With some of the latest talks out about the scorpians (edit>>shadow knights) and how cool they are, I've been wondering what everyone's favorite bad-guy faction is? This poll will only include the obvious bad-guys, so if you always had my beloved Crusaders as sick, smiling war-mongers, tough luck!
I always considered the Black Falcons to be Bad Guys, and the Forestmen were sometimes bad guys to my Crusaders as well, but actually I think they may be a nuetral faction, so I've left them both out as well...

I don't have a "bad" faction. Just different sides with different opinions. If you could say one was bad over the other it would actually be my Royal knights as they are the most controlling and oppressive. Weird huh?
There is someone who is always worse off than you . . . consider my peasants for example.
I voted for custom. Even though I use various factions for "baddies" in my LotR tales (Fright Knights are my orcs, Bulls are my Easterlings, Red ninja torsos for my Haradrim), I think the baddest-looking are my (not very original, I admit) Nazgul, who are simply Darth Mauls with the head turned backwards so it's just a black head under the hood:
I voted for the wolfpack. They seem to be a thieving band of men who are just menaces during times when other factions are at war (ottoatm, whats this talk about the scorpians, where can it be found?).
There is no bad faction really. Maybe the leader of one or the other faction is an butthole sometimes or even evil, but his men are usually just troopers who are bound to their oath of fealty.

This is just the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put. Winston Churchill
I always felt that the only real "evil" faction was the Dragon Masters lead by the evil Majisto. Besides them, there were outlaws sure but no real evil bad guys.
I'm even thinking of phasing the Dragon Masters out of my kingdom... it has gotten to the point where I only really care about the Black Falcons, the Black Knights, the Lion Knights, the Forestmen, and the Wolfpack. I'm not sure what to do with all of my Dragon Master's and Royal Knight's.... I don't want to sell them but I am really not sure how to use them either.

I make my own "baddies". For the Ancients Theme, I have a subfaction of the Kahilawayans play bad guys. But they have "servant civilizations" fight for them as well.

Hi Aviah102... I probally mispoke a bit... sometimes I say scorpians when I mean shadow knights/vladek knights... it's what I call them in my own little lego world here in ny - but yep... scorpians just means shadow knights... sorry for the confusion ~
As for Jojo's post... yea... even though my faction is not in the best position attacking that black falcon fortress... that is an amazing battle he has there. I never get sick of that one

Well, of the factions listed, my favourites are the Black Knights, but since I see them as good guys, I could hardly choose them.
So I went with the Dragon Masters, who are my favourite bad guys, as bad guys. Now, I think of the Fright Knights and Shadow Knights as more evil, and in many ways the Wolfpack are more cool, and the Bulls... are the Bulls (and those are the extent of the "bad" factions in my books, but the Dragon Masters are my favourites, as bad guys.
