Two Lupine males in imperial service (rather than local or "royal" service) whowing the standard armour type for imperial troops. Not carrying the scutum, these troops are scouts and light infantry, harassing troops.
[Originally post3ed to yerf as "imprl02.jpg", on J7uly 17, 2000. The original Yerf Description as follows: "Here are a pair of Lupine legionaries in Imperial service. Not nobility, they are accorded respect as members of the Emperor's forces. Not matching the physical strength of humans, they are used more as breakthrough troops, and Behind the Lines raiders. Lightly equipped for maneuverability, they none the less are armored and protected with some quality gear. This is a portion of a larger picture that has humans in it. I may upload the whole thing on yerf.binaries . pencil on paper. Scott A. H. Ruggels 7 / 2000".]

Lupines..
Some spears, but upines arent massive enough for good spearmen. So give them heavy swords, and send them behidn the lines to harry the supply lines, have them right behind the Heavies to exploit any breach in enemy lines, because they have wicked fast ground speed.
Also it's the transition point between the Gladius and Spatha.

I loved the way that you did the helmets on these troops; a very nice way of adapting the normal shape. They did have the straps work as cheek and mouth protection; it covered most of the face. The majority of the face was left open because Roman's believed that the more a solider could see and hear the more effectively he could act in combat and come home alive; so it was a state of trade offs. How they would handle a muzzle in real life is something that would be fun to debate.
But I thought the Gladius Hispaniensis was drawn off the right hip with the right leg back in formations to allow the sword to be maneuvered to pry up enemy armor, and the Pugio was drawn opposite; but I could be wrong on that.

Fair enough; I still need to learn and review Roman weapons, formations, martial arts, and tactics. I have been perplexed to find good info on Roman martial arts, Pankration, and medieval wrestling; you wouldn't happen to have any good leads on where to find some stuff online?
