The Dogs of War bug has hit me hard again. I've been converting pikemen from state troops and have been having a lot of difficulty finding the center on the thin spear hafts and heads. It seems that for every 5 sets of arms I have to discard 2 because I missed the mark so many time.

Is this a trial an error thing or does anyone know a trick to easily find the center of the spear.]]>

This is my first topic. I recently bought second hand the figures of Johann and Wilhelm from Dogs Of War. They seem to date back to 1992. Allthough i have seen a couple of pictures on the net i'm goin to ask that question here, does anyone have pictures on how to paint them? maybe original shots, close-up maybe.

I will post my progress here when i can, the pictures will not be very good since i have to take pics with my phone due to a bad battery on the Kodak... I'll try t get some pictures up today.

I've been away for quite a while on other projects but now I'm back on track with my Dogs of War army. While I sort out some core regiments I was mucking about with some figs I got cheap a couple of years back. As I painted them up I started thinking about how I could use them and decided I'd have a go at making my own RoR.

The unit is loosely based on the Paymaster's Bodyguard. I've attached the unit banner I put together as well. Let me know what you think...

Reggimento Bambini de Lucrezzia Belladonna

The Reggimento Bambini de Lucrezzia Belladonna (or Belladonna’s Boys as they are more commonly known) are the personal bodyguard of Lucrezzia Belladonna, powerful sorceress and renowned beauty.

Belladonna’s Boys were each selected by Belladonna herself from orphanages across Tilea, all before their tenth birthday. Exactly how she selected each boy remains a mystery and many believed she was taking the boys to test her poisons.

It later transpired that Belladonna feared assassination by her enemies and decided to raise a bodyguard whose loyalty would be unquestioning. Each boy was raised and trained by Captain Ramon and Sergeant Alfonso until upon their eighteenth birthday they were "inducted" into the regiment. Exactly what THAT entails is the subject of drunken tavern talk the world over.

For Hire: Belladonna’s boys cannot be hired unless Lucrezzia Belladonna herself is present. They are her personal bodyguard and will not take the field without her. If hired they are a Special Unit as Lucrezzia Belladonna herself is a Lord choice.

Points: Captain Ramon, Sergeant Alfonso, a musician, standard bearer and four spearmen or halberdiers (in any combination) cost 140 points. Additional spearmen or halberdiers may be hired for 9 points each.

M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Captain Ramon 4 4 2 3 3 2 4 2 8
Sergeant Alfonso 4 4 2 3 3 1 3 2 7
Drummer 4 4 2 3 3 1 3 1 7
Standard 4 4 2 3 3 1 3 1 7
Halberdier 4 4 2 3 3 1 3 1 7
Spearman 4 4 2 3 3 1 3 1 7

Unit size: 8+

Equipment: Hand weapon, spear or halberd and light armour. Captain Ramon is armed with a sword and shield. Sergeant Alfonso is armed with a sword and spear.

Special Rules

Mixed formation: Belladonna’s Boys fight with either a spear or halberd. During the game remove casualties as normal choosing either a spearman or halberdier as desired.

Rumours of Poisoned Weapons: Rumours abound regarding Lucrezzia Belladonna and her penchant for poisons. It has never been proven that Belladonna’s Boys have poison on their weapon’s edges but the rumour alone is enough to discomfort enemies. Belladonna’s Boys cause Fear as a consequence.

Thats the past. but now i see different advantages still on our side.
Biesgers...yes expensive but they do two roles. Crossbow for 3 turns
and then can have staying power from a charge if the opponent is weakened in numbers enough/and 3 plus armor vs shooting and magic.
Magic also if concentrated on can make them formidable (im gonna use metal because of all the buffs to range/combat and armor)and making units better then they are.
Manflayers have to be arguebly still the best unit in fantasy period.
marching poison and armor piercing shots at BS 5. great weapons, heavy armor, scouts and banner that makes them impossible to be shot at.
galloper gun is another great unit i still see. Moving grape shot and cannon. hero stat on horse to attack other war machines.
We also have a really great surprise in the dwarves special choice.
If im reading this correctly they can have heavy armor,great weapon, shield and crossbow for a 16 point model!
3 turns of shooting and then tough fighting unit in close combat as well?
thats the same as an 8 point crossbow man and an 8 point two handed warrior but you get leadership 9, toughness 4 and a 4plus armor vs range.
Halfing pot is really great with no armor saves allowed...
Goblin hewer is a unit shredder now that armies field deep ranked units more often now.
even norse marauders if you want to go cheap cost and high effective in this new system where everyone in the front still attacks is great.
Great weapons and frenzy and lots of bodies to stand your ground tactic.
i can continue but you get the idea(We are still a great army.)
So on too my questions...

Can we use the Ettin from forgeworld(what a monster) in our army and then what slot does it take up?

When upgrading to a bull rhinox does it do d6 stomp attaks because its a large creature?

Is the limit on Midas the means body guard of 25 models still in effect?
str 5 int 4 WS 4 heavy armor stubborn magic weapon attacks at 11 points each sounds good to me. Not to mention 5-6 starts the unit with plus one on the dice roll to hit in close combat.

Are communities or clubs letting you guys play with Golfag as in the Ogre army rule book?

where is lupos rules? and can we use that mad scientist that invented the steam tank? is there a way to make ursed company any good tactically im not seeing?

And what other ideas can i use with cool models in my army. Theme multi races but have each unit has to work for the paymaster for different reasons. So far i got ordered forge world mannann blades and ironsides (beisgers) also for my dwarves im using chaos dwarves from forgeworld with the glaives because they look like gunblades (crossbows and great weapons for my unit). For my elf unit manflayers i was thinking warhammer 40k dark eldars mandrakes. With the theme there wood elves from dark forest of Cathay. The pay master has the ability to chop the forest down but the payment of a unit to fight for him keeps an agreement not too. the shooting attacks come from the flaming hands and tattoos/engravings are the armor.
Golfag or Ogres will be represented as Doombull(nice model)
Army just needs to look mean but nuetral.
I got to fit in skaven somehow and i need greenskins of some sort and lizardmen.
Thank you for your time...
and your money Smile]]> Sooooo back in the day when i was a GW manager i had every army (6th edition i believe) and dogs of war had the best advantage due to no one really having enough practice against the army and the multi heroes ect. ect.

Manflayers have to be arguebly still the best unit in fantasy period.
marching poison and armor piercing shots at BS 5. great weapons, heavy armor, scouts and banner that makes them impossible to be shot at.
galloper gun is another great unit i still see. Moving grape shot and cannon. hero stat on horse to attack other war machines.
We also have a really great surprise in the dwarves special choice.
If im reading this correctly they can have heavy armor,great weapon, shield and crossbow for a 16 point model!
3 turns of shooting and then tough fighting unit in close combat as well?
thats the same as an 8 point crossbow man and an 8 point two handed warrior but you get leadership 9, toughness 4 and a 4plus armor vs range.
Halfing pot is really great with no armor saves allowed...
Goblin hewer is a unit shredder now that armies field deep ranked units more often now.
even norse marauders if you want to go cheap cost and high effective in this new system where everyone in the front still attacks is great.
Great weapons and frenzy and lots of bodies to stand your ground tactic.
i can continue but you get the idea(We are still a great army.)
So on too my questions...

Can we use the Ettin from forgeworld(what a monster) in our army and then what slot does it take up?

When upgrading to a bull rhinox does it do d6 stomp attaks because its a large creature?

Is the limit on Midas the means body guard of 25 models still in effect?
str 5 int 4 WS 4 heavy armor stubborn magic weapon attacks at 11 points each sounds good to me. Not to mention 5-6 starts the unit with plus one on the dice roll to hit in close combat.

Are communities or clubs letting you guys play with Golfag as in the Ogre army rule book?

where is lupos rules? and can we use that mad scientist that invented the steam tank? is there a way to make ursed company any good tactically im not seeing?

And what other ideas can i use with cool models in my army. Theme multi races but have each unit has to work for the paymaster for different reasons. So far i got ordered forge world mannann blades and ironsides (beisgers) also for my dwarves im using chaos dwarves from forgeworld with the glaives because they look like gunblades (crossbows and great weapons for my unit). For my elf unit manflayers i was thinking warhammer 40k dark eldars mandrakes. With the theme there wood elves from dark forest of Cathay. The pay master has the ability to chop the forest down but the payment of a unit to fight for him keeps an agreement not too. the shooting attacks come from the flaming hands and tattoos/engravings are the armor.
Golfag or Ogres will be represented as Doombull(nice model)
Army just needs to look mean but nuetral.
I got to fit in skaven somehow and i need greenskins of some sort and lizardmen.
Thank you for your time...

Now as a Dogs of War player I would like the answer to be yes to both, however I do intent to use the Goblin-Hewer in the '12 Adepticon and I suspect this will be a question that a FAQ will be needed to clarify.]]>

We switched it around this time and upped the forces to 3K each. I positioned my infantry in the castle, and held my giant croc, giant, and scraplauncher in relief.

[Image: DSC03383.jpg]

I found that I had a hard time spending all of my siege points buying equipment. At 3K, I had a little bit of everything including 4 sally forths. My opponent, meanwhile, invested heavily in cannons (4) and mortars (2) as well as characters. Every large unit of infantry had at least a captain and a warrior priest.

[Image: DSC03386.jpg]

In the early going, luck was very much on my side. Rolling 8 dice for my sally forths, I managed four 6s and destroyed two thirds of his artillery! The leadbelchers also did well, devastating a couple larger units.

Things were not going well for my opponent. He assaulted the walls with two units, but one was repelled. The other was in a siege tower, and got stuck in after I lost the combat but made my break test. During my turn, my tyrant joined the fight in the tower. Carrying the sword of anti-heroes, and with a captain, warrior priest, and general on the other side, I rolled 8 strength 9 attacks and squashed the general.

At that point my opponent through in the towel, cursing my ogre tricksiness and vowing revenge. We are already working on the rubber match.]]>

Specific example: Could Leonardo's genius that lets crossbowmen reroll misses effect the Marksmen of Migriliano. They are technically crossbowmen, yet not by name. Would the same hold true to some of the traits that effect crossbows like the drill master etc...

Thinking of bringing Dogs of War to adeption ,but don't want to have any rule problems.

Thanks
