I know that romans with red tunics is considered historically incorrect but for me they look way more menacing and threatening. Nice one :-)

Jury is still out on Roman tunic colours; I think red is more likely, than most.... mixed colours is a possibility.

There's something extra satisfying about improving someone else's crumby paint job, don't you agree?

Yeah, I believe the consensus is not that red tunics are wrong, but rather red is not the only color possibly in use. Graham Sumner details the evidence in his Roman Military Clothing 1.

In the latest Ancient Warfare, they looked at the clothing colors the Successors may have worn (based on analysing sources). IIRC red was in the lead, then white but yellows blues and greens were in there. Maybe the Romans were in the same place...
