These are the high ranking military "leader units" who lead the imperial forces to victory on the battlefield for the greater good.

There has been discussions going on in the forum about the "leader unit" in this forum topic:
http://brikwars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph ... ader+units
I personally support the idea of leader units effecting the army with bonuses and such and have bonus ideas about that type of unit before the topic was posted. I think that the leader units should give the army bonuses according to their expertise. For example if a leader unit has "Tank Commander" expertise than he should give Move or Skill bonuses to the armoured vehicles and tanks. I would like to hear your ideas and comments about my custom figures and the idea of leader units as well.

I love these guys. Are those custom decals, or standard torsos with M-badges and ribbons photoshopped on?

Some of the torsos are made with full torso sized custom stickers which I printed on glossy sticker paper.
Some designs of those stickers are my own designs.

For some of the stickers I used the original torso design for the starting point designing the custom sticker, recoloring them and putting M-Throne related logos and details.

Some of the torsos are original torso prints on which I put very small stickers on them to add logo/badge/belt.

These guys are great. Kaplan, your attention to detail is incredible.

Aren't leaders/officers already a thing? I thought they were.

Officers are specific units in 2005 Rules which are used for squad based battles. Officers have "the leadership" speciality

Leader units and officers will probably differ in terms of specialities. I do not know what stubby has in mind about the leader units. We will see what they will become in the new rulebook. There are many good ideas about the leader units in this discussion topic: http://brikwars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10665
