared at the moment, and am aiming to have all 6. 2
bugdozer Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 So.. that's regular scout, Kashyyyk scout (camo), Kashyyyk scout (white), Swamp scout, Snow scout and Shadow scout as the officially allowed ones, which is 6 in total. The Aquatic scout must be number 7. Any others?
Chef Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Nope... I don't count the Kashyyks, as they are Clone Troopers and a different armour set to the Scout. There's Biker Scout Storm Commando Snow Scout Swamp Trooper Sea Trooper Forest Trooper The last two need to be officially 'cleared', but we're working on it. 3
Ammonites Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I like this one! Is that EL wire around the visor and snout?
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I like this one! Is that EL wire around the visor and snout? Tron Scout!
Chef Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't match any of the references, so wouldn't pass the LMO's for acceptance onto the rosters.
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I found some red biker gloves here http://imperialboots.com/products/bicker-gloves/ Is there a red Scout?
