==Culture==
The proud people of Attila are recruited extensively into the [[Imperial guardGuard]] where their expertise as horse men is much sought after for scouting duties. Attilan rough riders are now spread throughout the [[Imperium]].
On their homeworld these riders challenge one another for position and wealth in the hierarchy of the clan. These fights are often to the death and it is not uncommon for the loosers head to be fashioned into drinking vessel. The more powerful a clansman is, the more and more artful the heads cups he has to display. It is no surprise that the Sa-Khan and ruler of the Attilans carries the title king of the thousand heads.
The most important component of Attillan culture is the horse. The horses of Attilla are malicious, compact and resistant animals, from which their riders may, in emergency situations, draw off small quantities blood to enable their riders to operate the behind hostile lines for long periods.
