I am looking for an equipment-heavy, *pede-based BG that focuses on equipment boosts and bonuses, with Vindrax and Akakios for added boomstick. I haven't played the game in-depth much at all, so any and all advice would be super appreciated. If possible, I'd like to also keep my Kanen Slipped in the BG, but it is not necessary.
You could just make an SL good stuff deck with Vinny, Slipped, Akakios (maybe), Valdac, maybe Manticore and Rumblers and some Pedes + Equipment synergy. By equipment synergy i mean the Pedes, Valdci Sentry, Quarry Marks, Lasher Helms, Reforge spells, some other good equips perhaps. Valdaci Sentry, Shieldwarden and the Valdaci bird one can equip things. You'd have to look around the SL champions for others that may have Hunter: Equipped.
