Post by delabane »

Hello All,

Does anyone know if there is a difference in armour between Lava Troopers and Royal Guards when in red Stormtrooper Armour?

Thanks

That's known as Legends now. Magna Troopers can be found at The SpecOps Detachment. http://501stspecopsdet.net/

Ah thank you!

I was thinking of in the future getting Stormtrooper armour for a Royal Guard. However there does not seem to be much information in what the difference in armour between the specialist Magna Troopers and Royal Guards is (both just appear to be red).

When not performijg duties aa a guard, they were allocated back into rank and file? I think they were just in regular stormtrooper armour (possibly working in teams together, not sure)?

LT will correct if wrong lol!

If you go by Legends they certainly took rotations into Stormtrooper units to maintain combat readiness.

This was a thread I started, about this very topic: http://forcepike.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2436. It has links, that for ease of reference are included below.

There is also mention of it in this article, with references to Legends material: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor' ... rd/Legends.
