I'm thinking about running a monster Pc only campaign, with all the characters being of the same race and tribe, basically the "angry young thugs" of the tribe being sent off on the bidecadal invasion of the lowlands.

My plan is to have a group with primarily combat classes running them through joining the horde and then participating in the invasion. with plenty of variation dependant on their actions and choices, how other monsters treat them, where they go, how well the invasion does, etc... then having them run for home after the eventual defeat of the "greenskins" or whatever. Then have significantly higher level versions of themselve try to defend their home territories and improve their living conditions with the loot and deal with the ensueing reprisals.

Has anyone else run this kind of story arc? Does anyone have advice, anicdotes or warnigs?
