"Repurposed and Rebased Arcane Legions" Topic

With the demise of the game Arcane Legions, I'm putting the figs I have together with some other toys to good use as a HotT army.

Good job--I love the flexibility of HoTT for just this reason. Find a bag of smurfs at a garage sale? Off you go to make an army!

Arcane Legions is dead? Too bad. Often companies over think the task at hand. They really should have maybe sold the figures as boxed sets, non-random box sets. Yes they had some but the more interesting stuff, not so much.

Nice looking figures. I wanted to get around to doing the same thing as you but just never did. One of the strengths off HoTT is the flexibility as Bob says.

The basic infantry and cavalry were non random. Only the elite/odd painted stuff was randomized. Anyway, I think randomization was just one of the games problems. I think if they'd gone with 28mm models, improved the quality of the sculpts and stuck with pure historical stuff (at least at first) I think they would've done better. All stuff that should've been caught at the design stage. It didn't help that they charged a subscription fee for using the unit creation tool.

It's too bad, the basic game seemed pretty worthwhile.

I can't fault their choice of scale; 1:72 isn't my cup of tea, but it's far from being an oddball scale.

Really? Now, that WAS a bad idea.

I only bought the dragons. The 1/72 was the deal killer for me.
