Because they are?

Find me a line in any of the star wars movies or SW Rebels that calls an E-11 an E-11.

The ESB Version as i recall was known as the E-11B.

One fan nickname for the TFA version is the E-7-11

Could call it E-11C, E-11FO... take your pick.

I've heard it called the F-11-D too, which I rather like.

Still a stirling L2A3 based, the only really BIG difference is that it's mirrored.

I enjoyed reading this: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31035-new-e-11-f11-d-blaster-episode-vii-the-force-awakens-random-thoughts-about-production/

and certaintly agree with why it was mirrored - trying to draw my E-11 is HARD. (reach down, swap hands...)

The Oldtroopers are always going to be classy; but I gotta say the Newtroopers are looking nice.

I especially like the new Flametroopers: that gun, those helmets; it just works for me.

This is a Flammentrupper.

He Trupps Flammen.

Yeah the new ones are very good. I have a tall girlfriend, I will be trying to convince her to go Chrome as Captain Phasma.

That would be a fun-and-fluffy costume.

(Technically, since Femtruppen are apparently a common occurrence now, she could go as any Truppen she wanted: if the chrome isn't blowing up her kama, she may like one of the other variants.)

Btw, you may want to skip the DLT-19 in favor of something a little more modern.

Aw man your girlfriend is tall? Niiiiiiiiiice.

Oh, do I EVER love the heavy trooper's look! Carrying all those satchels and bags around.

I wanna' cosplay that. Badly.

Once they go chrome, they never come home. Oh, yeah....

On a more srs note, I'm planning a Captain Phasma at some point (or maybe miscellaneous other mid-ranking, possibly SOF First Order trooper). And I'm a dude. Until recently, the only real option for tall folk was Vader. Now there is another option.

Remember though, it's gotta' be "Captain Phasm o ".

So... Bob o Fett?

You would not believe how many times I've heard people say that.

Alright, so if this link doesn't go EXACTLY where it is, select nova scotia, then find the link about Hal-con not disapointing with geek eye candy, then photo page 10.

I'm the handsome fella on the left, to the right is the wife.

edit: I appreciate that means you guys will need to move past page 9, which I admit is hard to do.

Two Empires, one family; I love it!

(I also love that you look just like your profile picture! )

You two cosplay well. Very well.

Thanks guys, She's likely stealing my Stormtrooper armour, and i'll get myself one of the new anovos TK's... we'll see.

Chances of seeing Vizago and his cool ship in the Scum faction at some point in the future? (That's all I could think about this episode)

He Trupps Flammen.

He might look cool but his older brother with the Plasma-Thrower and shield generator looks better

Well, he might if he weren't wearing plasteel shorts.

Is that plasma thrower even close to being canon? I mean, I know it's A cannon, but...

The Redman one?

Lemme see.

This -> http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29496-plasma-rifle-flamethrower-build-for-my-icn/

was inspired by this -> http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12214-custom-flamethrower/

and which is a very common build here -> http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/91-flamethrower-plasma-rifle/

It's meant to emulate this guy's gun -> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Incinerator_stormtrooper

from The Force Unleashed.

It's pretty cool, and the troops in TFU were pretty hard even for a Sith.

I like them, just not as much as the Newtrooper variant. Give them some screen time, they'll become terrifying too!

(Legends only.)

Remember though, it's gotta' be "Captain Phasm o ".

Nah. I'm going to be cross-dressing/in drag.

Not that anyone will be able to tell because, you know, armor is pretty unisex. But hey.

I had a feeling it was TFU related..!

I really liked The Force Unleashed games.

I thought the stuff they added on was pretty cool in all regards, and I enjoyed watching the grittier take on the Empire and it's fight with the rebellion.

Walking around Nar-Shaddaa, killing pirates on Praxis, wreaking havoc in the TIE factory...

I hadn't liked a Star Wars environment that much since KotOR.

Guess chat-rp in Battlefront and X-Wing will have to be my siphon of Star Wars gritty story until TFA is old enough to get its first few spin-off games.

He might look cool but his older brother with the Plasma-Thrower and shield generator looks better

Yeah, no. That guy might have better gear, but the Flametrooper looks way cooler.

I really liked The Force Unleashed games.

I liked the FIRST one. The 2nd one is really dumb and is like 3 levels long.

Say what you like about the second game, but the starship levels made it worth it for me.

(You're totally right about the Incinerator Trooper vs the Flametrooper btw; the Incinerator is nice, but ultimately just a Stormtrooper with red plates and a fancy gun.)

TFU II is why I'm glad TFU isn't canon anymore.
