Yup. I expect the same from Fleet Troopers.

Nice. I'm sick of painting storm troopers. Snow troopers will be such a nice change.....

lol.

Grabbing me 2 boxes tonight.

so who do they fight? No rebel forces in cold weather gear yet.

They are basically "difficult environement troopers" more than snowtroopers. They fight where it sucks to fight.

I have some "hoth inspired" painted rebel troopers.

No one seems to worry about the Stormtroopers wearing all white in all environments. I don't understand the pearl clutching in regard to the Slowtroopers.

I think that I would have preferred the Snowtrooper to be Elite - slightly more specialised than the regular Stormtrooper.

Snowtroopers are called that because of the action figure circa '82; I think they ought to be identified as Stormtrooper (Cold Weather Gear), though I like the idea of Stormtrooper (Hostile Environment Gear); that way they could be on Lava worlds, extreme desert worlds (not friendly ones like Tatooine), and such.

I mean, the official name is "Cold Weather Assault Stormtrooper", "Snowtrooper" is a nickname because by the time you shout "COLD WEATHER ASSAULT STORMTROOPER" somebody has already been shot.

Yeah, these guys are basically wearing the Hazmat suits. So extreme cold, heat, or toxic environment. Also, great outfit for cooking meth.
