ER, yes I can. These are very rough lists compiled by Xanthippus. Here are some of the planned units for Pergemon:
Ekdromos-Light Spearman, known as the “Outrunner Hoplites”. They were extremely flexible and also common in the Seleucid armies. They were armed with a 9-foot long Spear and a Theuros, but wore no body armor other than an “Eastern Thracian” helmet that all or most of the Hellenistic troops should have. Most Pergamene infantry would probably be these men, as I do not believe that the Phalanx was popular with them….they preferred to use Galatians mercs as heavy infantrymen, most of the time.

Pergamon should have some kind of Prodromoi-type light cavalry. This is a good example…note that he carries a Theuros shield like most Pergamene troops.

Hetarioi/Xystophoroi (use whichever name you prefer) -Pergamene Hetarioi were arguably the finest of all the “Companion” type cavalry fielded by the Successors. Note the frontal horse armor, known as a “Parapleuridion” to the Greeks. I also have a pic shown in “Warfare in the classical world” where the rider has no shield but wears a mask-type helmet (like the Seleucid Agema in RTR)

AoR troops should include skirmishers and Galatian warbands, and Greek Mercenaries (like Cretan Archers) should be readily available.

Bosphorans

Thuerophoroi: (should be the best available to any faction….the best armor anyway)

Kontophoros Hippikon: “Kontos bearing Cavalry”-Heavy Cavalry, with a rider wearing chain mail armor wielding the Kontos spear.

…as well as various Sarmatian AoR units (Horse Archers, skirmishers, etc.)

Pontus

One problem. I dont have any people available who can skin. I have permission from Atilla Reloaded to use the entire Galatian faction units from Successors TW. But that is all I have. If anyone is willing to help, that would be extremely great.
