Chitin isn't bad, but it's not very colorable. Composite is, however. I agree with Ryu, we eventually need to get BH armor.

Isent BH armor Battle?
Also I will be in Recon armor
More Effective in PvP
BH armor is classified as Assault armor, so all Commandos will be able to wear it.
And actually, having 2 small units wear battle armor and recon armor respectively wouldn't be a bad idea. Make the guild as a whole a bit more diverse.
I'll let everyone debate on that, and if we do it, what kind of battle/recon armors should be used.

Well, I think that Composite would be the best for guild assault armor, and then maybe some decent marauder battle armor and ubese as recon. All give good color options, and if we could get a RIS-cert'd AS working with us, we might be able to churn out a few RIS helms instead of using the ugly ones already being used.

Unfortunately, no full set screenie but hey, at least you can see what the pieces look like individually. Click on the piece and the screenie will be linked at the bottom of the box on the top.
Chitin isn't very colorable but it does look cool and can be colored to look sandyish which is good since we're based on lok.

I would prefer Comp because it is very colorable, and I actually like the looks. But I don't think the base color should be white, too many white stormtroopers and clone troopers running around. I like black, but the Imp clones are black. We should be origional. I like green myself, forest green just seems like a Commando color. I think I also saw a comic where most of the mandalorians were wearing green. BH armor would definitely be good if we could get enough of it, and maybe if we got really good, our guild leader could end up with a "real" mando suit.
Here's my color ideas:
Boots, gloves: Black
Leggings, chestplate, helmet, bracers: green (or other decided primary color)
Biceps: Role specific color
Belts, Bandoliers, Packs: This would be a good place for origionality. Let people use their personal preference here. (Mandalorians were known for having very individual suits tailored to their personal fighting style)
Roles:
Guild leader: Gold (maybe silver so it is easily distinguished from the Support troops below)
Officers: Red (this color will be an earned privalege given to Guild members that have proven themselves to be a good group leader. Red will be a mark of honor. All team members put great trust in their officers.)
Recon Troopers (Scouts/Rangers/Snipers): Brown (We may also want to allow these guys to change their primary colors to match the planet they are operating on, like tan for desert cammo instead of green. But they will always have the brown biceps. These guys have a colder quieter nature. They favor precice execution over all out mayhem.)
Assault Troopers (heavy damage dealers): Blue (this class would be for riflemen that don't snipe or other guys focused on all out carnage. this is the fearless, slightly insane class. You can be blue even if your template isn't damage oriented. You just have to go like hell and never turn back. I see them getting yelled at for throwing grenades at lairs and such.)
Hand to Hand Specialists (tanks): Black (These guys have a more meticulous and tactical nature. They like to pick apart the enemy, but are not as wild as the Assault Troopers.)
Support Troopers (crowd control): Yellow (These guerilla warfare specialists excel at disrupting enemy tactics. They are the wisecracks of the team and greatly enjoy annoying the enemy troops with state effects. Clever and tactical like the Hand to hand specialists, with a witty edge.)
Medics (healers): White (Thise guys are always thinking in the interest of the team, and survival is their top priority. They are constanty trying to keep the overzealous Assault Troopers from getting the entire team killed.)
Well that's something I came up with. Got started and couldn't stop lol. I added in a little personality info that I think would be fitting for roleplaying, but this stuff can all be changed based on what you guys think, just me brainstorming.

Dang RC, the roles ya just listed fit perfectly with my Battle Squads post, save replace recon with sniper, and support with special forces hehe.

From what I've seen of Mando armor in the prequels and KotOR, the main color is actually blue, which works with theBH armor. If it's not colorable, we can just use Composite biceps for the role designations. I agree that white isn't really... appropriate.

lol Tyreal I just read your post and was thinking the same thing. If you say Mandalorians wear blue, that works too. I don't see many guys in blue armor running around. We would just have to change the Assault biceps to green.
But I still like green better

Oh and I forgot to mention, Special Forces sounds better than Support, so I say change that one. But since all scouts and rangers may not be snipers, I say keep the Recon title.

I agree with RC on the colour Green, but that may be because my favorite color is green
