| ==Game Summary==
| | #REDIRECT [[WARMACHINE]] |
| '''''Hordes''''' is a games produced by [[Privateer Press]]. It is a tabletop miniatures combat game set in the [[Iron Kingdoms]]. Hordes shares this universe with ''[[Warmachine]]'', but plays slightly differently. Where ''Warmachine'' is more of a resource management game, Hordes is more of a risk management game. The game plays with a warlock as the leader of your army, with supporting monsters (called warbeasts) and infantry. A warbeast may be forced to do special attacks or do more damage during its turn, but doing so builds up fury which the warcasters can remove and use to cast spells.

| ==Factions==
| |
| ''Hordes'' has four playable factions: Trollbloods, Circle Orboros, Legion of Everblight and The Skorne.
| |
| | |
| ===Trollbloods===
| |
| The Trollbloods are a race of half-trolls that use various species of full-blooded trolls for their warbeasts. The army focuses on very durable models who have the ability to regenerate some of the wounds they have suffered. Every Trollblood army has the same tactic at its core: advance. Advance some more. Kick the shit out of whatever's in range. Repeat.
| |
| | |
| ===Circle Orboros===
| |
| The Circle are a group of very powerful druids who are trying to keep their god from destroying the world. The druids use werewolves and wooden constructs for their warbeasts, and focuses on strong casting. Circle armies are also freakishly fast.
| |
| The Circle tends to focus on terrain manipulation, as almost all of its units can move across rough terrain without penalty. Aside from the relatively slow, durable constructs, Circle units tend to be quite fragile, and typically have limited hitting power.
| |
| | |
| ===Legion of Everblight===
| |
| The Legion of Everblight are an army of dragonspawn controlled by the great dragon Everblight. The army has very powerful warbeasts, which are all different forms of dragonspawn. It also fields units of corrupted Nyss elves from the north. The Legion excels at sudden precision strikes, but is not especially defensive.
| |
| | |
| ===The Skorne===
| |
| The Skorne are a race of beings who have evolved in the harsh deserts of the east and now seek to conquer the rest of the world. They use 6-armed elephant-like creatures, basilisks and cyclopes for their warbeasts. The Skorne focus on very highly armored infantry and high damaging warbeasts.
