Hello fellow Praet commanders! It's been a while since I've posted,
but I'm back in the game. I decided to start at the basic concept stage.
I'm constructing my force with a few units in mind. First, the regular
line infantry (of course), then an armored company, an irregular
detachment (think Natal Mounted Police), and possible a regular
mounted detachment. I have a lot of names in mind for the various
units, and I'd like your opinions as to which names work best for each
one.
Also, for their banners and such, I've included working mottos for
each force. I've taken these from mottos within the British and French
armies from the 18th-20th centuries.
Line Infantry:
Lord Emperor's Imperishables
Emperor's Own Fusiliers
Regent's Honourable Guards
Pratoria's Carbineers
Royal Rifles
Royal Buffs
Motto: Dant Otia Vires - Repose gives strength.
Mounted Regulars:
Praetorian Mounted Rifles
Royal Mounted Rifles
Red Vanguard
Honourable Mounted Hussars
The Indefatigable Lancers
Motto: Nulli Secundus - Second to none.
Irregulars:
Frontier Light Foot
Mounted Rifles
Border Irregulars
Motto: Certa Cito - Swift and sure
Mounted Police:
Praetorian Mounted Authority
Praetorian Constabulary
Motto: Exemplo Ducemus - Lead by example
(may also include commissars, which will merely be Praetorian Sergeant
1 with his sword replaced by a nightstick, pained black and perhaps
with a badge modeled on; I had the same idea for Mordian Sergeant 1
with checkers pained around his cap brim)
Looking forward to feedback!
