Hey guys,

We are coming to the end of the financial year for Steel Crown Productions which means a megaton of spreadsheets, accountants and prioritizing. I've got the spreadsheets and accountants covered, but would be interested to see what you guys thought were the highest priority on the Royal Empire side of things. In short, what would be your top 3 favourite factions?

We are open to suggestions for the contents of each of the new factions regarding contents, special rules and for thematic ideas :-) .

Here is a perfect opportunity to help shape the evolving EW universe and fill in some of the gaps.

I like my space viking/russians, my space knights, and my space celts, :D

I love the aesthetic of the three, and as someone with all three bloodlines in my heritage (Euro-mut american here) I like to see them fielded in all their glory.

I voted for the Caer, mostly for the power loaders! Their conscripts sound more interesting too, because of the special weapons. Unfortunately, after Legion 4 pointed out they were Scots I immediately thought of Sean Connery, and of Zardoz, and of a 6mm army of exterminators. Ugh. Cannot unsee.

The Varangians sound good too because they don’t seem so specific that I’ll think of one particular place on earth, and the Avanashi would be very cool too. I don’t know if you’re thinking Lawrence of Arabia or Sikhs, but either way it’s a look that’s under-served in 6mm (and any other scale, really) despite all of the military history coming out of those regions.

heh, I imagined the varangians being heavily russian influenced, hence the big bearskin hats, super poorly equipped conscripts and Red Alert style tesla coils....

Avanashi were a surprise for me. I thought more people would want them as Talarn proxies.

Well they are more like Indians from India or Sikhs. Tallarn would wear the more traditional Middle East head gear, the Keffiyah ...

True but my line of thought is that at 6mm kufiyat won't get distinguished enough to notice


hrrmmm...
Maybe L4 and I just are putting too much thought into our little plastic men :D

I'm surprised there's not more support for the Caer. maybe i'm biased, but i would very much like some tanith-able infantry
