Pretty sure. The DTs looks like this (original DF images at DFFAQ):

i know how it looks, but the dt have looked different in GB too
Galactic Battlegrounds :D
Well, as I said above, the Dark Troopers (abbrev. DT) only appeared in Dark Forces (abbrev. DF).
Any others are just modified Stormtroopers. point.
Unless i'm wrong :D
No, I assure you, it isn't the Jetpack Trooper from Academy. That is a Dark Trooper. Heck, it even says Dark Trooper, and looks just like one save for the fact they got the color wrong and the fact it doesn't use its assault cannon. But I digress!
Anyway, yes, that is a Dark Trooper. I would if I were you probably use the color scheme from Dark Forces and use the model as a reference. But that's just me.
You should have Hapslash do the Dark Trooper. He'll get it right. :)

Sorry Fracman, but you are wrong :p I have Galactic Battlegrounds (the RTS using the AOE2 engine) and one of the Imperial special units is a Phase 2 Dark Trooper. Unfortunately it only has a blaster, not a plasma cannon :( I guess the developers didn't do their research...
Ah, ok. May i have a screenshot of that one, too, please? thx. :cool:
Heh... convinced, it looks like a Dark Trooper, except it is still kinda Stormie-white and not dark gray brown like in DF.
I kinda like the 'stormie' white, but whatever. I can just change it eventually. And for the record, you should go with the GB version as a reference. I believe Corto is working on the DTs, yes?
I don't like the "stormy" white too, they are DARKtrooper! This dark-gray fits them very good.
Well, for the record, Corto is using Justin Chins original artwork and the DF sprites as reference.
I'm sure Corto will do a good job.
Wish he would hurry up with wip pics, im havin kittens waiting lol.....im thinking of calling the ginger one ginger and the grey one smokey and the white one snowy
cliched i know but if u have better kitten names pm me ;)
Come on Michael, just be patient. As a wise man called Darksaber says, "Good things come to those who wait".;)

An intelligent move~
He must have the Dark Forces playuers guide or something then, it has neato concept art in there
Hey there...
Actually I wanted to ask for permission to edit the stormtrooper model included in the DF Demo and make a Sand Trooper out of it.
But now that I know that HapSlash is working on a Sandtrooper I gues that won't be necessary anymore :>
btw: Great Work!
After the destruction of the Arc Hammer, the DarkTrooper project was largely scrapped. But the R&D was still there, and as you can see, there were further uses of DarkTrooper-like technology. To quote Kyle Katarn "Black Armor?! Not again!" The Darktroopers were just a bit ahead of their time, too expensive for massive deployment, and when controlled by the droid brain they could be outsmarted by particularly reasourceful beings. Hence, we see Dark Trooper-like technology in other parts of the Star Wars world.
Seriously though, the troopers in JA were harder than the Jedi IMO. Those Conc Rifles could fry you fast, requiring actual forethough and care, wheras the dark jedi were simple saberplay. So maybe the empire WAS onto something.

Hey guys i read your conversations in the attempt to find dark trooper references, and decided to look myself.

i hope those could help
Thanks for the posts although we already know them :cool:
I found this very nice Dark Trooper Phase 2 fanmade Action Figure
http://www.rebelscum.com/toys/tndarktrooper.jpg)
I recommend you guys play DF if you havent already, although its graphics are not the best and u may not have sound, nothing is gonna set a better example than the actual DT from the original DF....after all isnt this mod supposed to recreate that classic?
Well I own Dark Forces and the head of the Phase 1 Model from this Mod isn't actually after the sprite (The sprite has some visor like eyes, the head is long and the face is very flat). It's made after concept art, but it looks damn good! So I don't think its very bad if the Phase 2 is a little altered. As long you recognize it as an Dark Trooper, it's okay.
Speaking of the Darktroopers (the thread is about the new Stormtrooper people! :p), are you (and by 'you I guess I mean Corto) going to make them that flat, ugly grey. I noticed the last custom figure posted was much darker than most of the sprites I've seen. Maybe you (there's that 'you' again :)) could make the DT a little towards the black (as in the color) side, just not completely. Not only because it's called a 'Dark' trooper (not an 'Insufficientlylighted' trooper), and because it makes more sense for Kyle to remember the "Black armor (not again!"). That or bone white, like in GB.
BTW, I am aware that my post has an excessive amount of parentheses (spelling?). I'm having a great day! :D
Make it two-tone, dark grey/brown and very dark grey...use the dark grey/brown as highlights and put the imperial crest on in the same colour.
EDIT: Please, please check your post after you have submitted your message. I just had to delete two messages here, because of your TRIPLE post!
phew after more than half a year he finally released it ... :D
Hooray!
That latest pic of a DT2 figure is mint!
I know this Topic is about the new Stormtrooper but we post many DT pics in here and i found this very cool Dark Trooper 2 pic in the Rebellion Era Sourcebook from the D20 Star Wars RPG
http://mitglied.lycos.de/mantorok99/ST/Dark-Trooper.jpg)
That's the Phase III. The Phase II looks more like a Stormtrooper.
I know how DTs look... i've seen enough ingame picturers for the rest of my life...
and you are right, i did an mistake... it is the Phase III
But its still a very cool Dark Trooper picture
No doubt it's a great picture, but its still a Darktrooper Phase III. :)
where is the pic from? a comic?
Its from the Star Wars D20 RPG Rebellion Era Sourcebook
