THE ARMIES OF TILEA, ESTALIA, AND

THE SOUTHERN OLD WORLD.

THE MERCENARY WAYAll through the Warhammer world there are Mercenaries. They seek glory, adventure and above all gold. Tilea

has the largest population of resident Mercenaries but the Border Princes, the Southern parts of the Empire and

Estalia are also common haunts of Mercenary Officers. The following rules are those that apply to all (unless

otherwise noted) Mercenary Units.

GREED: Mercenaries love nothing more then gold (or some other valuable) and thus at times are bought off by

the enemy. At the start of the first Dogs of War turn each regiment must roll a D6 on a roll of a one the unit may

not move or fire that turn. Units that have been fired upon by the enemy need not roll.

The Greed rules also apply in the case of non-Dogs of War armies fielding Mercenary Regiments not just in a Dogs

of War Army.

FOR HIRE: DOGS OF WAR IN OTHER ARMIES

Mercenaries not only form the core of armies of the southern Old World but supplement other armies of the world

that may either be suffering a shortage of Warriors, wish not to use their own Warriors, or wish to prevent their

opponents from hiring the mercenaries for the previous reasons. All Mercenaries hired by other armies follow the

special equipment rules given for Contract Army selection.

BRETONNIA: Having suffered several humiliating defeats at the hands of Tileans both on Bretonnian and Tilean

soil as well as the chivalric distrust of one who would have faith only in pay Bretonnians may hire absolutely no

Dogs of War.

DWARFS: Dwarfs have an almost chronic shortage of warriors to deal with constant state of war in which they

live. Dwarfs employ humans, hold-less Dwarfs, Ogres, and at times Halflings as well. Dwarfs may field any of thefollowing units as rare choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites, Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry,

Halflings, Mercenary Dwarfs, Ogres, Norse Warriors, Light Cannon, and Horse Artillery.

DARK ELVES: Though it suffers themselves to do it Dark Elves at times will employ mercenaries to suppliment

their force. The odd band of Norscans, subjugated Greenskins, and other Elven companies of dubious origins have

often been found along with Druchii Raiders. Dark Elves may field any of the following units as rare choices:

Duelists, Light Cavalry, Norse Warriors, and Ogres.

CHAOS: Mortal and Beastmen leaders often find not so much mercenaries but those that have succumbed to the

siren call of the ruinous powers. Renegade Cultists, evil hearted Dwarfs, corrupted Elves, and Greenskins bent on

loot are the most common of mercenaries in the service of Chaos Warlords. Chaos Mortal and Beasts generals may

field any of the following units as rare choices: Duelists, Light Cavalry, Mercenary Dwarfs, and Norse

Warriors.

CHAOS DWARF: Though only a desperate mercenary would seek employment from Chaos Dwarfs it does happen

and most of the time it becomes a life contract. Brigands, Northern Tribesmen, Ogres, and a myriad of various

Greenskins are those that most often sell their swords to Chaos Dwarf Lords. Chaos Dwarf armies may field and of

the following units as rare choices: Light Cavalry, Duelists, Norse Warriors, and Ogres.

THE EMPIRE: The Empire above all other armies employs a wide variety of mercenaries and most Elector Counts



have their own personal regiments of Tilean Crossbowmen over the poor quality crossbowmen found in the

Empire, expatriate Dwarfs, and Halfling cooks. Imperial armies may include any of the following units as rare

choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites , Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Halflings,

Mercenary Dwarfs, Ogres, Norse Warriors, Light Cannon, and Horse Artillery.

HIGH ELVES: Insular they maybe but it is not for uncommon for expeditions to the southern continents to include

Mercenary contingents. Impressed Norscan and Tilean Sailors are the most common but when in need of brutestrength Ogres may find an Elf to pay them. High Elves may field any of the following units as rare choices:

Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites, Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Ogres, and Norse Warriors.

LIZARDMEN: Generally having limited dealing with all the other races of the world Lizardmen do use many

mercenaries when it suits the goals of the Old Ones. Tilean explorers, Northern colonizers, and stranded Elven

companies. Lizardmen may field any of the following units as rare choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites

Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Ogres, and Norse Warriors.

ORCS AND GOBLINS: Mercenaries sometimes join up for with warbands of Orcs or Goblins when they can be

bought off with promissory loot rather then gold. Hungry Ogres, treacherous Hobgoblins, the odd band of Human

Outlaws may all find a home among Orcs though it is rough company. Orcs and Goblins may field any of the

following units as rare choices: Light Cavalry, Ogres, and Duelists.

SKAVEN: Skaven are one of the worst employers for the prospective mercenary and varying level of distrust that

is found in most southern Old Worlders of the foul ratmen reduces greatly the numbers of mercenaries Skaven can

find to hire. Orcs, Hobgoblins, foolish human irregulars, and even a desperate group of Ogres may find their way

into the employ of Skaven Warlords. Skaven may field any of the following units as rare choices: Light Cavalry,

Ogres, and Duelists.

TOMB KINGS: On occasion a force of would be tomb raiders are inspired to serve a Tomb King and those that

have a great deal of rivals often employ mercenaries to counter the other would be robbers leaving the King

personal army to fight else where. Desert Nomads, Tilean Infantry, gold greedy Dwarfs, and adventurous Elves

may at times be seen marching with the Undead Legions. Tomb Kings may field any of the following units as rare

choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites, Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Mercenary Dwarfs,

Ogres, and Norse Warriors.

VAMPIRE COUNTS: Mercenaries who enter service of a Vampire Count or even a Necromancer often face not

only a job for life but one long after, there are even some Vampire counts that are aided by human auxiliaries

serving out of some twisted love for Vampire. Enthralled Mercenaries, listless dregs, and certain greenskins may

even be found in league with Vampire Counts. Vampire Counts may field any of the following units as rare

choices: Mercenary Pedites, Duelists, Light Cavalry, and Norse Warriors.

WOOD ELVES: Xenophobic Wood Elves almost never employ mercenaries. Wood Elves may never field any

Dogs of War.

ARMY COMPOSITION

The predominantly Mercenary Armies of the Southern Old World while consisting of generally the same troops,very from region to region. The Pike and Crossbow are weapons much favored by those of Tilean extraction and

though an Estalian may also carry such weapons, Sword and Buckler and Handgun are preferred. The selection of

origin only alters the selection of certain regiments in the army, Non-human and Norse mercenaries are always

selected in the same manner regardless of origins of the army.



TILEAN CITY STATES

The City States of Tilea are by far the greatest power in

the Southern Old World, and at times when the internal

feuds have been set aside to face a common foe one of

the most powerful nations of the world. Tilean armies

are based on blocks of sturdy Pikemen supported by

Crossbowmen and cavalry as a reserve.

ESTALIA

West of Tilea, lies the generally arid and rugged plains

of Estalia. Estalia is dominated by two principle cities,

Magritta in the south and Bilbali in the north. Estalians

are strict on drill and their armies consist of well trained

blocks of Swordsmen supported by handgunners.However the proximity to Tilea is not without influence

and some Estalian Princes have begun to train their

infantry to bear pikes. Wizards are few in Estalia, as the

strength of an off shoot of the Myramidian Cult, the

Inquisition, monitors Magic users intensely.

BORDER PRINCES

Under Bretonnian, Imperial, and Tilean stewardship,

the petty Kingdoms of the Border Princes are the poorest

states of the southern Old World. Plagued by Orcs,

Goblins, Beastmen, and Brigands, only desperate

settlers attempt to make a living in the place.

Mercenaries however, live quite well with the constantwarfare the region provides. Those few local regiments

that can be mustered the Flail is the customary weapon.

ADVENTURING AND CONTRACT

ARMY Fighting for one state or another is not enough for many

ambitious generals. Daily the ports of Tilea and Estalia

are filled with mercenaries signing on to private armies

that depart to plunder the known world and more oftenthen not the unknown. These contract armies consist of

a wide array of soldierly held together only for pay and

the promise of plunder. Sometimes these armies are

formed on contract to a wealthy lord, as it is not

unknown for, Imperial Counts in particular, entire

armies of mercenaries to serve in tasks that the lords

troops are either unwilling or unable to do.

SPECIAL RULES

• A Mercenary Captain must be appointed Paymaster

at no additional cost. The Character may not be the

characters allowed in the list.• All Regiments are subject the Greed special rule

MERCHANT PRINCESThough some are referred to as Doge or Duke,

Merchant Prince is by far the most common title of

the leaders or Tilean City States. Though for the

most part Merchant Princes want little to do with

military matters and are more then happy to hire far more competent officers to take their troops into the

field, some are quite able commanders such as the

famous generals Borgio the Besieger, Marc

Columbo, and Justintine di Varenna were both

skilled Generals as well as Merchant Princes.

Merchant Princes can represent ruling Dons of

Estalian cities, Senators of Tilean Republics, or any

other Petty King or Prince throughout the southern

Old World.

SPECIAL RULES

Rich: Merchant Princes are quite wealth and can

afford to bring great relics to war. Any unit of core

troops in the army may be given a magic banner

worth up to 50 points.

MERCENARY OFFICERSMercenary Generals are the adventurous fellows wholead expeditions all over the world. Mercenary

generals often started they careers as simple foot

soldiers and slowly through time advanced in rank

by skill or luck to their current position. This means

that for a person to reach this position they must be

both a skilled warrior, leader of men, and a touch

politician.

SPECIAL RULESProfessional Soldier. If Mercenary Characters are

deployed with a regiment subject to greed the

regiment is not required to take the Greed test.

Paymaster. The Paymaster is the man responsible

for the cash, which will be used to pay the army. He

always carries with him the keys to the pay chest and

that makes him just as important as the general in

the eyes of the Mercenaries. To represent this, his

key is treated exactly like a Battle Standard. In

addition, if the paymaster is killed, every in the army

must take a Panic test at the end of that phase. From

that point on, every unit in the army will hate the

enemy unit that captured the Paymaster’s key.

HIRELING WIZARDSWizards are not immune to the lure of gold and

adventure in fact many are found on the staffs of

prominent Mercenary commanders. Some

particularly powerful Wizards and Sorcerers employ

and command entire mercenary armies, protecting

the Wizard during study or maybe even to acquire an

item of particular importance.

Warhammer Rulebook.



THE PEDITESAt the core of every mercenary army throughout the

known world are Pedites, which is low Tilean for

Footmen.

STATE PEDITES Urban Militiamen form the core of most Southern

Old World states. Consisting of mainly middle-class

artisans, tradesmen, and lesser merchants, these men

serve out of duty to their city and are as well trained

as professional Mercenary Infantry or Imperial

Infantry.

MERCENARY PEDITES

Of course Cities can only put to field so many of

their own men and with the constant wars, in Tilea

particularly, contract soldiers are required to fill the

gap and provide expendable soldiers the Princes

petty wars. Occasionally unreliable, especially when pay is in arrears, Mercenary Pedites provide service

to not only Tilea, Estalia, and the Border Princes but

the rest of the world as well.

VETERAN PEDITES

Mercenaries or City Militia troops of particularly

long service often form their own regiments made up

of hand picked recruits of suitably long service or

merit. These companies are the finest forces

available to hire as the are skilled in the art of war

and masters of their particular weapons.

SPECIAL RULES:

Hardened Veterans. Years of service have honed

these troops into some of the finest Mercenaries for

hire. As such over their companies career it has

gained a reputation for a particular skill. Veteran

Pedites may have one of the following Battle Skills

at no cost. These Battle Skills are unique and as such

two Veteran Pedite Regiments may not have thesame battle skill in an army. Battle Skills are

selected when the army list is drafted and noted in

the unit’s special rules.

BATTLE SKILLS:Battle Hardened. These Soldiers have seen it all

and are rarely fazed by any situation they face on the

battlefield. The Regiment is Immune to Psychology

Fearsome Reputations. Infamous for their skill at

arms and ferocious fighting abilities the regiment

Causes Fear in Troops with LD 7 or Less.

Battle Fury. Charging home an assault is the

Regiments specialty, an additional Rank may attack

on the Charge per model.

Expedient. Fleet of foot the unit moves faster thenany other, +1 Movement

Bodyguards. Professionals of the highest order, the

regiment will protect their charge almost to the

death, Stubborn when lead by character.

Crack Shots. Once per game a regiment of missile

armed Veteran Pedites may opt to take careful aim at

their opponents. This round of shooting has the

Killing Blow ability. Aiming for precise gaps in

armour has it’s costs so all shots are at –1 to hit.

Speed Loaders. Years of use and training allows theregiment to operate their arms much faster then the

normal warrior. The regiment ignore Move and Fire

restrictions on missile weapons.



DUELISTSDuelists, often referred to as Brigandi do to their

rather dubious origins, are the light infantry of

Mercenary armies. They come from many different

regions and forms of employment (almost always

petty criminals though) be they pistol wielding

Sailors, Street Thugs with throwing knives, or Estalian Sword and Buckler men.


Duelist 4 4 3 3 3 1 4 1 7

SPECIAL RULES

Skirmishers. Duelists are skirmishers

_________________________________________________________

MERCENARY CAVALRY Most armies of the world employ some cavalry and

mercenary armies are no different. The major

difference from other army’s cavalry is that

mercenaries employ both Light and Heavy in equal

numbers and some armies even consist entirely of

cavalry.

HEAVY CAVALRY

The Elmetti come from all over the Old World.Most are Tilean or Estalian but there are also Arabs,

Kislevites, Imperials, and Bretonnians serving in the

heavy cavalry of mercenary armies. Arms and

Armour tend to be roughly the same often of either

the Tilean of Imperial style. Regiments from Araby

and Kislev bear their native arms and armour and

rarely bard their steeds.

LIGHT CAVALRY

Referred to as Stradioti in Tilea, Light Cavalry

provides a valuable service to mercenary armies

during the advance and during the pursuit/retreat

after battle. Though less as vital in battle itself Light

Cavalry still perform well to harass the enemy’s

flanks and be a general nuisance to the enemy’s

advance. Most Tilean Stradiot cavalry are found in

the rolling hills of Trantio and the plains around

Luccini, thought every city does have regiments.

Foreign Light Cavalry are most often Kislevites or

Arabs though quite a few regiments do come fromEstalia.

_________________________________________________ MERCENARY ARTILLERY

Though not as common as in Dwarf or Imperial

armies artillery is often employed by mercenary

armies. Smaller then the pieces produced in

Dwarven of Imperial Foundries, these ship board

guns still pack plenty of punch.

Light Cannon

The rules for cannons are found on page 122 of the

Warhammer Rulebook and are treated as the smaller

type.

Horse Artillery

Originally designed by the Engineer Bronzino, horse

drawn artillery has spread in use and been more

readily copied. The Galloper Gun is extremely

suited to mobile warfare and is drawn around the

battlefield by a horse with its crew running or riding

with it.


Crew 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7

Gun 8 - - - 6 2 - - -

Warhorse 8 3 0 3 3 2 3 1 5

SPECIAL RULES

Cannon. Horse Artillery follow the rules for

cannons in the Warhammer rule book (the smaller

type) with the following amendments.

Small Caliber. The gun has a guess of 24" and is

Strength 7, causing D3, and allowing no save.

Rapid Movement. The Galloper gun is harnessed

to a warhorse and may move 8" a turn. The Gun

may make a march move the standard 16” inches. If

the crew is charged they may hold or flee. If they flee

the gun is taken with them.



DWARFS, OGRES, AND HALFLINGSOf the non-Human mercenaries Dwarfs, Ogres, and

Halflings are those that are more readily employed as

they are far more reliable then Greenskins and no

where near as rare as Elves, Zoats, and other oddities

that find there way to the employ of a lord.

DWARFS

Dwarf Warriors often come into the employ of

mercenary generals. Often they come from clans

that have lost their homes and find employment as

mercenaries. Many of these clans save most of their

wages for a time when they can fund a recapture

attempt of their clan home. Dwarfs are steadfast and

stubborn opponents and there lust for gold makes

them quite willing treasure seekers.

OGRES

Ogres are one of the toughest enemies to face. Theyare big, tough, and will eat almost anything. Ogres,

when properly feed, make some of the most loyal

mercenaries following their General to the ends of

the earth and back. The best Ogre mercenaries,

while not as loyal as the southern Ogres, come form

the northern regions of the Old World. In the

Imperial Provinces of Ostland, Ostermark, and

Stirland every spring the Ogres come out of their

winter homes to seek employment of the highest

bidder be it the Imperial Commanders or the Orcs

preparing for the summer raiding season. As a

result these Ogres often are the best armed and

armoured of all Ogre regiments.

HALFLINGS

Most armies employ Halflings as baggage guards

and cooks. In some cases there is a particularly

rowdy bunch of Halflings that actually fight with the

rest of the army but they are considered strange bymost other Halflings. These bands of “weirdos” are

often veterans of the Imperial Halfling Corps, the

Moots contribution to the defense of the Empire.

When there term is up some Halflings have gotten

the taste for adventure which they can easily sate in

Tilea, as well as their appetite on large Tilean

portions.

Mercenary Dwarfs are the same doughty warriors as

there kin, therefore follow the Ancestral Grudge,

Relentless, and Resolute Rules found in Warhammer

Armies Dwarfs.

Woodsmen. Halflings are can easily move through

woods thus suffer no movement penalties in wooded

terrain.

___________________________________________________ THE NORTHMEN

Norse have long raided the coastal areas of the world

and Tilea is no exception but, Tilean nature as it is,

most Norse no longer raid Tilea but come instead

seeking gainful employment. Norse are great

warriors and there fury in battle is remarkable.

Tileans also employ them as guides for far off

expeditions to foreign continents do to the Norse

substantial seafaring skills. Some Norse regiments

are raised from the decedents of the Norse Kingdom

of Sartosa, though subject to 1500 years of contact

with Tileans, Arabs, and others, they have lost none

of their love for battle.


Norse 4 4 3 3 3 1 4 1 7

THE BESTIARYPEGUSI:

Some Mercenary officers who have the money

sometimes purchase Pegasus foals captured by

traders in the Grey Mountains. These creatures are

much intelligent then normal horses and more loyal

as well. The Pegasus' greatest asset is it's pair of great feathered wings that allow the Pegasus to carry

it's rider into the air.


Pegasus 8 3 0 4 4 3 4 2 6

__________________________________________________ THE ARMOURYThe items in the following list are unique to the Dogs of War army and can be chosen by the Dogs of War player

obstacle the length of there frontage to a maximum of

6". The regiment behind the defenses may claim hard

cover and defended obstacle.

deploy using the Scouts special rule.

turn two the regiment may show up a flank table edge

on the roll of a +4. This table edge needs to be decided

at the star t of the game however so the player using

flank march must write down on a piece of paper

whether it be the left or right flank. If the regiment

arrives it is treated as a unit returning to the table after

pursuing an enemy off it the previous turn. Should the

regiment never arrive it is considered lost, ambushed, or

otherwise destroyed so the enemy can claim victory

points for it.

likely throws another soldier in front. If not in a unit the

General still benefits from Look Out Sir while the

Bodyguard lives but under the normal rules (+2 for a

roll and the Ogre taking the hits instead).

QUIRKS OF CHARACTER Mercenary Generals have strange and sometimes checkered past. Over this time many Mercenaries acquire

strange traits or abilities they use to there full extent in battle. The Mercenary Generals may have three quirks to a

maximum of 100 points. Of these three Quirks only one may be a Major Quirk. Mercenary Captains may have two

Quirks all of which must be minor for up to 50 points. These points if used in Quirks are deducted from the pointsavailable for magic items.

The Dogs of War Army ListThe following pages contain an army list which

enables you to field a Dog of War army in games of

Warhammer. The purpose of army lists is to enable players with vastly different armies to stage games

which are as fair and as evenly balanced as it is

possible to make them. The army list ascribes each

individual model a 'points value' or 'points cost'

which represents its capabilities on the tabletop. The

higher a model's points value the better it is in one or

more respects: stronger, tougher, faster, better

leadership, and so on. The value of the army is

simply the value of all the models added together. As

well as providing points costs the list also divides the

army into its constituent units. The list describes the

weapons and optional equipment that troops can

have and occasionally restricts the number of very powerful units an army can include. It would be very

silly indeed if an army were to consist entirely of

flying eagles, thundering cannons, or fire breathing

dragons. The resultant game would be a frustrating

and unbalanced affair if not a complete waste of

time. We employ army lists to ensure that this does

not happen!

How the List is Intended to Be UsedThe chief role of the army list is to enable two

players to each choose an army of equal points value

to fight a straight-forward battle as described in the

main body of the Warhammer rules. Primarily, thelist is constructed with this purpose in mind.

The list can also be used when playing specific

scenarios, either those described in the Warhammer

book or others including ones invented by the players

or a third party. In this case the list provides a

framework which the players or umpire can adapt as

required. It might, for example, be felt necessary to

increase or decrease the number of characters or

units allowed, or to restrict or remove options in the

standard list such as, magic items, monstrous

mounts, leaders, and so on. If you refer to the

Scenarios section of the Warhammer book you'll find

some examples of this very kind of thing.

How the Army List is OrganizedThe army list is divided into two sections.

• CHARACTERS

• UNITS

Characters represent your most able commanders

and companions: mighty heroes, wizards, and other

extraordinary individuals and leaders. These form a

vital and potent part of your forces.

Units represent cover all the troops available to the

Mercenary General. These can be Core, Special or

Rare units all depending on the Army Selection

scheme chosen.

How to Choose an ArmyBoth players choose armies to the same agreed

points value. Most players find that 2000 points is

about right for a battle that will last over an evening.

Whatever value you agree, this is the maximum

number of points you can spend on your army. You

can spend less and will probably find it is impossible

to use up every last point. Most 2000 point armies

will therefore be something like 1998 or 1999 points,

but they are still '2000' point armies for our

purposes. Once you have decided on a total points

value it is time to choose your force.



Choosing CharactersCharacters are divided into two broad categories:

Lords (the most powerful) and Heroes. The

maximum number of characters an army can include

is shown on the chart below. Your army must alwaysinclude at least one Hero character to act as the

General.

2000-2999 4 1

3000-3999 6 2

4000-4999 8 3

+1000 +2 +1

These numbers are all maximums - an army does not

have to include any characters, and can always

include fewer than indicated.

For Example: a 2000 point army could include a

Mercenary General (Lord), an Hireling Wizard

(Hero), an Mercenary Captain (Hero) and another

Mercenary Captain (Hero) i.e. 4 characters in total of

which one is a Lord.

Choosing Troops

Troops are divided into Core, Elite and Rare units.The following rules apply when choosing units.

Core units. The number of core units the army can

include is not restricted except by the number of

points available. You must include a certain number

of Core troops in the army if you wish, as detailed in

the table below. The army can consist entirely of

core units if you wish.

Special units. The number of Special units available

is restricted as detailed in the table below. You do

not have to field any Special Units unless you want

to.

Rare units. The number of Rare units is also

restricted as detailed in the table below. You do not

have to field any Rare Units unless you want to.

This schematic table illustrates how many Core

units you must field, and it gives a maximum

numbers for Elite and Rare Units.

Army List EntriesEach army list consists of the following:

Regiment name: The type of unit and any

limitations on the maximum number of choices youcan make for it (eg 0-1).

Profile: These are the characteristics of that unit

type, including its point cost. Where the unit has

different types of warriors, there may be more than

one profile.

Unit Size: Lists the minimum number of models

required in the unit, or the number of models you

may take for one choice from the appropriate army

list category. In some cases units have a maximum

size.

Weapons: These are unit's standard weapons,

Armour and equipment.

Options: Lists the different weapon and equipment

options for the unit and any additional point cost for

taking them. It may so include the option to upgrade

a unit member into a Champion. While this model

usually has a specific name (A Champion of a

Duelist Unit is called a Assassin, for example) all the

rules that apply to Champions apply to them. See

Characters section of the Warhammer Rulebook for

details.

Special Rules: This lists any special rules that apply

to unit. Where appropriate, a reference to the

Warhammer rulebook is included.

AUTHOR’S NOTES:

Well here we are again version 6.0 and now I’m starting to get happy with the end result so lets look at the big

changes of this edition in depth.

THE END OF REGIMENTS OF RENOWN:Ok sure they had been around last edition, but most were not cost affective thus never used and also an excuse for

some to suggest that they made up for the lack of magic items for mercenaries. RoR existing shall remain and work

in this list but are considered akin to special characters more then a real regiment.

WHY ALL THE LISTS:

Well being that WAB lists are able to cover huge swathes of the historical world and Warhammer Army books

have started to be very diverse in army selection such as Chaos, and Warhammer 40k has provided an extremely

varied Imperial Guard list that it perfectly balanced. So here is a break down of the general feel of armies.

TILEA- Sort of a late 14th Century Early 15th Century Italy feel. The State Militia is giving way to Mercenaries.

Diverse arms but a focus on Pikes and Crossbows.

ESTALIA- A mix and mash of Medieval Spain, Javelins characteristic of Iberia as well as the Sword andBucklermen who would emerge in the late 15th Century

BORDER PRINCES- Well my interest in the Hussites of Bohemia should be a bit evident here. Being that the

Border Princes is a sort of semi-feudal back water subject to lords and settlers first from Bretonnia and more

recently the Empire an Eastern European feel I thought in order. Certainly the US 5 protected light cannons may

not be a tough a Hussite Wagenburgs those troops generally given the task of dispatching artillery may have a bit

of trouble with flail armed crewmen.

CONTRACT ARMIES-Just the typical list that GW has been trying to produce for sometime with a few more

options. Of course the flexibility comes at the cost of having to suffer the Greed rule and the Paymaster problems.

Again another acknowledgment of Ugly Stunty (Morgan Bell) who long ago turned the DE preview list for the 6th

Edition into his own Dwarf list and which the Army List info section in the middle of the book is taken from. He

may no longer be about the online Warhammer community but he was a fine fellow. Also I think thanks to those

folks who actually read this are in order particularly the folks at WPS and now TWF who have often been subject

to DOW related post of mine on the forum and the many times lacking a proper topic in Chat I bounced may many

DOW thoughts off of.
