Keymonus Posted March 8, 2020 LeBellan, Old Mission of Zeus of Breshaun, February 620 Name: Legiòn de Mardierennes, 1ere Compagnie Unit size: Company Type: Line infantry Motto: Per Re Filippo e per Oleon! The last two years represented a harsh awakening for the Empire of Mardier. The colonial army, the navy, the Bumble Tuna commercial fleet… everything crumbled under the enemy cannonballs. Terraversa and Isla de Medio were lost, and entire units simply ceased to exist. With Eslandola ruling the waves, hundreds of soldiers, functionaries and civilians were left behind. Some of them accepted to remain under the rule of their enemies, while several others resettled in the near colonies of Corrington and Oleon. In Breshaun, a new company was formed with expatriated Mardierians, mainly from the garrisons of Terraversa and Isla de Medio, but also some of the few survivors of the Admiral Cadiz's expedition to Charlatan Bay, recently evacuated by Tristan Rimbaud. The members of the Legiòn de Mardierennes (Legion of Mardierians) are equipped with the same weapons of the regular army, but wear peculiar uniforms and are led by Mardierian officers. Although most of the Mardierian volunteers are already veterans, they received some weeks of training in the old Mission of Zeus in Breshaun, converted in barracks a few years before. The training included marches, bayonet drills and firing in the shooting range, as usual... ...but also lessons of Oleander language and culture, especially for the officers. As several times in the past and in other nations, the members of this company of expatriates will become loyal members of the Royal Army, while keeping a proud memory of their origin.

merc Posted March 8, 2020 I like the designs of the soldiers. The story behind why there are Mardierian volunteers is well done. Each scene ties in to each other really well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ross Fisher Posted February 28 (edited) I have a proposal for a uniform upgrade: Potentially add to the Encyclopedia entry as a second company from Terraversa? Edited March 4 by Ross Fisher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keymonus Posted March 16 Great uniform variant! I will update the Encyclopedia as soon as possible! I usually build in yellow, but also the flesh-colored heads offer some nice options. I think I’ll introduce a secondary character and a storyline in that color palette! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
