Description

Why black armour stands out

Shadow Troopers are an elite variant of the Empire's stormtroopers, dressed in black rather than the familiar white. They are not part of the best-known film scenes, which gives them a slightly mysterious reputation among collectors. On a shelf, a squad of them makes a strong contrast next to regular troopers. For many fans that is the main reason to pick up this set: a distinctive Imperial unit that looks quite different from everything else in the collection.

Numbers for an army

Like every battle pack, this one is about figures. You get 4 minifigures, with the rest of the 95 pieces supporting them. Squads look better in numbers, so many collectors buy several copies to form a larger unit. The set works for both play and display: children can stage a quick skirmish, while adult fans may prefer to line the troopers up in formation beside a bigger Imperial model or inside a diorama of their own.

Colour and part data

Black dominates the colour list, followed by trans red, dark bluish grey and light bluish grey. The transparent red is the only bright tone and sets up a sharp contrast with the dark shades. There are 34 distinct elements among 95 pieces, so plenty of parts repeat, as you would expect in a figure-focused pack where helmets and armour come in multiples. Building it takes only a short while, leaving more time for posing the squad or arranging it in a scene.

Completing and reusing

Weapons and small accessories are easy to lose from battle packs over time. The parts list on this page lets you check a used copy element by element, including colours and quantities. Black and grey bricks are also useful for Imperial bases or vehicles of your own. What can I build? on this page compares your inventory with other sets and shows which models you can build now and which need only a few more parts.
