Dogs of War (Warhammer)
Encyclopedia : D : DO : DOG : Dogs of War (Warhammer)
The Dogs of War are various fictional mercenary groups found in Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Almost any army in the game can hire these mercenaries for their own use, but there are certain restrictions; For instance, the vampire hunters Johann and Wilhelm are not allowed in a Vampire Counts army, for obvious reasons. The Bretonnian army does not allow the use of any mercenaries because they see this practice as dishonourable (though they are allowed to hire Gotrek and Felix). There is a wide variety of troops available, including assassins, Dragon riders, mutated bearmen, Corsairs, Goblin Wolf Riders and Orcish crossbowmen. Many of the Dogs of War regiments hail from Tilea, geographically analogous to Italy in the Warhammer world.
