We got a fresh look at these guards earlier in the week, but now there's an even clearer picture of the men charged with guarding Snoke (the striking red, matched with his gold robes, just adds to the opulent nature of the Supreme Leader's character).

These Elite Praetaroian Guards are serving as Snoke's personal bodyguard, a la Palpatine's Royal Guard (just another parallel between them then), and as previously reported to all carry different weapons, in a very Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fashion. Fingers crossed this means we'll actually get to see them in action, rather than just standing around looking intimidating.
