This week has seen an unintended focus on HotT (Hordes of the Things) games. The first two games were standard 24 point game against Murray, fielding his new Rat army, his first HotT army. Murray is already finding that HotT armies are little like Border Collies (we have two) which are like potato chips ... ...
.. he already has several more armies in the planning and construction stages.
Anyway, out first game saw his rats opposed by my Lost Worlds army.

| Rat Blades |
 |
| The Rat Stronghold, not yet based |
 |
| Horde, behemoth, and riders |
 |
| A close up of the riders, on spiders |
 |
| Lost Worlds beasts, behemoth, and warband |
 |
| Rat artillery. The Lost Worlds God (a giant ape, of course) had arrived in the background |
 |
| Action heating up, the rats were trying to envelop on both flanks |
 |
| Warband opposing the behemoth |
 |
| The LW beasts and God cooperate in 'squishing' some rats, while some rat blades try to gang up on the T-Rex behemoth |
 |
| The LW magician joins with a warband in assaulting the rat behemoth |
 |
| It's very .. um... squishy... in there |
 |
| The rat behemoth is dead |
The Rats were held back by the mysteries of the Lost Worlds
In the second game the Rats were attacked by a piratical horde
 |
| Pirate heroes (Sirens), behemoth, and warband |
 |
| Hero, blade, and warband |
 |
| Pirate stronghold |
 |
| The rats try to take the pirates in the flank.. they're a tricky lot, these rodents |
 |
| The sirens attack rat riders, supported by their behemoth |
I missed a full set of photos, but the pirates were victorious, partly because throughout the evening Murray had some of the worst die rolling luck I have seen in a while. However, it's a game of dice eh and all good fun. It was wonderful to see Murray's first HotT army on the table.. his plans for what comes next are exciting.
Good to see new gamers joining in the fun. Thanks for the reports 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
