DOGS OF WAR

REGIMENTS OF RENOWN

by Alessio Cavatore

This is the second part of Dogs of War, a get-you-by army list for veteran gamers who

have existing armies from the last edition of Warhammer. Here Alessio describes the

Regiments of Renown – daring sell-swords, infamous the world over, who will fight for

any army in the Known World…

regiments that we have published in the past. Let’s call

them Regiments of Renown (RoR), to distinguish

them from the normal units you can find in the basic

Dogs of War army list. Of course you can field these

models as normal Dogs of War, but with the rules

included in this article, you now have a chance of fielding

these special versions of the basic mercenary troops.

Unfortunately we did not have enough space to include

the colourful background that Nigel Stillman and other

authors have written for these regiments. These great

stories can still be found in the Dogs of War army book of

the fifth edition of Warhammer and in various White

Dwarf articles. I am sure that our Mail Order Trolls will be

more than happy to help you find the background you

are interested in.

Points. Each regiment has a basic cost, which includes all

the equipment, characters and their magic items. These

cannot be modified in any way.

Profiles. The characteristic profiles for the troops and

characters in each unit are given here.

Unit Sizes. Each entry specifies the minimum size for

each unit. Normally the unit’s size can be increased by

buying extra models at the cost given, but in some cases

units also have a maximum size.

Equipment. This entry lists the weapons and armour for

that regiment. The value of these items is included in the

points value.

Special rules. Many troops have special rules which are

described in this section.

Magic Items. Some characters

carry magic items and their

rules are given here. Note that

the player cannot buy

new magic items for

the characters of the

Regiments of Renown.

In what respect are they special then? Well, first of all

these regiments have a name, they have one or more

unique characters leading them and often have special

rules or equipment that differentiate them from the

norm.

All named models in a Regiments of Renown count as

characters in the game. These characters cannot leave

their unit (unless specified), but they do not use up any

of the character slots from the army lists (unless

specified).

If the characters have different equipment than the

rest of the rank and file, this is clearly listed in the

Equipment list. Note that, regardless of their

Leadership value, these characters can never

be an army’s General.

In some cases, such as the Birdmen

of Catrazza or the Giants of Albion,

these regiments are absolutely

weird and quite entertaining, and

I tried to keep them only as part

of the Dogs of War armies for the

sake of game balance.

REGIMENTS FOR HIRE

In the next few pages, you will

find all the information you need

to field Regiments of Renown

in your Warhammer battles.

For Hire. This paragraph

states which armies the

regiment can fight for and

its position (Core, Special,

Rare) in the relevant lists.

I n this second article I’ve collected all the named

Bear Banner (Magic Standard)

Oerl carries the tribe’s totem into battle – an entire bear skin

whose grizzly head leers out from the top. The skin’s power is

Unbreakable: Like all Slayers, Long Drong’s Pirates are

Unbreakable (see page 112 of the Warhammer rulebook). Note

that, being Dwarfs before Slayers, they still hate all Greenskins.

Festooned with Pistols: All the pirates, including Long Drong,

gain an additional Attack because they are fighting with a pistol in

each hand. Since they are festooned with pistols which they shoot

off in a hurricane of destruction, all of their attacks are considered

to be Strength 4 Armour Piercing pistol shots. The Pirates carry so

many pistols that they never need to reload, therefore their pistol

bonus is always in action, not only in the first round of combat.
