They are both very good but I was thinking of something different for the Reivers. Your initial reminds me alot of the Regulan Hussars. I was thinking white and blue because of the Star of David (see Israeli flag) and the Border Reivers (see Scottish flag).

Even though the Robinson Rangers don't follow that scheme I was thinking that their forerunners might. Thoughts?

Not really seeing the Regulan Hussars connection.

I guess I can give it another shot.  I went with the Reaper and skulls as a play on words: "reiver" pretty much means "one who robs", and since it is a military unit it will be robbing you of your life.  Hence, the reaper.

I agree with Takiro.
To understand Takiro's comment, check this: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Regulan_Hussars

Since you seem to want a connection to the historical Reivers I included the Scottish flag (for the blue and white) and a horse, one of their most defining features.

I love it! Don't get me wrong the original was fantastic too but this was more appropriate in my mind.

Hmm... Maybe use it for a different unit? Tancredi Roughriders, Baranov’s Regulars, or the Sarna Shock Brigades?

It is certainly usable. The Roughriders is interesting suggestion now that you mention it if I recall Hansen's modern day insignia with the skull. Not sure though. The other two units I would say not. I still have a file for unused or future insignias from Mercenary Guild. I'm sure it will fit somewhere eventually.

By the way Sid doing a lot of work for the Draconis Militia (Shadow Regiments) and I got pretty in depth. Thanks to ScouseJedi's original idea to name each regiment for animals in Japanese it is developing pretty nicely. Don't worry not doing every single regiment. Gonna need one for each of the parent organizations though. We got four from the Succession War game and two more we need from scratch. We could also use one for the overall Draconis Militia (Shadow Regiments).

Draconis Militia (Shadow Regiment)
Ashio Militia (new, Ronin, perhaps the planetary flag in HKSB or Dieron since that is their target could be inspirational)
Samarkand Militia (Succession War game, Ronin)
Chian Militia (Succession War game, Ronin)
Matar Militia (Succession War game, Ronin)
Algedi Militia (new, Gaijin, not sure if there is a planetary flag but Vega could be another option or I have another idea ;) )
Kessel Militia (Succession War game, Gaijin)

Got an idea on the Draconis Militia (Shadow Regiments) overall insignia. This pic from the Star League Sourcebook page 58 has got a few interesting images. What really got my attention is the inverted triangle at the center of the samurais helmet with a serpent in it. Might make a fine symbol.
