Thanks
I'll have another look at the Horde faction. I am liking several of the unit options for The Wild, the swarm (using a mix of spiders, centipedes and rats) the Hunter, and the Shapeshifters (thinking of small fire elementals erupting from the Salamanders!). But a lot of the battle board is very much around shooting, which I don't have a lot for, I might add some hobbits as a unit of shooters, but not entirely sure. I quite liked the idea of creating a titan from an area of terrain - but its slow speed, means this needs a huge number of dice to work, and you take a lot of fatigue into the melee.
The horde board adds some interesting abilities - more speed on charges will be good! But the various special units don't fit very well with my figures.
