After voting off the Ogres, I suggest locking the thing as all of the others are equally blatant cultural references!

Check Osprey's Book(s) on the Landsknecht, or Foundry's Renaissance line. Identical dress, weapons and imagery to GW's "Empire" figs. ECW is a bit more advanced, Shot-and-Pike, different dress

I honestly don't see much of a connection. It's too hodgepodge to make it either.

That's a mix of two different cultures. Thus it is neither. Why should empire get two when everything has one? And if it has two my hodgepodge point still stands: the blatant reference is not there.

I have a fair degree of confidence the catholic church does NOT have an army of power armored warrior nuns.
And I don't care what Wikipedia says.

With the galaxy as large as it is the odds of the average guardsmen seeing and fighting a marine or MEQ are relatively slim. Unfortunately the guardsmen in your (and anyone else who plays IG's) army are the REALLY, REALLY LUCKY ones that fight marines ALL the time... |

Agree with Nyarlatothep. Doesn't matter if they're non-human, as the culture's clearly ancient Mesoamerican. It's too late though. Lizardmen are done.
