I'm asking g because I don't want to do something that grinds against the intended theme. I was originally thinking of something in the style of wfb empire.pire troops/ RL Swiss mercenaries. But that is more firmly medieval style and not classical. If the theme is classical I'll think of something else.

I'd say then that classical is more in line with what I had imagined. Ranks of heavy infantry arrayed into Macedonian style phalanxes or perhaps Roman-esque legionaries holding a shield wall throwing javelins before beginning their slow push into the enemy ranks cutting down everything in their path. This is what I had envisioned, of course with a more fantastical element in play.
