Simian Legion Design Contest Entries

Okay, I like the more Roman look for the troops. And these gorillas are not the elite troops. Maybe veteran, but not Centurion level. As such, they won't be the silverbacks. More likely they would be males, just out of youth having seen some action. Their fur would still be mainly black. Their faces a lighter shade, going to gray.

I chose white for their tunics with red trim because it stands out nicely with their dark skin and fur color. And it carries over the Roman theme of red in the uniform.

Their armor would be bronze with the skull cap, breast plate, and sword handle done bronze and the blade of the weapon done in steel. The shield would be trimmed with red on the outer edge and black seperating the two white areas. The pattern on the inside would be done in yellow with the studs done in gold. This creates a sort of concentric circle look drawing archer fire into the shield as opposed to the Simian body.
