Awhile back, I suggested that it would be nice if all the local Hordes of the Things gamers would list their armies and generals, and provide names for their homelands as well. Not for a by-the-book campaign, but just to provide a little more background for when two players have a quick round of HotT.
I got quite the roll of forces, along with names of generals and countries, which are reproduced below. And local gamer Holdfast took this campaign seed a step further, providing the map above, so we can figure out where our armies lie in relation to one another. I call this land ... Hottlandia.

As you can see, there are a lot of repurposed Citadel armies on this roster, as well as recycled historical figures, prepainted minis, and converted toys. Not only does Hordes of the Things spark creativity, it lets you keep using old armies that were originally intended for other rules.
Now, I'm off to conquer Hottlandia!
Awesome work. I love the idea and setting.
ReplyDeletePlease add Norde and Skaldi's Army
Water and ice creatures somewhere in the far north of Hottlandia.
I have vast hordes of unused 25/28s
ReplyDeletethat have been gathering dust for about a decade...this has me thinking,this and seeing some of
the re-purposed armies during
your con....)
Guess I'll have to learn the rules..)
HoTT is perfect for re-purposed armies. Glue those puppies to an appropriate sized base and you are ready for battle!
ReplyDeleteSomething in the map doesn't look right to me. Ah! I remember now, I have a newer version that includes forests. Will send it to you via email.
