While I know that Hellenistic phalanx soldiers had a great variety of helmets armor shield designs...im not sure how the REAL legionares (mostly after marian) varied? Cause I wouldnt like units of cloned romans all over again...
How variable was the appearance of legionares?

It's WIP but they aren't exactly clones.

Re: How variable was the appearance of legionares?
Okay, I have looked very closely at the two pictures released, and from what I can tell the legionaries are exact clones. Wether they are wip or not I cannot tell, since I do not know what wip is.

check the shields out.
Re: How variable was the appearance of legionares?
I would expect them to be clones. This was probably the first real army standard issue. All other armies of the time you would supply your own arms and armor or be expected to pay for them, thus leaving room for personal styles. Rome mass produced identical armor, tunics, helmets, and spears for a generallly uniform army. Unless you want to throw in a few who chose to put grafitti on the shields or something of the like, this was likely how the roman army would have looked.

In the pic, there are two different shield designs. While I wouldn't expect the equipment to change, the faces should.

Re: How variable was the appearance of legionares?
Yeah sure, but I doubt their faces were all the same.
But, I guess this is just a very early thing made just to tease us.
