Why I love Hordes of the Things. Reason 5


The Elements


One feature of HotT is the elements. The large variety of different troops available, allow for the creation of many different troop types. From traditional DBA/Ancients troop types like Knights, Blades and Warband, to fantasy based such as Lurkers, (hiding troops or creatures that ambush in difficult terrain), Sneakers, (think hobbits trying to destroy a magic ring), and dragons. There are even characters such as Magicians, Clerics and Paladins.

Perhaps my only complaint is the generic nature of the characters. It would be nice if there were more chrome with different types of magic users. One immediate change would be to have a Necromancer who cannot cast the typical spell, but could resurrect Hordes within 2 inches of the figure instead of on the board base or stronghold.
