Trollbloods
The Trollbloods are cool scottish/celtic/irish troll people who for once are the best people in their entire settings. While trolls are often cast as child eating monsters in other games (see warhammer fantasy) here these poor creatures have been kicked and abused through their race's history by mankind (who even so are not the biggest dicks in the Warmachine setting).
Because of this many see the Trollbloods as the heroic faction in the setting, which sounds about right as they are not trying to invade or enslave anyone, they are fighting for their very existence at the moment.
Trollbloods come in a range of excellent troll-y flavours, from man sized trollbloods closest to humans, most intelligent and with some regeneration powers, to larger and less intelligent cousins who have a wide variety of interesting abilities (pyre trolls for example as living furnaces capable of flinging burning globs at enemies).
They work well as a faction and played right using their natural regeneration powers they have some staying power.
