awww damn :D

Alright, next guess. they have some connection to Germania (their shoes - I can't believe you guys implemented that detail into the model, you obsessed nerds) but they are too dark to be Germans. What if they represent a tribe in the Alpes? Weren't those people darker than their northern neighbours? Also their status as an elite unit is contradictory to their simple attire. Could this be because the mountaineers of the Alpine regions were rather poor? Are we looking upon the finest sons or Raetia?

Who needs shiny armour and cool weapons when you got skill but at least they have some huge spear heads to make up for that and large shields.
That's what makes elite units, some may fight light some may not.

Early version of Speutogardoz(Germanic pikemen)?
just throwing stuff you know, the huge spearheads and so..........

[nazgool]

Ok my next guess
Noricene Gaecori
or
Appea Gaedotos

To give one little tip, actualy the shoes are of germanic origin:

And from alin on TWC:

LaTene shield designs .

Thus a border region. Alpine, Noricum, Netherlands or South Germany.

edit: If there are leather shoes, maybe there are Bog Body... Netherlands, Jutland, Uchte and Windeby in Germany, ...

Thorsberg area? Because of the shoes and of the cloak .

edit: Druhtiz Habukisku, with the Munsterscheveld shoes and the thorsberg cloak.

Hum. They're quite dark (uniformly so) for people from that region. I mean, I know a guy who is actually named after that tribe, and he looks like an Arab, but that's 21st century and even today an exception.

They look like Gaizoz Alje, but since they are an elite unit I'll say Dugunthiz Hattisku...

"Elite" may be a bit over-stated perhaps. They're comparable to the triarii, though, for their own culture.
