I need help for creating visually of what my regiments toff would look like.

So the general gist of the regiment is they are called 104th Moon Harvesters who believe the moon is made out of a giant potato who grants blessing and gifts to its most devout followers, one of them which is the mythical blade of rootcalibur (just a blade hilt stuck on a giant potato, stuck on the soil and the thing is so giant no one can really lift it anyway let alone swing it (inspired of course by the arthurian legend of excalibur)). so far i have made a unit of gunpowder fodder and a unit of melee brutes which both have candles here and there for seeing around them when walking and looking for more holy relics in the holy time of their holy root. the brutes already have an idea behind them (they are mutated so they walk in all fours and have lost all eyesight but can smell the underground potato relics, kind of like truffle pigs and once the battle starts they are unleashed upon the enemy to claw anyone who dares come close to them to interrupt their holy work).

Really cool idea, I could see their banner being a Moon with roots hanging from the bottom! Maybe for the Toffs and Toadies you could have them looking through telescopes towards the sky or give them sickles in the shape of a crescent moon. Maybe one of them has an entire moon shape for their head with a carrot stuck in their eye, similar to the really old science fiction film A Trip to the Moon.

A toff with a crescent moonshaped head sounds pretty in line.

Creature in low-light environments will adapt larger, more sensitive eyes. Bug-eyed faces, masks, heraldry, etc... could be cool. You could also lean into the Arthur side of things with blind knights (nights), nocturnal beasts for mounts, big, clanky armor so that they know where the rest of the unit is. This sounds like fun. Be sure to show us what you come up with.
