Have a read of this un' if you can.. really sorry i listed it under a wrong header before. My bad haha. But yeah feed back ladz.

Guys don't Flame me for Thread Necromancy "You know who you are!".

I like the article, i have been working on a ROMAN Themed Legion.

Trying to be CODEX by following the Principles of the MARIUS Reforms of the Old Republic found some really nice bits and bobs. You could use or ignore these but i'd thought i'd share my Thoughts and opinions.

MY LEGION IN WAITING OF BUILD & PAINTING

IMPERIAL CONSULS

Chapter Master is a LEGATE = (IMPERATOR is a bit strong only the Roman Emperor could be called Imperator it would grate against the Emperor of Mankind in 40k i think?)

LEGATE (Chapter Master) - Octavius Scippio
CHIEF TRIBUNE (Chief Librianian) -
CHIEF PREFECTUS (Chief Chaplain) -
CHIEF SURGEON (Chief Apothacary) -
CHIEF ARTIFICIUM (Chief Techmarine) -
TESSERARIUS (Chapter Honour Guard) -
AQUILIFER (Standard Bearer) -
IMMUNE (Legion Champion) -
EVOCATI (Dreadnaught)

A Centurion would equate roughly with a SM Captain.

TRIARII = Termies
AUXILLIA = Scouts
ASTARTES = Marines

An OPTIO would be a Junior Centurion in Training so could be classed as roughly as a Sergeant or 1st Sergeant of the Company/Cohort? A Cohort was normally 80 men not 100 the Century meaning 100 years is a bastardisation.

DECURION = Sergeant

Check out WIKI for more... How cool is this Legion sounding already.

EVOCATI = A veteran of the Roman army who had the right to retire, but had chosen to stay on after his tenure was finished. During this period they received double pay and were excluded from regular duties such as manual labour. = I reckon DREADNOUGHT IS PERFECT FOR THIS..
