Magical units fine, especially if they have an obvious value in a siege. What I don't want to do is give the impression that the named units reflect the mix of troops Tatius uses - that'd be too great an emphasis on heavy cavalry and elite infantry. Even if Tatius has his choice of the Lunar army he's going to take a lot of peltasts, irregulars and other light infantry because the function better for surrounding WW and even in an assault.
