Adding to that are Cults, the factions of Turnip28. They don't have much in the way of lore, but a lot of character baked into the rules. They are rated by ease of use in the rulebook. I picked Slug's Lament, a rooty parody of Napoleon. It gave a free unit of Grogs, an improved-type of basic Brutes. However, they and my general stayed off the table till turn 3. So I had a free unit, but in return, I was asked to make-do with lack of command initiative for most of the game. Trade-offs!
