I disagree with about half of his list. However, there have been many armies that fit his guidelines in their period and limiting the choices to only six ... well. Here are my 12 best (those starred are my choice limited to only 6 armies):
New Kingdom Egyptian
Classical Persia
*The (Qin) Chinese Army of Qin Shi Huang-Ti (the first Chinese Emperor)
*The Early Roman Imperial Army
The Hunnic Army of Attila
*The Mongol Horde and subsequent incarnations
The Muslim Army of Salah al-Din
*The Ottoman Army
*The French Army of the 1st Empire (Emp. Napoleon I) "Le Grande Armee"
*The German Army 1935-1942 especially "elite" SS formations
The Soviet Army of ca. 1980
The United States Army of 1990-91
