09-23-2011: The Lord of the Rings HeroClix set is introducing us to a new concept: The HORDE TOKENS.

We haven't gotten the exact rules for how it works yet, but it look's very promising.

Here's what Wizkids had to say...

Want to move a big group of horde tokens across the battlefield quickly? Stack them up, move them across the battlefield together, and then spread them out to surround their prey. Think a token is fragile, a balloon waiting to be popped? You can take down a stack of horde tokens, but you have to do it one token at a time–suddenly tokens have multiple slots! (Even if they are all the same…)

But the best part of horde tokens are horde abilities. Horde abilities are how a group of orcs are scarier than a single orc–special abilities that can scale with the size of the stack, giving extra distance to a Charge, or increasing the damage they do with an attack.

In epic battles, proportional to the battle’s build total, you can actually return some of your defeated horde tokens to the battle, calling up reinforcements! You can’t lean on that ability too hard, because if you only have horde tokens left in the battle, your force is eliminated. (See PAGE 5 For Epic Battles rules)
