Peter Pan
Army Lists for ‘Hordes of the Things’
By Alan Saunders
My children have recently become obsessed with Disney's 'Peter Pan'. The only way to stay sane under such an onslaught was to consider the HOTT potential.
The Lost Boys
Stronghold: Hideout in hollow tree

Aerial Hero General (Peter Pan and Wendy) @ 6AP |

Flier (Tinkerbell) @ 2AP |

Water Lurker (Mermaids) @ 1AP |

Warband (John, Michael and other Lost Boys) @ 2AP |

At the end of the film they capture Hook's ship and Tinkerbell enchants it so that it can fly: Airboat @ 3AP.

This gives you a nice three-sided campaign set in
These lists are based on the film. An examination of the book, however, doesn't require too many changes to the lists, although it gives Hook a crew of just seventeen, which is going to stretch the army a little. The Lost Boys fare even worse; there are only six of them, although there is, at least, an implication that there are sometimes more (Pan is described as 'culling' them from time to time, which is a little disturbing).
Although they don't put in much of an
appearance, there is a fourth force in Neverland; the Beasts. A pretty simple
army list - twelve beasts. Easy. Funnily enough the crocodile would make a good
general for this army, although it would lose its water lurker status in the
Pan's force. The rest of the beasts are, as far as I can remember, such things
as bears, wolves and so forth.
