And if I wanted a miliatristic empire it would seem more interesting to use one of the player character races to show some diversity among cultures in those races (Dwarves, in particular, are good for this kind of niche - the Charduni from the Scarred Lands setting were always pretty cool.).So if were to use them they would tend to be from some kind of otherworld or extra-planar mercenaries - I can't remember the last time I actually used them - although I have reskinned hobgoblins as human soldiers reasonably frequently.</blockquote>
