HORDES is a skirmish tabletop wargame set in Privateer Press' Iron Kingdoms not far from where the story of WARMACHINE takes place. The two game systems can be played against each other as the two rulesets are mostly the same apart from one large difference - Warjacks and Warcasters interact very differently to Warbeasts and Warlocks.
HORDES offers the player a range of factions to choose from, all of which have massive beasts that are lead by magic wielding Warlocks. These beasts are large enough to tear even the ten-tonne iron Warjacks limb from limb.
This game favours the attacker as warlocks use the 'fury' of their beasts to regain power to cast their array of support and attack spells. Although centered around the warlocks and their beasts, troops are very important to support them. With numerous options of troops, solos and beasts - finding combinations that work well together is a large part of the fun.
