Just don't let them be wearing purple with attic crests! To be modelled correctly, they should be in contemporary legionary kit, and a Praetorian unit's principal distinguishing marks should be the use of scorpion motifs on their shields and standards, as well as stars/crescent moons.<br>
<br>
Praetorian cohorts do go back as far as Scipio, although not in a formalized sense, and you are right, they were "founded" by Augustus. As far as "exempting from duties," kind of a broad-brushed statement, the sort we love to hate from CA.<br>
<br>
I suppose "woad warriors" is a nice term for yet another group of ethnic barbarians, although if this is supposed to be some kind of elite super unit for the Celtic factions, that will be groan-worthy.<br>
