Since we're going with the whole 'dying Empire' theme and since it is set in Skyrim I though the Imperials should have looked like this.

They look silly.

They look fine to me. Except for that draco standard.

Besides, at least these Romans aren't 1st-2nd century Roman cataphracts.

No.Let imperial look how they look,Those just looks stupid D:

I like the classic Roman look, Marian reforms to late 3rd century AD over the 4th-5th century counterpart that came later. Bethesda went with the classic Roman look that more people are familiar with. Movies like Gladiator, Rome HBO, Starz Spartacus all have the classic Roman look. Come to think of it, I cant think of one Roman movie or tv show that takes place in the last few decades in the Western Roman empire.

those remind me of the Guard gear from Oblivion :T

I dislike the whole pseudo-Roman thing, it seems rather lazy. I know Rome is supposed to represent imperial glory but if they're going to use that as inspiration then at least go for something unfamiliar, like the Late Roman Army.

I... just.. can't.

They look like 4 guys who found someone willing to rent them horses so they could make a cool entrance into the weekends ren fair.

Leonard, Sheldon, Raj, and Howard maybe?

And of course out of sympathy, Stewart as well. But Raj rented his horse for him.

Nah, more like http://comitatus.net/gallerymaryportinf11.html

Come on, that's just the same guys without their horses.

Not really, Comitatus has an Equites and infantry group. They aren't just a group consisting of five guys and their horses.

Every Imperial should be a reskinned model ofhttps://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRbRlw0Gb4S4IvIdcidPz9dD7dNE9Km7sQxGx2INLbpR3eW51bYyA EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Those pictures are ............................ Hilarious. The guy with the pole looks like he's got a blanket tied around his neck, like I used to when I was pretending to be Batman. (used to as in last night).

No, http://www.soldiers.it/uploads/5f4bada37fe2693e.jpg

The Native American legionnaire is funny, but so is the other one.

Including the ones in the background or just the foreground?

Even the females? PERFECT!

THIS +100,000

So much respect.

Just Dean and Frank.

It's pseudo-Rome because the Imperials are only superficially based on the Roman Empire, they aren't trying to recreate Rome, but make a vaguely original culture in a Romestereotype palette.

I actually prefer the post-marius Reform ones.

@ Nyleken. Just have your character wear some trousers that you get from Helgen, pick up a hide shield, Imperial sword, boom late Roman infantry. I'll stick with my Roman lorica segmentata plate armor AKA heavy imperial armor brah.

For the glory of the Mede Dynasty!
