The main ants you have at your disposal are Formica rufa.

But we've taken some liberty to make the gunners and warriors easier to be differentiated (also using the lore of the book where the formica rufa are using mercenaries ant from other species to help them in their wars.)

So gunners are heavily inspired from Oecophylla smaragdina.
And warriors are heavily inspired from Pheidole megacephala.

its not actually strange for one species of ant to employ others to do their bidding. they do this even with inter colonies.

some ants will capture other ants and carry them away to their nests, enslaving them to care for their brood or perform other functions, even if they are a different species.

some will even raid a nest, kill a queen and kidnap the pupae, these pupae never are the wiser either, defending the colony and such as if it was their own.
