This is very easy - if your parts do not match the CANON reference material, then you do not meet the MP, TM, or other canon brigades REQUIREMENTS.

1. Look at the reference pics.
2. Do your parts match in style and color? If no, then that is your answer.

Dresdon - your armor does not fit the bill. Your gauntlets might...

I'll chime back in...

The squad markings in the artwork are only seen on members with red and blue. None of the yellow marked guys had them. I havent 100% double checked that but, after recommending those marks it was pointed out to me the yellows don't have them.

All the canon references for True Mando's are in Open Seasons and none had stock  earcaps. All had the comic earcaps. For maximum accuracy which I believe is the point here, those should be used, not stock caps.

The white cheeks was something I forgot to removed when I modded the same post from the MP's  :-[

Id disagree on the green. I think, like the fight over is Jodo caution yellow or pumpkin orange, the green is a trick of the coloring not the actual flightsuit color. It doesn't seem consistant from frame to frame or even on the saem flightsuit in the same frame.

The only reason a neckseal wasn't mentioned is Jango and his lack of one. If the guys want to add it, Im good for it.

I think that the red [ ] should require a jetpack since it was used for Montross's unit.

That's a good point as well Haro. And those are the little things we need to catch. Wearing the red [  ] requires a jetpack, wearing a jetpack doesn not in and of itself require the [   ] though.

Yes, one day we will have all the little things figured out for each color and style. Then the next day we will die of old age. Sorry, I had to make a joke about it. But seriously, I think we are getting there.

No. Please calm down and read posts. ESPECIALLY in the brigades section.

You are spamming away in important conversations.

I don't want to be rude, but it is stated in at least a dozen different places that the brigades are optional, including every single 'announcement' in regards to the Brigades.



1: I agree with coverage and the green, but the 'grey' looks like it's meant more to be gunmetal than light. The only time it looks light is when it's reflecting a light source, which is where you can argue in favor of it being silver. As to the backplate: can be of standard Fett design, or one of the two segmented styles shown in OS:


The < > ( ) and [ ] are definitely only depicted on 'leaders'; Jaster, Jango and Montross.

2: Agreed.

3: Standard Fett-style helmet with OS-style ear-caps (definitely agree that they're never shown with standard ear-caps) and with RF. Primary color to match armor, visor-frame/mandibles red, blue or yellow-orange.

4: Flightsuit, agreed again; the only time they're shown green is when the characters are in the background, a common comic book artistic tool to make the foreground more eye-catching. When the exact same individuals are shown in the foreground, the flight suits are grey or bluish.

5: Same-same as MPs; essentially Fett-style in appearance, but the pouches don't have to be exactly Fett pouches as even Jaster is shown with slight differences to the belt.

6-7: Agreed and Agreed

8: I agree with requiring a jetpack with the [ ] as it's possible that that squad symbol denotes a jetpack-enhanced squad. Otherwise, jetpacks optional but must be of canon design (Jango, Boba or TCW hybrid).

9: Agreed; variants allowed, but must be styled after Boba or Jango's.

10: Agreed.

Apologies, I should have been more specific; except where otherwise noted, I was agreeing with Falin's initial post. One change I'll make now, though, is about the flight suit and the double-sleeve; I agree with your suggestion of making the double-sleeve optional, as there are plenty of depictions in the comic that don't show the double-sleeve.
