Despite my friend's years ago that I knew something about every game, there's still plenty of games I never even knew existed . Hordes of the Things (HotT) was one of those games. Released by WRG in the 90s as a fantasy version of DBA, it holds a solid following due to the simple rules and accommodating army construction.
Each army derives their forces from a wide variety of troop types. From mobs to knights, archers (shooters) to swordsmen, even flying units and unpredictable gods can make an appearance. The campaign rules work so well that people use them for historical games. And that's the biggest draw for many, you can have your 15 or 25mm Picts, Romans, and Persians fight against Elves, Dwarves, and ... err... anything you can imagine.
Ah, the rampaging hordes of My Little Ponies vs. Victorian Sci-Fi vs Vikings (the Viking's "god" was represented by a Thor action figure. Those kiwis know how to have a good time.
Wargaming New Zealand
If that doesn't work, let's try Imperial and Rebels forces.
And for those observant enough, those snow speeders raced behind the lines and would destroy AT-AT.
Bob's Miniature Wargaming for more in this.
Finally, I present a steady dwarf army vs a all-girl army of awesomeness. I think the combined ages of the combatants wouldn't let you buy tobacco products.
