Hello there, has anyone done a Shadow guard from the Force Unleashed game?
And will they be accepted into the 501st?
I have searched the web for pics of these guys and dont seem to be able to come up with anything but black imperial guards!

From 'Force grabbing' these guys in the game, as far as i can tell they're outfit is made up of:
Imperial guard helmet in Black with red lense, Red with red lense or blue with red lense
Black undersuit, maybe like a tie fighter pilot (regardless of having black, red or blue armour!)
Imperial officer belt
Unique ab plate/ armour
Stormtrooper Chest plate
Unique back plate/armour
Modified Scout shoulder bells
Unique plain flared forearm gauntlets
Jango Fett style shin guards
and Jango Fett style foot armour
Finished off with a cool staff with a lightsaber style tip :P

If anyone can shed some light on these guys i would be very appreciative ;)

can you post your reference pics? That would make it a lot easier to talk about this character.

I'm sorry to say as they are based upon the Imperial Guard, they belong to the Sovereign Protector's Detachment (where I believe they are already working the costume), not here where we specialize in Special Operations Troopers. :(

No problem, even if the ForcePike is giong to handle this costume we can still have our little chat about it here too.

So wait... We get the Stealth Troopers which look exactly like TKs, except the color, weaponry and the kind of missions they're sent on... but the Sovereign Protector's get the Shadow Guards, which are different because of the color, weaponry and the fact that unlike Imperial Guards they're actually sent on missions...

I'm confused how this works. But hey, That means I can build one of these to try for an ID besides TX.

I'm not sure either why they took it, but, the good thing is that you can get a new ID with the Shadow Guard

In case anyone is wondering, Shadow Guards have been approved in the legion. So keep your black armor and go get a TR prefix! (I've only had the unpainted helmet for about 6 months now. Probably my project for next year.)

Yep I have my black TR helmet with red visor ready to go. tunics are ready too so are the gloves and boots. Just need to build my weapon and find the other parts of the armor that are not the same as for my TX

The Legion is a stickler for how they want to see costumes categorized, and even despite this, we're always glad to see everyone's handiwork here and celebrate a well-done costume.

It looks really sweet, BTW. :)
