I like this idea by yourself

EG:
Kingdom Name: Angles
Kingdom Inspiration: English
What do the conscripts look like? Gasmasks and Berets - officer with a cup of tea is essential.
What do the guards look like? Knightly, powered armour based around the hundred years war.
What is their unique unit? A rover for the land, light vehicle carrying a light slug gun OR transporting one stand.
+1 for these dudes

What about
Kingdom name : varangia
Kingdom inspiration : Russia
Conscripts look like : greatcoats and bolt action rifles
Guard look like : elaborate greatcoats + armour, large bearskin hats
Unique unit : tesla coils
Vikings are always cool
There's a big risk for such a theme to get silly though. Sifi vikings
But GW made it work somehow, look at Space wolfs. They're cool
A kingdom that's close combat oriented anyways.
Kingdom name : Was actually going to suggest Varangian Kingdom but is sort of spoken for by kyussinchains
Norse? Norden? Anyhow these dudes comes from a cold and rather barren planet.
Kingdom inspiration : Norse culture + berserker mythology.
Conscripts look like : Light on armour, medieval/viking looking clothes. Hair with braids, Think teutogen guard/SW hair and beard styles. Preferably some close combat weapons on their backs like axes in addition to the rifles. Or rifle in one hand and axe in the other. Vikings were said to be rather big/tall. I'd make them slightly longer like 7mm or perhaps 6.5 if that's to much.
Guard look like :Axes, round (power)shields, pelts over their armor, preferably wolf. Still needs to look Sifi of course, might be hard to get right. (Just please no winged helmets
)
Unique unit : Scouts with wolfs. Bersker looking dudes + wolves. (to nerdy?).
