Fishmen are cool - my oldest son's first HoTT army was a Fishmen army and his stronghold was Joe's Crab Shack.  I think we still have that army in the barn somewhere, I think he was around 8 or 9 when he painted it.  He's 19 now.

I always wish I could get HoTT, I just never did - not fully; which is kinda weird, because I really like a couple of the spin offs. Heck, I even wrote one of them myself. But somehow, the thing never fully stuck with me. I might give it another go one day and see if my old brain takes to it better the second time around. I loved its simplicity, and it`s as old school as you can get. I SHOULD love it shouldn`t I 

hehe, I adore that name "Joe`s Crab Shack"     he sounds like a cool kid

Yep he  "WAS" a cool kid until he turned 14 and I could never beat him again in HoTT or DBA  arghhhh     He keeps winning our state champions in HotT and DBA.

So I decided to write a HoTT/DBAish  WW1 rules set so I think I can beat him since he doesnt have a clue about WW1 

But I do sneak in a win every now and then but they are few and very far between.

OMG  you wrote a set of HoTT rules for WW1    Thats so very cool Blaker. My next to do `one day is WW1: especially now I can do it in 10mm. I must say the pics I keep seeing drive me more and more towards wanting to give it a shot. I always wanted to recreate the Passchendaele campaign (thanks to Upstairs Downstairs, which really got me into it). wow, maybe I`ll get to use HoTT yet after all.

His Fishmen army for HoTT was the following:

Crab Riders were Riders
Lobster Chariot were Knights
Fish with Tridents were Spears
Fish with Harpoons were Shooter
Fish with Nets were Lurkers (for dry terrain)
Octopus & Dolphins were water Lurker (for rivers)
Giant Lobsters were Behemoths
Giant Crabs were Beast
And Fish with Cannon were Artillery
Nepture at first was a God but he didnt stay on table long enough and we liked the figure so he became a Hero or Paladin(?)

If I can find the box that has them I could take some pictures but then I would have to figure out how to post them to the forum

I'd definitely like to see the invertebrates if nothing else - must be the ecologist in me; always had a soft spot for giant creepy-crawlies

But who's the cod one out?

I don't think we're being very kelpful, musseling in on a Fantasy thread like this...

Thats right Leon, you need to - clam - down on these - urchins - that are just sitting on their - perch - all day waiting to find the right - angler - to hop on to this thread like an anemone 

Now that was a bit of a stretch 

I`m sorry to carp on about it, but I really like the idea of a fishman army.

Cod! We've haddock enough of these jokes! They've have their plaice, but the whitings on the wall!
