Ral Partha Europe has saved the Demonworld line. 5 years after the collapse of the company that produced the splendid line of 15mm fantasy miniatures, those will now once again be widely available. We have based quite some HOTT armies on this line (http://www.athens-fantasy.gr/tag/demonworld/) and Ral Partha has promised to produce smaller packs this time, which will make it much easier to build those varied 24AP armies!

Here is a short write up of a Hordes of the Things game between the Elves of the Forest and the Imperial Dwarves:
Has been a long time without wargaming so last night we gathered at my place to remember the old days and play a Hordes of the Things battle.
Simple 24AP game of HOTT with 15mm miniatures and minimal terrain.
Main objective being to refresh the rules in our heads.
I got the elves of the forest, Marios got the dwarfs.

While 15mm seems to be the most popular scale for Hordes of the Things players, 10mm is an interesting scale to play Hordes of the Things. It allows you to create visually pleasing armies that capture a mass battle effect even on a basic 24AP list.
There is nowhere near the variety of 15mm fantasy miniatures but a decent set of options is available for the Hordes of the Things enthusiast:
Games Workshop’s Warmaster line of 10mm fantasy miniatures is the most varied out there. The level of detail is one of the best you can find in this scale. The ruleset is quite good as well so you might as well give the game a try. Or you go stick to the more cost effective option: using warmaster miniatures to create armies for Hordes of the Things!
