For large-scale (ie., non-skirmish) fantasy battles, I much prefer
Chipco's 
"Fantasy Rules! 2" to HotT. Handles battles from DBA/HotT size (up to
half 
a dozen or so units per side) all the way up to large DBM/DBF-sized
battles 
with 80+ units, and FR!2's way of handling heroic characters and magic
is 
*much* better than HotT's.

As for "De Bellis Fantasticus/Here There Be Dragons" (Keep's fantasy
add-on 
module for DBM), well... I haven't read the updated edition, but unless
it 
gets numerous positively glowing reviews from people who own the first 
edition I'm not going to buy it
:-/
