More HOTT Stuff

Over the past weekend I finished two units of Kroxigors for HOTT. These are 10mm figures from GW's Warmaster line of miniatures. I am using them as Knights in HOTT. Fast, hard-hitting, but weaker against Behemoths, Shooters, and Magicians. I only put three each on a 40mm x 30mm stand. I have three left over I can use for character stands, or other units for the army.









Now I may start working on a completely new HOTT army: Chaos Dwarves! If I can score some Eureka 10mm stuff, I will be sure to eventually show them off here.

Taste of the HOTT Stuff

As promised, here are some pics of my 10mm HOTT Lizardman army:


All 24 AP pictured above. The force consists of:

Wizard General
Blades x 3
Warbands x 3
Beasts x 2
Behemoth x 1



Above, the Wizard Genreal.



Above center, a Warband unit.



Some units of Blades.



What better Behemoth for Lizardmen?



A unit of Blades in front of my Stronghold, made from pieces of an old, Grendel resin terrain set. It's mounted on a pair of wooden bases I got at Michael's.


I'll likely add a few more pieces to swap in and out for variety. Kroxigors are coming soon!

Not Sweating the Small Stuff

A couple of buddies of mine showed up at the game shop on Sunday with some 10mm HOTT armies built with Warmaster figures. I have never been a big fan of Warmaster, but I love the miniatures. The best 10mm fantasy around, IMHO. Anyway, suitably inspired, I scoured the store's tubs of old GW blisters and came up with a nice selection of Warmaster Lizardmen.

These were priced along the old price-guides, so they were a lot cheaper than the current MSRP. I bought a load of them, including the Slann Mage Priest and the Stegadon. I've got plenty for 24 AP for HOTT, but I am looking for more if anyone is interested in a trade!

I played a lot of Chipco's Fantasy Rules! set in the late 1990's, and HOTT is a bit simpler than that. I had a big Lizardmen army for that rule set based off of Chipco's pre-packaged line of 15mm lizardmen from other manufacturers. I prefer 10mm for these sorts of games because it feels more like a "real" army because there are more guys on the base.

Started painting a few strips last night and remembered what a pleasure it is to paint this scale. I'll have some pics soon, I hope.
