I'm thinking Lucrezia.
It's a lvl 4 caster who while she shouldn't be in combat has poison attacks. She gives someone else in the army poison attacks. She basically turns one of your hero's into a Lord level character since you can use her potion to increase a characters wounds and best of all she poisons the enemy! Think about it! On a 4+ you start the game with 1/2 points for any of the enemy Hero's you roll that 4+ against! How cool is that.

So, what's your pick?]]>

Name's Temudjin, in honor of the great Genghis Khan. I've been a Warhamemr player for 7 years and was always unable to find the perfect army that would fit my need for diversity and specialists regiments. Dogs of War always had it, but were often forbidden on the tourney scene. But now, there are some openings for them (anyways, everyone says the ravening hordes selection lacks the "oomph" of new armies) and I intend to proove everyone that we are not to be underestimate.

Second time i'm playing the money-makers... first time it was pretty well, even with everyone complaining about me playing Borgio and his abusive rules... Right now i'm trying to convince the warhammer community in Quebec/Canada (we were abandoned, anyways...) to accept the Indy Dogs of War army Book...

Hope the have entertaining conversations with a bunch of you.

Cheers! ]]>

A local tournament is using special rules, like ETC, for dogs of war. They get 2400 points and can use 6 special slots, etcetera. I made the following list, mostly based around the fact that my ultimate fantasy army would consist of humans mixed with barbarians and ogres! This would be a modelling and painting dream come true for me, and i think it COULD work reasonably well in a game... what do you guys think?

Wizard lord w/ horse, shadow magic
Wizard w/ horse, most likely fire magic
Wizard w/ horse, most likely fire magic
Paymaster w/ enchanted shield, barded horse

5 Voland's Venators
10 crossbowmen, banner, musician (they've got command because of the scenarios of the tournament i'm attending, units costing at least 100 points can hold objectives etc)
10 crossbowmen, banner, musician (100 pts)
10 duelists with pistols, musician (100 pts)

20 Norse marauders w/ great weapons, shields, mus, banner

3 Maneaters w/ heavy armour, brace of handguns, brace of handguns and great weapon (BoH for shooting, GW for smashing chariots etc)
3 Maneaters w/ heavy armour, brace of handguns, brace of handguns and great weapon

Cannon
Giant

100 models, 2397 points, 10 PD, 6 DD

All kinds of comments greatly appreciated! I would like to add a dispel scroll or two, but i preferred to spend the points on more troops. And playing dogs of war and no scrolls seems like a very fluffy and cool concept

Also, the maneaters should work very well if they stay close to the paymaster, right? (since they're stubborn and he works as a BSB...) I don't think the paymaster will be in any of the units, i'll try to keep him out of combat for most of the game...]]>

Okay, so I've spent a good portion of my Sunday assembling and converting some Bretonnion Knights and Chaos Marauder Horsemen into a reasonable and not lame looking heavy and light Calvary..I'm happy with it so far, lots of cutting and gluing (my first gluing attempts were embarrassing, its like kinder-garden again!). So a two part question.....

1) Are Calvary worth it? I've noticed a lot of army lists not using them in either form (heavy or fast) in great number. I'm already committed but what should I know as a great weakness of these guys. They are a pretty expensive 19+ base for a heavy, but I like the 2+ save for the heavy. And enjoy the bow abilities of the Fast Calvary.


2) Chariots. Alessio Cavatore's very excellent Dogs of War Part I (which is pretty much my Warhammer bible right now) states, "some characters are sometimes allowed to ride the backs of chariots". I am interested in this idea for a few reasons. But are any characters allowed to ride them? Or specifically referenced ones? Because none of the Heroes are described as being able to use them...

I really enjoyed cutting the arms off of Empire archers and sticking them onto Chaos Marauder horsemen...does that make me a bad person?]]>

Mainly I like to paint interesting figures, or ones that I can use other companies for instead of GW...

The playing of the army is also a consideration, but not as much for winning as having fun doing it...

What should I look at collecting?

Good reasons please for and against ]]>

1st Game: Dogs of War vs HE
Now this game was interesting, considering the fact that the it was one of the players girlfriend who got into warhammer after she saw him playing it one time (he runs Bretonnia), and was just starting out so he thought it would be an easy game for her so he asked if he could play me first, which they agreed. This is what she ran and note I'm doing this from memory and this will be my first of three battles to report:

*Noble:
-w/lance, hw, hvy. armor, shield, Barded steed

*(15x)Spearmen:
-w/full command

*(6x)Sword Masters:

*(5x)Silver Helms: (w/noble)
-w/musican, SB, shields

The board was pretty small since it was only 500 points, and the only pieces of terrain where 2 hills, one in the middle on her side and one on the left flank on mine, with a small forest in the around the center. Obviously, I placed my cannon and Crossbows on the hill, with the pikes on the right sides of the hill with one unit of calvary next to them with the other front of the hill. She (with her boyfriends help) set up straight across from me, with the spears facing across my pikes, the sword masters right behind them, and the SH w/the noble on her left.

Sergeant Deren sighed as he glanced across the field as the high elf noble made his troops ready for battle, wishing they could have avoided such an outcome, but unable to do anything about it. "Was it wise to insult the elf noble captain" Deren said as he glanced to his young captain." I know he's an arrogant prick but he is an elf. They always think there better then everyone else."
"So I decided to take him down a peg or two, " Captain Rainer replied, a slight smile on his face, " Can't help it if he took those words to heart."
"I know he tried to kick us off the road so that he and his troops could walk through, but comparing his mother to a prostitute and making fun of the fact they're a dying race was a bit overboard in my opinion captain."
[i]"Maybe, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end." Rainer said, the smile turning into a grin as clapped Deren on the shoulder and pointed at elves supply wagons. "Tell me, what do you think is in that big chest in the front wagon...."[/i]

"Insolent cure! How dare he makes fun of the house of Servion!" raged Cartherion as he glared across the filed at human captain who seemed to be pointing at him, which soon turned to the human captain raising his middle digit of his right hand in Cartherions direction with a smile on his face, which caused much merriment amongst the human troops.
"Don't worry prince, we'll teach these mercenary scum what happens when they mess with the sons of Uthulan." his standard bearer said as he shifted Cartherion's house banner to a more comfortable grip. Nodding with agreement, Cartherion's heart swelled with pride as he viewed his small host. The spearmen stood erect, there spears and armor glittering in the morning sun as they stood in neat ranks, while the proud Swordmasters finished there meditation for the coming battle and formed up behind the spearmen. Cartherions own Silver Helms stood ready, there steeds neighing and flicking there heads in eagerness for the battle to begin as the banner of his house fluttered in the wind, the roaring dragon plain to see by all. Raising his lance high he shouted "Forward sons of Uthlan. For Calador, For Victory!"

Turn 1:
Captain Rainer watched calmly as the elf noble raised his lance and as one the elf army began to advance, the silver helms keeping in step with the spearmen as they marched forwards. Shaking his head at there foolishness, Rainer shouted for his crossbowmen and mortar to make ready to fire as his light calvary in front of the hill galloped forward, moving into position to flank the enemy. "Make ready..... Fire!: Rainer roared. The mortar that Rainer won from some dwarfs in a card game made a loud boom as it fired, the cannon ball streaking towards the spearmen and right before it hit, the ball exploded in midair, releasing burning oil which fell among the spearmen, making 4 of them scream in utter anguish as the oil splashed in there faces, there skin melting as they collapsed to the ground withering in agony before lying still. The crossbow bolt sooned followed, hissing through the air as they landed amongst the elf knight's, but only punching one from the saddle as the rest missed there mark. "Deren, tell those bastards that if they don't do better there pay will be cut in half!" Rainer shouted as he readied his pikemen's weapons for the coming assault.

Cartherion's anger and grief grew as he watched 4 of his men die from that infernal machine, watching helplessly as the oil slowly burned them to death. "you will be avenged." he swore as he turned in time to deflect 2 crossbow bolts with his shield as arrows fell among them. A gurgling cry was heard and Catherion cried out as he saw one of his Silver Helms fall, an arrow in his throat. Snarling in anger, Cartherion swore the humans would pay.

Turn 2:
The elf army continued to march forward, the elf calvary galloping ahead while the elf spearmen continued to advance, with the funny looking elves with the big swords marching behind them. "Those guys are definitely compensating or something."Deren snickered as he shifted his pike to a better position.
"Maybe, but I don't want to find out." Rainer muttered as he watched his light cavalry on his pikes immediate right take position in front of them, baiting the elf cavalry to charge while the other made ready to flank the elf spearmen as he raised his hand, "Fire!" Again, the mortar boomed, the cannon ball streaking towards the elf spearmen, who raised there shields for protection. However the cannon ball shot over them, exploding in midair over the elf swordsmen, covering 2 in burning oil as they too screamed horribly as they died, causing the remaining elf swordsmen to panic and they turned to flee, but didn't get far as the crossbows fired again, slaughtering them as the bolts hit them in the back. Rainer turned an roared at the crossbowmen, "Now that's earning your pay!", causing the crossbowmen to erupt in celebration as they realized they would be getting paid after all.

Catherion howled in rage as he watched the Swordmasters fall, and suddenly he was filled with a rage he never felt before in his lifetime. "Silver Helms, charge for vengeance!" he screamed as the silver helms lowered there lances and with war cries charged the human calvary in front of them.

Turn 3:
As the elf cavalry charged, Rainer nodded to his musician, who blew his hunting horn, signaling the light cavalry who immediately turned and retreated from the charging elf cavalry and rode with all there might, running through the pikes and as they passed, Rainer immediately formed them up, just in time as the elf cavalry hit. Meanwhile, the other light cavalry charged the spearmen, but realized that they charged to soon and knew that the spearmen would be ready for them when they hit there flank, (failed by less than a inch). However it proved to be unnecessary as the mortar fired again, the ball exploding over the spearmen, causing 5 more to perish, which was followed up by the crossbowmen who's volley killed only 2, but thankfully for them there captain wasn't paying attention. But it was enough for the spearmen as they glanced in horror at there dying brethren, and starting with one of them, they began to flee, dropping there shields and spears in there hast as they ran, tears of guilt in there eyes.

Catherion's triumphant grin turned to a shock of horror as he registered what had happened, but they couldn't stop and he and his silver Helms crashed into the human pikemen. dogging 3 pikes thrusted at him, he swayed back and lashed out, impaling 2 of the pikemen with his lance while the reaming silver helms managed to impale another 2. Then the humans struck back. Catherion cried out in pain as the human captain lashed out with his sword, striking him the arm and making it usless as the remaining pikemen launched there attacks. Catherion's cry of pain turned to one of grief as he watched his silver helms get cut down, each falling with at least 2 pikes in there bodies as the house standard fluttered out of his friends hand to fall on the ground, which was trampled by the horse as they to screamed as they died. Rearing backon his steed, he turned and ran. Ran for his life as he sobbed bitterly, swearing that his friends would be avenged as he heard the human army cheering there victory behind him.

Result: Massacre for the Dogs of War!

As his men began there celebration, Rainer walked over to the abandoned elf supply wagons to the chest and smashed the lock with his sword. Gold coins spilled from the opening and Rainer laughed as he noticed that this was only one of 4 others, which where smashed open to reveal even more gold. They hit the jackpot. Tossing a gold coin to Deren he gave him the thumbs up. "See I told you it would be worth it." and with that Rainer turned to his army who had gathered around the cart, a broad smile on his face. "Lads, tonight the girls and drinks are on me!" And his army roared there approval as they began to dance and sing with celebration. It was going to be one hell of a night.]]>

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been playing WHFB for several editions now, since 3rd I believe, and I have started a Dogs of War army. I found this site through some browsing, and it looks like a good resourse to keep tabs on. I want my army to reflect the Condottiere as closely as a Fantasy army will allow, while still retaining some Fantasy elements.

Here is what I have as my core army. I recently got a large batch of the Pikemen from Bartertown.

Mounted General, Paymaster, and 2 wizards.
14 Crossbows (Empire Militia)
10 Duelists (Estallian Swordsmen as the core)
8 Heavy Cavalry (Converted Battlemasters for the most part)
Pirazzo x20
Alcatani x20
Ricco's x25
Halfling Archers x10

I also have the pay wagon, but there is no place for it currently at 2000pts. Should I need to go higher, there is always my 4000pt Dwarf army to draw from, and a 3500pt Empire. It's not painted yet, but I am starting 2 weeks stay-cation, so who knows what I'll be able to knock out.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been playing WHFB for several editions now, since 3rd I believe, and I have started a Dogs of War army. I found this site through some browsing, and it looks like a good resourse to keep tabs on. I want my army to reflect the Condottiere as closely as a Fantasy army will allow, while still retaining some Fantasy elements.

Here is what I have as my core army. I recently got a large batch of the Pikemen from Bartertown.

Mounted General, Paymaster, and 2 wizards.
14 Crossbows (Empire Militia)
10 Duelists (Estallian Swordsmen as the core)
8 Heavy Cavalry (Converted Battlemasters for the most part)
Pirazzo x20
Alcatani x20
Ricco's x25
Halfling Archers x10
Cannon

My first game was against tomb kings. In the warbands rules, they have a nasty little special rule! Any unit with full command may cast one of the TK incantations as a bound spell! I had no wizard in my force, and so had to contend with three or four bound spells every turn. Many of my units were blasted early and often.

Towards the end of the game, I had only my unit of maneaters left. The 'belchers had been blown to bits, and the duelists with the captain panicked and ran of the board. The other duelists sacrificed themselves to lead a chariot squadron astray. The maneaters proved tough enough, though. They whittled down the enemy skeleton warriors and archers, and contested an objective in the middle of the board, and eked out a draw.

In the third game, I faced a lizardman army. I was really worried about how long the ogres would hold up to poisoned darts, and so ran them screened behind the duelists. When they got close enough, the 'belchers took care of the skinks with their cannons. The maneaters slammed into a block of saurus and chewed them up. The other duelists got a unit of kroxigors to chase them into the woods, and kept them tied up for most of the rest of the game. The pirates won!

In the end, it was enough for a second place finish out of 5.]]>

As a mighty Wizard Lord, my Sadirath needs a good start for his merc army. He's a bit of a lusty fellow and likes it when it's dirty and in the trenches (at least as long as it's not him). So he wants a good infantry base.

As a cost effective start to Dogs of War, do you think an Ogre Battalion is a good choice to get going? Sorry for the newb question...I'll try and catch up fast.

But either way, excited to read army lists, battle reports and the Ezine to bone up on my killing skills!]]>

I'm currently building a High Elves army but have always wanted a Dogs of War army and decided to get some advice on how to properly build one.

All future advice appreciated ]]>

1.Which is better, a Truthsayer or a Dark Emissary and where can I get the rules for me to field them.

2.Which ROR unit would be better, Ricco's Republican Guard with the +1 WS or Leapolds Leopards,who are immune to psychology.

3.Thinking about using the Bearmen, are they an effective unit?

4.I'm going to be using at least 1 unit of regular pikemen, so is heavy armor worth the points or should I just ignore it.

5.Also, is there's a place on this site where the current Dogs of War rules are located, because I was planning to use the one you guys where making but just want to be prepared if they won't let me use it.]]>
