[Iron Kingdoms/Hordes] Blighted Template? Other d20 Hordes critter stats?

[Calithena]

Hi all -

I don't think I'm going to get into Hordes, but I'm very attracted to some of the minis and would like to use them in my D&D 3 and Battlelore games, particularly the Everblight and Skorne models. Are there any sources for d20 stats for the various critters, etc. we see there? I'd especially be interested if there's a 'blighted' template you can pop on top of the Nyss and Ogrun (hope I'm remembering those names right) in the Everblight faction.

Privateer Press are slowly releasing the D20 stats to those beasties in thei No Quarter magazine. I haven't seen any compilation of those stats so far. You might want to inquire on the PP boards.

The Monsternomicon has a bunch of "quickplates" and templates in it for all manner of nastiness. I believe that the Dragonblight is in there as well as dragonspawn rules and a host of other really cool monsters.

I plan on using it in my Ptolus game as well.

Lots of the existing miniatures have been given stats in Monsternomicon #1 and #2.

Hey, thanks guys! I think I may have been sold on the Monsternomicon, but one question: how tough are the critters in it? A lot of my PCs are already around the epic level threshold and CR 10 type monsters are probably not going to be too much challenge for them. Are the skorne titans, carniveans, etc. in the monsternomicons pretty tough/challenging? Are there good high level foes in these books?

Thanks for any further advice!

There are some in the CR 15+ range, but not too many, IIRC. What comes to mind are the Dragons, the Master of the Hunt, and some of the "giant worm" type monsters. Maybe some of the more powerful Infernals.

Monsternomicon I has 6 creatures of CR 15 or higher. Monsternomicon II has 14.

But many of the creatures in both are capable of taking class levels, so creating one of CR 15 or higher would be straightforward enough.

No, the titans and the carniveans as they appear in Hordes are not there, at least not in the first Monsternomicon (MN1). However, it shouldn't be too hard to recreate the carnivean as dragonspawn out of the MN1.

Other than that, check out No Quarter.

Cool, thanks. The blurb for Monsternomicon II says it has some of the critters from Hordes: Evolution, so are there any of the big miniature monsters there?

If not, can anyone point me to specific issues of No Quarter that have writeups for the Carnivean, Angelius, and any Skorne Titan and Cyclops models?

I already ordered Monsternomicon I, I'll probably get II as well.

The Carnivean, Titan and Cyclops are in Monsternomicon II. I'm not sure what an "Angelius" is but there's also something called a "Nephilim" in II.
