Okay, so a quick update on what I am working on today.
Standard Bearer Re-Skin:
(This standard-bearer is showcased with a unit of legionaries I am doing based on the Adamklissi metopes [please excuse the faces, a preview of the the Adamklissi legionaries will come shortly]).
I have currently given all standard-bearers a montefortino helmet, as it was in use throughout Rome II's time period, and a coolus looked out of place with Polybian units. I have replaced the auxiliary shield with an Iberian shield closely resembling the parma.
The final preview includes my new triarii, but they will come in a later preview when I have replaced their spears and done the finishing touches.
Marian legionaries:
Legionaries have been given more plain montefortino helmets. They have all been given plain republican style shields as well (the augustan shields looked out of place in my opinion). Additionally, gallic mail and armour has been added, as it would have certainly been used among the legionaries of the period.
The centurion in the first Marian Legionary image is part of my officers re-skin, which will be properly displayed soon. Marian centurions will have more hellenistic armour to make them stand out (and it would be historically correct - refer to R. D'Amato's work!) on the battlefield. I will also add torcs to some of them.
