I Love This Game . . .
This page is devoted to all things HOTTs in my hobby. Right now, HOTTs is the set of miniatures rules that I prefer to play. It is a fast, furious, and fun set of rules. Two somewhat experienced players can get a game done in an hour - including all the side talk, snack-crunching, drink-spilling, and other gamer-related activities. IOW, it's about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

Click on the cover illustration above to go to Richard Bodley Scott's Hordes of the Things Web site. There, you can see the latest revision of the Battle Rules and the Campaign rules by the author.

And So I Make Changes . . .
Even though HOTTs is a wonderful and fun game, I really can not leave any game system alone. So, a few modifications.

  • HOTTs Linear Campaign - A very quick campaign for two players.

  • New & Revised HOTTs Troop Types - My attempt to add the missing light troops to HOTTs.

  • Revised HOTTs Charts - Playing aids for use with the latest revision of HOTTs.

  • Aerials, BUAs, and Woods in HOTTs - Aerials can not end their movement in villages or woods. What's with that? These rules change that.

  • Enhanced Lurkers in HOTTs - Some races or ethnic groups are good at hiding or ambushing. These rules reflect that ability.

  • On the hard drive - and moving fast (well, considering my usual snail's pace on projects) - is my version of the HOTTs Big Battles. My goal is to integrate the elements found in DBA2 into HOTTs and create a set of big battle rules for those that want more elements on the board combined with ease of play.

HOTTs Armies
Most HOTTs players like to show you pictures of their armies, give you a basic organization, and so on. Well, I'm a HOTTs player - and veeeery eclectic in my interests. Click here for my HOTTs Armies

HOTTs Links
Here are the best HOTTs-related sites that I could find. Enjoy!

Richard Bodley Scott's HOTTs Page. RBS is one of the authors of the original rules and is in the process of revising the rules. Just follow the Hordes of the Things links.
The Stronghold. A great Web page started and maintained by The Alan Saunders. I believe that this is the original HOTTs-related Web site.
Thomo's Hole. This is the home of the (in)famous Thomo the Lost, my Aussie mate who is currently living in Perfidious Albion or flying all around the world.
Jon Mollison's site. The Jon Monster has pictures of his figures and some scenarios.
The Behemoth. This is Colin Hagreen's HOTT site. It also serves as a chat forum for HOTT-entots.
The Lair. Bill Bennett's HOTTs site and the best player in Iowa.
Chow Li's House of Goblin Fun. My gaming buddy, Charlie Bennett, is the second best player in Minnesota. Modesty prevents me from naming the best. He and I have played many games and had a lot of fun.
Owen Cooper's site has a number of historical and fantasy lists, including some for Warhamster 40K Epic.
