imo, it may have athletics aura, which will equal all people's athletics to the same level (something between 6-8) in its radius. this will be useful to create marching formations like columns etc.
Models?
And to my mind all this stuff with like magical effect doesn`t belong in a game like this.
Like I said I don't have models, however, I could make them if it'd be worth me doing so. As for magical, it's not really magical, it's more morale based. I mean, how else do you justify getting +1 shield skill from nearby shielders if not by magic? Since that mechanic is already in the game, I don't see why this proposed one should be different.

Overall I agree that bonuses don't belong in a game like this - but isn't there already that +shield skill thing that people get when close to other shielders?
isnt there a mechanic in the game that gives + shield skill for being around other shielders or something?
