I agree with Llew. I wanted a Nippon/Samurai list based on Japanese myth very much, but then Legend of the Five Rings came out and now Wargames Factory looks to be developing some very nice samurai. Mantic needs to do humans they can copyright I think, even if people make similar minis after the success of the line.

I was surprised to find out  that Tolkien said that Rohan had no historical counterpart. Peter Jackson's vision of Rohan was superb too. Something unique but with bits of the familiar, would be awesome:)

It would be an awesome use of the Fanatic's brain power to work on some suggested human cultures with bits of art and background to donate to Mantic. I know you all can come up with awesome and original peoples!
