I wanted to make a list of the most iconic soldiers for each century (for European history mostly) and was wondering if /pol/ could help me out with that. That's how far I've come:
1. Roman legionary 2. ?? because i want to avoid repetition 3. Cataphract maybe? 4. Hunnic horse-archer 5. ?? Barbarians? 6. ?? 7. ?? 8. ?? 9. Vikings 10. Frankish knights 11. Crusaders 12. Knight order (repetition?) 13. Mongol horse-archer 14. Swiss halberdiers? 15. British longbowmen 16. Landsknecht 17. Polish winged hussar 18. Red coats 19. Napoleonic infantry 20. Wehrmacht soldier 21. US Marines (till now)

Ethan Reyes
Jaguars bitch. Coolest looking soldiers in the Aztec army. You needed to take 4 live captives in battle to achieve this rank. They wore heavy padded armor underneath a thick cloth suit. Used obsidian lined swords with blades so sharp they could shave with them.
Tyler Kelly
No musketeers?
Dominic Bennett
That't my fursona
Alexander Nelson
Russian Boyar regiments Bohemian battle wagons Serbian Gusars

>4. Hunnic horse-archer This should really be 5 >14. Swiss halberdiers? >15. British longbowmen Switch these two. 16. Tercios 21. USAF or one of the american special fairies are way more representative of the 21st century dude
Austin Robinson
this picture confuses me. I thought the Swedes ended up as bodyguards to the Byzantine emperors. did they fight the Byzantines before/after this happened?
This is before the Rurikid dynasty was slavicized, pre-Sviatoslav era.
Liam Green
Varangian guard? Naked warriors from Gaul? Scottish highlanders Gibson-style? Tall Prussian grenadiers? Conquistadors? Rbonze age chariot archers?
Dominic Watson
There are both experts at PR and not much else.
Post world war it would be best to put 'revelutionaries' as with the odd exception they are who people have been fighting most. Good luck trying to find a single image for that.
