Each unit in RTW is made of copies of a single 3d model. Each 3d model can have as many textures as you wish. As such, you can have a multitude of looks for a unit but not specifically diferent textures within a single unit. The officers (centurions, captains, standard bearers, etc) are independent and are added independently to the unit. They have a max limit of 3 per unit. So, the most variablity you can achieve is: 3 different officers + unit skin = 4 different skins within the same unit.

This for each of the factions that uses this specific unit.
