Editing Dogs of War (section)

=5th Edition=
'''Here''' is where things finally get interesting for Dogs of War players, because ''this'' is the edition where they debut!

''Warhammer Armies: Dogs of War'' is the first every army book to represent the mercenary troopers of the Old World. With a cover art depicting a mixed force of [[human]]s, [[dwarf]]s, [[ogre]]s and [[goblin]]s, this book also doubles as the first ever major sourcebook on [[Tilea]], the Italy analogue of the Warhammer world, which has since languished in obscurity. This edition also saw the debut of the finalized iteration of the [[Regiments of Renown]], as well as the special characters of the Dogs of War army.

In fact, ''this'' iteration of the Dogs of War actually doesn't have rules for generic mercenaries at all! Instead, it consists of two halves; generic mercenary characters, in the form of a Mercenary General, Paymaster, Mercenary Hero, and Hireling Wizards, and then the Regiments of Renown. It promises the reader that future army books and articles in [[White Dwarf]] will expand the Regiments of Renown.

One other oddity of this iteration is that it is surprisingly humanocentric compared to the past array of mercenary forces, especially the 3rd edition one! Aside from Golgfag's ogres, Long Drong's [[Dwarf]] [[Slayer]] [[pirate]]s, and [[Asarnil the Dragonlord]], all your options are humans.
