Me-Burq-Sa is the singular reason that Romans are better than Greeks.

OM management will be tricky with that army, not to mention positioning and board control,

See I can understand board control, but I don't think OM management would be to bad. I usually play my armies in waves. I'd imagine using TA and KA as cleanup, keeping them in the start Zone for quite awhile. So at first the only cards trading OMs would be the 10th and SB(getting to move Marcus on their turn). Then once SB is wilted down, call in the reserve. But I can see the need to waste an order marker on Marcus to keep up with the 10th if I need to move them to be in range. But you could avoid that by just chasing them down with the mop up crew instead.
However, your board control point makes alot of sense. Especially armies which are heavy on flying could easily beat this to high ground, which would greatly low the effectiveness of my range.

Similar to a previously posted army but for 500 points I was thinking
SBx2 100
10th x2 150
Marcus 100
Parm 90
Red Wyrm x2 60
Range and melee, I like 2 wyrm or the bonding option. SB has 2 bonding options and the 10th can benfit from Marcus +1 attack.

The other day me and my son tried Roman x4, Marcus and Ne-Gok-Sa vs Greeksx4 Valguard and Parm. The Greeks with Valguard were able to mess up the Romans and the Greeks won.

Parmenio is useless with all disciplined. I'd drop him and the Wyrms for 2 more squads of Redcoats.

This book really needs to be updated. Not only is it missing more recent Disciplined VC units like the Honor Guard and Chen Tang, but the Red Wrymling and Tandros Kreel too (both of which came out more than a decade ago at this point).

Got the Classic Units Updated.

Do you have a list of the other VC Disciplined Units beside those 2?

According to Heroscape.org, these are the VC units with a disciplined personality:

8th Infantry Pathfinder
Arashara Goshiri
B-11 Resistance Corps
Chen Tang
Gen. Simon Fraser
Honor Guard of the Blasted Lands
Hoplitron
Kantono Daishi
Microcorp Troopers
Tomoe Gozen
Yi Feng
Zhen Yuan

Also it looks like the classic list is meant to be in alphabetical order (you've got Tandros and the Red Wyrmling listed after Zelrig).
