White armor for tourneys

By Takeda, in X-Wing

You think wearing your white armor to a tourney would be going to far?

  • Only if we can wear our Rebel flight suits also.

Hell to the yes!

Here I thought Imperial Pilots wore black.

Only pilot on the weekends. Rest of the time I gun down rebel scum in RT mod. :)

Oh! Why have I never thought of bringing my life-size cardboard storm trooper as a cheer leader!?

Oh hell....that is easily the nerdiest sentence I have ever typed...

I've actually been tempted to play in my Mando armor... Outside of the fact that precision movement would be near impossible and my FOV would be abysmal.

Mando armor being worn grants a free action with firespray.

Hey if I had an imperial pilots uniform, I would totally wear it to a game.. haha

I saw a guy in a Rebel Pilot outfit at PAX East this year, though I was disappointed that he didn't enter the X-Wing tournament, but space was super limited (16 people).

You know you're obsessed when you start a thread like this. :lol:

Lol...

The problem that many of us, me included start to think about wearing a pilot uniform during a tourney ;)

Wouldn't be any more distracting than a low cut top... unless it was a low cut stormtrooper outfit, at which point I'd have to cry foul.

I've not played any tourneys, my wife bought me the Core set for Christmas & we've only played a few games of the quick start rules as my wife isn't in to 'complexities' :)

HoweverI was trooping at a large Star Wars event at the weekend and we spotted that Rebel Legion was fielding a X wing pilot, so a couple of us brought some sets for a photo op...time & space was a little tight but I'll stick a couple of pics up when I get a copy...2 TIE pilots Vs 1 X wing pilot, all in full costume... We were winning, obviously ;)

The photo op & chatting to the other guys about the game has ended up with me registering here after drooling over expansion sets.

Got to find someone local (Nottingham, UK) to play now ;)

Then enter the words sexy stromtrooper in a google image search and prepare to cry loudly.

Tempting, but I don't take google image recommendations after the great "blue waffle" debacle of '07.

I'd like an imperial admirals hat to wear when playing. Its a lot less effort.

Wear it Omg show your love for the Empire!

I'm afraid to ask.

It is rather safe, I think I saw only one instance of TaunTaun Toe before scrolling.

I didn't scroll.

Dress up as Darth Vader with two female stormtroopers? Sounds good.

I think this thread is seriously lacking in pictures.

I would totally rock a costume at a game.

Darth Vader commanding a squadron of A-Wings, because yes.

White(black tie optional) armor is only acceptible between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Other wise formal black should be worn.

I have enough trouble bumping ships around in short sleeve shirts. It's not like I'm a chunky dude and have big sausage fingers or anything. And I'm not the LEAST coordinated guy on the planet, but you'd have to have rolled REALLY high for your dexterity when making your character to wear a costume and play this game without it looking like some kaiju movie or something.
