Warhammer Army Project/Dogs Of War
Dogs of War: Warhammer Army Project, 8th Edition Tactica
Created by Mathias Eliasson, this project was a homebrew attempt at giving many of the nations and factions that never got Armybooks of their own (and those left behind and never got one in 8th Edition) such a thing.
It should also be noted that Eliasson is constantly updating his work, so don't expect this page to stay current forever. As of now: I'll be using the most current Dogs of War Armybook he has as of early-2017. If anyone wishes to actually update this page and the items that need it later on, go ahead.
Why Play WAP Dogs of War
Because you love making money and living the wild life of the mercenary. You can't stand the religiousness of Estalia, The Empire and Brettonia, and can't stand just earning standard pay for being another cog in their grinding machines. You also want to run an army full of vibrant characters, with units ranging from standard Pikemen to Maneaters to Hobgoblins! You also really like crossbows because they're far more reliable than blackpowder weapons. So get your paychest, grab some pikes and crossbows, hire some dirt poor sellswords and a few shady looking characters and fight across the Old World in search of Gold and Glory!
Army Special Rules
- Racial Distrust - units that are Dwarfs, Elves or Norse don't exactly get along when taken together; Dwarf Goldseekers can't join Mercenary Elves or Norse Marauders, Elf Rangers can't join Mercenary Dwarfs or Norse Marauders and Norse Chieftains can't join Mercenary Elves or Mercenary Dwarfs, and only units of their own kind can use their Leadership Value. You also can't have a character with Racial Distrust be the General and you can't have more characters with Racial Distrust than you have characters without it.
