Shadow Divisions were very much works in progress going into and during the Jihad, so I decided to split the 53rd of six Level IIIs into 2 divisions with three IIIs apiece. Whilst this is just administrative (obviously we mix and match units on the table top), it gives me a way to turn a single unit into two, and it's still fun. Because of this, I also dropped the Level II of Aerospace Fighters in each Level III; since we don't really use them, I'm just working on the "the ASFs are in the three Level IIIs to be built later" mindset. For in-universe purposes. Ex-tech mixes freely with standard WoBM and SL-tech machines. My Greek designations are probably now all screwed to fuck as well, but that's alright.
>>>>As the 5th Succession War grinds on, the Word refocuses on its original purpose of bringing enlightenment to the masses of the Blakist Republic and beyond. Poltergeist Precentor Omicron Morrigan returns from her mission on *REDACTED* to lead her newly formed division. Pulling in elite IIs from across the Republic, and utilizing not only bleeding edge experimental technology, but also the innovations of defeated foes, the Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of the Witches) is a roving trouble-shooter, shoring up defenses or leading planetary assaults as need be.<<<<
>>>>Specter Precentor Sigma Nemain has been a member of the Word almost as long as it has existed. Formerly Word of Blake Militia, ROM easily vetted her for upper echelon command, but it was her willingness to throw herself into the line of fire for the vision of The Master that earned her a Shadow Division. Her Necromancers specialize in exfiltration and headhunter tasks.<<<<
Again, using placeholder names and specific models of 'Mechs for noteworthy WoB MechWarriors. And there are multiple schemes, for one unified force, because the black and white of the Light of Mankind got old a little bit. But I still prefer it to every other color. As a nod to "parent formations" and the like of the noteworthy MechWarriors or IIs, I did go back and add some accent colors, here and there. The Opacus half of the OV received a pinkish-purple color that I didn't think I'd use for anything, ever. The late Jihad-canon 53rd had dark green highlights, and the 54th had a metallic blue.
