Hearken ye all!
Here's a question I've been mulling over. Some recent threads here about pygmies and hobgoblins has further fuelled this thought of mine too, the question of: Which armies/factions/ranges/particular model seem generally poorly catered for, in the grand scheme of things?
This could be an insanely broad debate. On one flank two people are discussing whether bow-armed hobgoblin wolf rider musicians are rarer than bow-armed hobgoblin wolf rider champions. This may be totally true. Oblivious to this someone else says there are "many dwarves" but "few pygmies". That may also be true but the topic wouldn't be discussed at the same level.
To avoid this I decided to approach it top-down and list broad factions or types. If people are interested in delving into this there is no reason there can't be more specific spin-offs. Another limitation I put on this question was to frame The Fantasy segment and leave out Sci-Fi and other areas.
What I hope to get out of this are people's SUBJECTIVE views. We all know that there are many more options for Empire than Slann out there but that's more of an OBJECTIVE observation. If you know this, but still personally feel like the Empire faction is missing something, then vote for that! If you don't care about Slann but would like to see some female greatswords some day this is where you should cast your vote. Whether you wish for Halfling arquebusiers or Undead steeds you should be able to pick a faction regardless of your motivation. If your faction isn't on the list add them in the thread.
You get to pick up to three options.
Will this show the reality of it or will it just reflect the vocal minorities out there? I don't know, but I don't know a better way of investigating this. Make sure you have your say and perhaps there will be more of the former!

Suffice to say I preferred the old brutes of Jes Goodwin and Nick Lund. And I would like to see a better take on their background than riding megafauna with cartoony faces and hanging out with goblins who love scrap.
