Ave! Seeking opinions/recommendations here, citizens.
I'm just starting to build two Jihad-era Maniples for the equivalent of a battalion force, in minis. I was going with III Legio, but my proof of concept paintjob came out excessively average, and I don't think I can salvage it. So I'm now looking at IV Legio, Prima Cohors. Just as a check, their paintscheme seems to be reddish brown with orange details, correct?
For III Legio I had been planning three centuries of 'Mechs, two of vehicles, and a century of BA in hover transports. But IV Legio uses "twice as many vehicles as 'Mechs". Okay, so now I'm going with
* 1st Maniple - century of heavy & medium 'Mechs, century of light 'Mechs, century of Laser Carriers (for the funky feel)
* 2nd Maniple - century of XXX, century of Ranger VVIs, century of Ravagers in hover APCs
(Which technically gives me 10 'Mechs and 20 vehicles, counting the APCs ;) )
Question - for III Legio, or for a Marian force in general, what would you recommend (given the Jihad period) for the missing century of vehicles?
Thanks in advance,
W.
