HotT Game Days, Nov-Jan, 2009-10
Well, my first post and I thought I'd finally get something posted about our Hordes of the Things Game Days here in San Antonio. I have been supporting the game by scheduling a HotT game day once a month for 2 months, then having a tournament the third month. That schedule gives us a tournament once a quarter, with two months in between to build new armies, terrain and strongholds and also to have practice games. We started in November 2009 with our first Game Day, followed up in December with another, then January we had our first tournament (big tournament wrapup to follow!).
At the moment, we are concentrating on 25mm/28mm minis for what we like to call our ":HotT-Hammer" series. Essentially, it's just an effort to put together our mounds of unused GW Warhammer minis into functioning HotT armies. Blake has several Empire armies, I have a couple Elf armies, Cameron has an Orc army, and Mack had an Undead army. Since we started our monthly meetings, Blake has built his Goblin army, Mack has added a Spider army, I have built a Scorpions of Dirz army and Johnnie really put some old minis to use. He brought a ton of painted Romans he had in his closet for 20-some-odd years and put them to use as his first HotT army. He had so many he's got about 72AP worth - enough for a Big Battle HotT army.
I have some photos I'm gonna try to add to this post so it might take me a couple tries to get it right. We just had our February Game Day (post to follow), and are looking forward to our March Game Day then our tournament in April, as well as a HotT event at Chimaeracon (www.chimaeracon.com). Upcoming schedule:
March Game Day: March 13, Dragons Lair - San Antonio
Chimaeracon HotT Event: April 9-11 (time TBA)
April Tournament: date TBA
My Scorpion Army, using prepainted Rackham Confrontation minis.
Mack's Spider army. He's got 6AP more hiding somewhere...
Mack's Undead Army using some really old Citadel Undead minis. You can just make out the Skull Chucka to the left.
Drop me a word!

Thanks for posting these pics, Chip! FYI on the spider army, there's only another 3AP hiding somewhere--my trio of lurkers (which are the only elements in this army that actually seem to do any good).
