Sorry, not sure if this wikia supports "externally linked" images. My test was with a MediaWiki logo, which is probably on an "ok" list somewhere.

The wikia supports this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImportFreeImages

So you could look into hosting your images on flickr and using that. As for the images in the templates, you are correct that the templates look for officially-named image files. It's a form of checks and balances too. That's the problem with using those templates that are meant to be the backbone of this wiki. While it's a stretch to ask you to "render" your own unit layout, it does avoid the problems that we're talking about.
