Official summary: There is a mercenary company roaming the land. An entire legion of sellswords, but they don't ask for coin, typically. No, they ask for knowledge of events, even if only in the form of rumours, they ask for raw materials, and they ask for use of facilities with which to work those materials. In that order of preference.They are armed. They are professional. They are... lizardmen?A Warhammer Fanfic written by J.Logan focusing on a band of Lizardmen who dress as humans and are perfectly willing to use gunpowder weapons while they travel around the Old World acting like mercenaries, getting into conflict with Undead, Skaven and various Chaos forces. Initially intended to be a series of one-shots, the author quickly turned the concept into a single long story that is still in-progress.Can be read at the following sites: AO3 FF.Net SpaceBattles

comment
Anachronism Stew: Subverted. The author has stated in a comment that while they were concerned about the British redcoats being too modern to include, they chose to have the Legion wear them after learning that the redcoats were first worn as uniforms in the 1500's. Played straight with the Chameleon skirmishers, who wear the uniform of the 95th Rifles. The author deemed it an acceptable pass. Also played straight with the the Efror Guard. Makes sense as they aren't Empire State Troops, they are the personal guard of a minor noble who has to fund their equipment out of pocket.

Flynning: Subverted during Solin and Sigismund's duel. They spend a period of time adjusting stances before trying to strike, andthe fight only lasts little over four seconds after.

Meaningful Name: The Outland Legion. They don't call themselves a legion because of how it sounds, they are a legion by the Tilean definition. They number at about four thousand strong.

Not So Above It All
 The Outland Legion (Fanfic) / int_96b89043
comment
Not So Above It All: The narration during Mort's introduction suggests that he is annoyed at how much the Legion has conformed to warm-blood behaviours. Then Marshal Ingwel'tonl makes a jest at his expense, and his response is to give the two-fingered salute. As mentioned above, Mort quotes A Bridge Too Far in response to an offer of surrender.

Foreshadowing: A post-humous character spoke of seeing world's ending and being replaced by armies of gold. Word of God has already said that the The End Times are the canon they're following.

Red is Heroic: The Legion wear redcoats as their uniform. Even those who don't are wearing red tunics under their outwear.

Expy: One of the very first characters of the Legion we’re introduced to is a Chameleon Skink called Sharpe. Just to drive home the point, the Chameleon Skinks are wearing green uniforms instead of red coats. One of the Chameleons under Sharpe is called Happy, and in the chapter where he was a focus character he was using an Empire Repeater Handgun. Remind you of Sergeant Harper and his Nock gun by chance?

Running Gag: They are not Lustrian, they are Madrigallian. The Legion are tired of constantly being identified as Lustrian.

comment
British Humour: It's a Saurus thing. Solin delivers a watered down version of the French Knight's taunts from Monty Python and the Holy Grail to a Chaos warrior. Later, Mort gives a modified version of the refusal to surrender from A Bridge Too Far to the same Chaos warrior.
