Good old HoTT. Been working on a Hordes inspired game which I call HOOT Hordes of Other Things...  lol
Always prefer GW styled elves painted green - the blue always seems wrong to me especially when using them in non GW systems. The Ent Saplings need branches and foliage but that is always an issue I have with tree folk - they always seem to be blighted by Winter. Otherwise great... be good to see some villainous opponents!

So, a WIP of the Villainous oppontents  :D ... but just a small WIP. A standart which will be included in a skeleton horde element.



and a hero element figure. From D&D i guess.

The initial Elf stage of the project looks TERRIFIC...especially the Beast Element. The Living Impaired Guys are EVEN COOLER...the Banner is EXCELLENT & I I LOVE the Spook Hero. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

The second skellie model, the wraith thing is from a boardgame called 'Darkworld' which was an intended rip off of Heroquest!  :)

Rather cool stuff guys! Keep the pics coming.

Nice stuff!

Don't remember element sizes off the top of my head - but the beast figs could just as well be used as lurkers (bursting out of the ground and undergrowth in bad going). They don't look beastly fast.

Ah, thanks. Bought him as single on ebay and could find a manufacturer.  :)

Yeah, nice idea. Although (and Don't remember element sizes off the top of my head too) the beasts have a depth of 60mm and i guess lurkers have less. But i will use them in the way you told me. Thanks for nice idea  :)

Sadly I can remember the base depths of the top of my head - comes of having 36 armies for HotT I guess.  Lurkers are 40mm deep in 25mm.
