I think I'll try a combination of Minions, Orberos, and Skorne to see what kind of army would come of it. I'll be starting on the low power end of the spectrum and try working my way from there.
The Stygians already have some fairly sweet spells that could easily be at home in a Hordes setting as Warlock or animus spells.
Has anyone else here gone this route, and if so how did you go about it?

If your trying to home brew an entire faction I would avoid it. Scratch building units/beasts/casters is extremely hard to balance. Not to mention that you probably would have to explain everything multiple times during games.

If your just trying to use models you own, and do a count as/proxy army, just have the right cards - although you'll need to check with TO's if the would allow it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412241/3599215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412241/3599215.page GMT Home brewed or counts as Horde armies using other company's miniatures WM/H ruleset. The sheer amount of work designing, balancing, and justifying your balance to any but your closest gaming friends alone would probably burn you out of it quickly.

Proxying is much safer, just make sure that the base sizes are all the same as PP models. You probably cannot ever use this army in a regular tournament format, however.

All-in-all, PP isn't especially friendly to this hobby aspect of mini wargaming. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412241/3599528.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412241/3599528.page GMT Home brewed or counts as Horde armies using other company's miniatures It's the best idea, like you guys said, in my mind, to start out proxying stuff. Over time, I plan on power pointing some cards I could use to get my own flavor of army.
The main things I need to make sure of is not to make the army overpowering and just to slow grow it. In other words, just start it out at a warpck level and build it from there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412241/3599563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412241/3599563.page GMT
