Council/5th Column could be done pretty easily. PPD/RIP, too. Longbow... Warriors... maybe Legacy Chain... Cabal, Cage Consortium Guards, Cimerorans, Family, Knives of Artemis, Loyalists, Malta possibly, Mooks, Nemesis Automatons, Scrapyarders, Skulls, Tsoo without robes, maybe Wyvern...

Outcasts, easily. I made a faction of "Outcast Elite" that go 1-54. They're easy to turn into total murder machines too, since the elemental power sets have a number of hideous side effects.
Longbow are pretty easy to swing in appearance; the spandex is straightforward and things like Spec Ops tactical bandoliers are available. All you'd miss are the chest emblems and, sadly, the weapons (since most of them carry some subset of Assault Rifle or Devices but not the entire set).
About the only factions you can't make a reasonable approximation for are ones with decidedly nonhuman appearances, or robes. COT are out, so are wolves and some robot types and so on.

Longbow is very easy. My arc (coming tonight after one last round of testing hopefully) is about a custom class of Longbows 
You can get to a semi-adequate facsimile of the Sky Raiders if you don't look too close. Or at least something that looks like it's from the game general style or an offshoot.

I did a 1-54 Outcast arc, and yeah, the elemental powersets are rather harsh. My brute got overwhelmed by 3 groups when all the lt's started exchanging buffs and piling on debuffs. nasty.
119088 - Outcasts Overcharged. Heroic.
I would like to alter the appearances and powers of existing (standard) enemy groups. I realize this isn't possible with the critter creator, but which enemy groups' appearances do you think it would be possible to mimic using the critter creator (i.e. make a custom critter that looks like an existing COX enemy group)?
My plan is to make critters that look like existing groups but with slight appearance or power differences.
