Regiments from your nation in service of the Imerian Crown

[Imeriata]

These units are an elite division of the "volunteer" army of Kovasckitz- essentially people who signed up for a lifetime of service, and who in their right mind would do that?

Then what the devil would they do in the royal guard?

[RandomGuyNation]

Number of regiments: 1 (1st RGN Army Foreign Volunteer Regiment)
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): Standard RGN Army tactics
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Standard RGN Army BDU
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: I'm not good at this...
do you have a nobility back home? No
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment?
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Well, mostly Caucasians, many African-Americans, some Asians and other minorities
What is the main religion of your people? No national religion; religion is more or less your own choice.
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) They are all bilingual and are formed completely of immigrants.

Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Standard RGN Army BDU

I have not the slightest idea what that looks like

Bahh this is the royal guard, not some birdwatching club!
We go into battle gloriously with proper uniforms not some damned uniforms better suited for boy scouts attempting to study wild animals.

Slavs with Israeli ancestry

What now? wouldn't that be to say that they where ethnic Germans originating from Japan?

Honestly, I think this looks cooler than your normal guard uniform. IT reminds me of that pic you showed when you were arguing with NN.

well it looks too much like Nickies when I use red, blue and white if I should be completely honest, sure I have planned to replace them with a blue, yellow and white but I have not found a design that beat the blue and grey I use now. with this being the best I have for the moment.

S'lovely, I definitely recommend you go with that; guard uniforms are supposed to be flashy, after all.

[Imeriata]

S'lovely, I definitely recommend you go with that; guard uniforms are supposed to be flashy, after all.

Quite, even with the grey used by the common guardsmen today so do the high guard wear a fashionable blue, yellow and white uniform already but the royal guard is still however our army.

another reason why the uniform is not being adopted now is because we are still investigating other possibilities for colours with red instead of yellow also being strongly considered as well as black trousers, as it is now so is any future royal guardsman uniform still sadly on the drawing table.

Oh, yes, red is lovely. If you want to look like a Frenchman!

[Imeriata]

Ohh do not be absurd, of course would red pants be out of the question, after all we are men and as such not afraid to show our enemies that we can bleed I dare say!

[Orcoa]

And now...a new gift to Imeriata, The Death Company!

Number of regiments:1
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow):Close Combat, Proud warriors, and use of tech but keeping with tradtions of past wars
Do you wish to have a specific uniform:Yes
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: They look like knights in black armor with Skull helmets, they wear the Orcoan Cross and the colors Red and Black all over their armor. They have scrolls writen in Orcoan runes to show all of their past deeds before they feel to the insane rage
do you have a nobility back home?A Few
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? A few
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Orcoan
What is the main religion of your people? The Holy Imperial Church Of Orcoa
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) Truly insane beserkers, they feel no pain and can take a lot of wounds that would kill normal men. They are the berserkers that fought in the normal beserker units but they can't stop their animal like rages and have no choice but put into the Death Company. They are said to fight as true heroes before they die...anytime a Death company beserker dies, a new one gets put into the unit. They are seen as tragic heroes for they are sent on mission that are both extremely dangerous and deadly...most men in the death company don't come back alive.

Blood angels, surely the best chapter in the history of 40k!

Orcoan Berserker cuirassiers

Just as the Orcoan berserker so are the cuirassier berserkers a elite company lost in their own mind and unable to see the world around them as they are consumed by rage and given to the federation with the rest of the Orcoan formation, even if most federal scholars theorises that it was to simply get rid of them.
This was something that the absolute royal federation took advantage of as they armoured them in the full plate armour that was worn by cuirassiers and armed them with the two large calibre pistols that cuirassiers normally wear but instead of the normal sabres were they given large two handed swords to better bring destruction to the enemies of the king.

And surely is a charge of the berserker cuirassiers a horrible thing to be subjected to as the massive red and black maniacs ride at their enemies shooting everyone they see before they dismount in melee with their two handed swords cutting down those in their way with their horrifying warcries as they ignore wounds that would cause a normal man to fall.

This is what I wanted, you are awesome

This is what I wanted, you are awesome

Thank you... And now do I want to paint blood angels.

Blood Angels are my second army besides my chaos space marines

[Makibishi]

Number of regiments: Two
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting: Makibishi military doctrine focuses on range. Artillery is predominant, supported by light recon forces; together, they seek to pinpoint the enemy's location and decimate them from a distance... a task that they are well-suited for, if everything goes as planned. The light recon forces do not seek out engagements; preferring to fight with traps and ambushes if at all, as their primary task is to gather information, not defeat the enemy. The artillery forces aren't well suited for close-in combat, and will seek to reposition themselves (or retreat outright) rather then be forced into such an engagement... but so long as they've supported by some other force that is equipped for close-range combat, to stand between them and the enemy, they've no problem blasting away as long as the ammo holds out.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Makibishi's colors are black and silver; their uniforms are black with silver trim. These uniforms are relatively unfancy and straightforward, as befits their corporate influence... though more experienced and higher-ranking troops do steadily accumulate a series of increasingly fancy decorations, and the mercenaries that seek foreign service are more prone then most to seek such decorative rewards, as it stokes their ego.
Do you have a nobility back home? No.
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people? Makibishi is somewhat of a melting pot... but the asian races are strongly-represented.
What is the main religion of your people? The Incorporated States acknowledge no religions... but Buddhism is quite common nonetheless.
Is there something the regiments will be known for? Soldiers from the Incorporated States who seek foreign service are exclusively mercenaries. Mercenaries are, after all, one of Makibishi's noted exports, and the various mercenary companies prevalent in the Incorporated States are quite competitive. Though they try to downplay this fact, they are sometimes considered cowardly, as their tactics and equipment do not lend themselves well to direct infantry engagements... and they're in it for fame and fortune, not ideology, and thus, perhaps, less-willing on average to take the risks more noble fighters might.

Frenchman? (Image) Isn't one of the reason's the Brits wore red shirt is so if one of them got shot the enemy has no idea whether that shot was effective or not along couple with the music so that the soldiers would keep marching forward no matter what?

Frenchmen looks better in red!
But the music was supposed to keep the soldiers marching in line properly while the red was used so that the British would be able to spot that the guys on their them where on their side and not shoot them which is the reason why everyone wore those wonderful uniforms back in those days.

No, Red was chosen accidentally by a clerical error. The New Model Army was originally to be uniformed in blue, but the cheapness of scarlett combined with the fact that Red was by then considered the national colour of England lead to everyone liking the colour.

Colourful uniforms as Imeriata stated was in order to identify who was on your side, as well as provide morale. People cared about looking good then.

Indubitably. What you're saying Attamirus, I think, may be a joke that was told.

"There was once a general who wore nothing but red so that should he get hit he would not show fear or pain to his men, so as to be a good commander. One day, however, he looked across the horizon to see a huge mass of enemy soldiers in the hundreds of thousands. He turned to the man beside him and said, "Excuse me, but could you pass me my brown trousers?""

Or you know, some other really shite and cheesy joke.

I never got that, wouldn't any colour but white or really light grey be able to cover up the fact that you crapped your pants unless you had diarrhoea or something.

Makibishi dogs for hire

As mercenaries are the Makibishi dogs for hire not considered loyal soldiers so they are not given any important positions and their men are often sent into battle amongst the first wave of non-humans to give them a chance to arrive and survive the first battle partially because as the old saying goes "A dead mercenary requires no pay!" and partially because most federal officers would rather not have Asians posted on firing duty as how they can see with those eyes of theirs is anyone's guess.

More than that so have they again and again proven to be a bit deceitful and untrustworthy as they are not all that interested in dying for fame, glory and the crown for some strange reason and they have more than once relied on rather deceitful tactics to win which are not that appreciated in the royal guard.

[Imeriata]

The on your side I think would really only take effect if battle turned into a massed brawl other it would be relatively easy to identify who is on your side in a linear warfare situation. Eh, my whole is proably an after note or bunk considering I remembered that the guy who I got this info from was a flag expert on a history of Colonial flags presentation.

Actually that would be rather important quickly when you pushed with the bayonets as the battlefields where covered rather quickly with a thick fog from all the cannons and small arms that where fired and as the battlefield didn't consist of only two large lines (but rather several smaller ones) exchanging fire so did it have its advantages.

Actually the eye slint thing is very visually useful, it allows them to not have to close their eyes in a sandstorm.

Paint me red and call me running arrow, would you look at that!

[Imeriata]

I believe that you mean East Asians? Many people such as Iranians, Indians, Arabs, and many other races are Asian as well but have "big" eyes. East Asians don't really have "tiny" eyes; it is really the same size as non-East Asians. They simply have a patch of extra skin above their eyes.

East Asians have them because it combats the extreme wind and cold of Tibet, where East Asians originated. But because it is part of their DNA, this adaptation still resides even when the East Asians travelled to warmer places like Vietnam.

Actually so did I both know that only east Asians had those weird eyes and that it was because that they have more fat in their eyelids (even if I thought that they came from Siberia or some other northern part of Asia rather than Tibet), but Imerians tend to be a bit ignorant of the world around them and they do not meet Asians that often.

[Makibishi]

Heh... not a fan of mercs, are you? (Institutionally speaking, of course...)

Using them as spare grunts is, perhaps, the least effective way you could use them... if nothing else (as in, if artillery support is not part of your military tactics, or if you aren't willing to employ mercenaries that can bring their own mortars and cannons...), they'd be more effective going out ahead of the main force as a recon element, where they can locate, harass, and ambush your foes (Makibishi's other main strength). But hey, you're the boss.

Mehh I felt as picking on one of the regiments so they got something of a bad position.
