One of the things I've been most excited about with the launch of The Old World is being able to have the excuse to dig out all those forgotten projects like my planned Dogs of War army! Although known as Regiments of Renown, this army can consist of armies or mercenaries loyal only to those who pay them enough to stick together! You might even recognise them from Total Warhammer 3! If you're the type of person who gets bored painting armies, the variety might be a great choice for you! I have thought about this army a lot and I decided not to wait anymore! I hope you enjoy this first look at my newest army project but I'll still be trying to finish the other armies I've already started too! As always let me know what you think, plus suggestions for future Old World videos!
We don't have access to full editing this week but please ask any questions about paints etc and we’ll answer everything!
Basing scheme:
AK Terrain Dark Earth texture paste
Ryza Rust (dry) brush
Screaming Skull (layer) dry brush
I add flock/tuffs once the unit is complete!

Thanks for checking out the video! - Jak na to + styl
Absolutely keep the old world coming. The mercenary army sounds awesome. Also love the bits of lore, both GW lore and your personal army lore. The questing night champion lore you created for the obnoxious blind knight was a blast to listen to.
Hahaha glad you liked it.
As someone who loves mercenary armies, I want more.
As you wish! More on the way very soon!
yeah man would love to see a full old school dogs of war force with loads of ROR in it!
Ye it’s going to be a great project.
What a sculpt! And beautiful paint job as always! Loving seeing these old school models. Please keep them coming 😁. Very keen to follow the Dogs of War project
I shall keep them coming don’t worry about that.
Awesome! I love the dogs of war back in the day, mostly as i am a sucker for lore and units with unique lore were great. I had the Lumpin Coop Fighting Cocks unit once upon a time, sadly disappeared now, but would look forward to seeing that on the painting table!
A personal project you are inspired by would be grand, similar with Grail/Questing Knoght, passion makes art. And it has such an array you can show off several colours and techniques.
Glad you’re excited pal. It’s going to be so fun. I’m
I'd love to see Al Muktar's Desert Dogs, or Oogla Khan's Wolfboyz
Don’t have either of those units unfortunately
Just remembered, while there are four different poses for the Alcatani, and indeed the other pike Regiments as well, there are actually 20+ individual sculpts for them. I'm guessing they were the first regiment the Perry's did, as the other Pike Regiments have significantly less individual poses
I think I would have most of them. I did a massive session getting models cleaned up and rebased for a video out tonight. I think you will enjoy it.
Looks awesome, I'd love to see you paint the pelts on some of the Leopard company 🙂
I wish I had a unit of those but I don’t :-(
Love this idea wish I had the spare cash and confidence in painting metal sculpts!!bring on Asarnil!!!!!oooh or Borgio the besieger
I have a good bit already but yes quite a bit to get also. It should be a really fun project.
Thanks for another great video Andy! I hadn't even considered Dogs of War for Old World, but as you say, they offer a lot more variation than state uniformed troops, so totally agree with you there. That said, I'd love to see the Kislev models you mentioned!
Yes I need to get stuck into that project.
Yes, to more Dogs of War content and the building of the army.
Glad you’re excited.
I had some Bearman of Urslo in my Chaos army, back in the day. My army had an 'ice and snow' basing scheme, so I painted them as polar bears and everybody - EVERYBODY! - always commented on them. You should definitely go ahead with your Dogs of War army!
Yep you should have. Would have been awesome.
I wish I had the money when these first came out to have gotten the lot! Long Drong and his mates and Lumpin Croop and his lads still have pride of place on my shelf after all these years. Also have the Desert Dogs, the "twin" giants and Druid, and a few others. I can't wait to see you do this army mate!
You have some great stuff there I’m very jealous.
Dogs of War always was my favorite army, rarely got to play them after 5th and 6th ed.
Such. Shame.
Lovely looking general, i remember them being released...time marches on.
I would love to see more Dogs of War, especially the Birdmen of Catrazza, they and the Galloper Guns were my favourites from the range.
I have both and built them both yesterday. So you’re in luck.
Kinda funny how this old miniature still manages to look much better than Warlord Games' current range of romans in the Hail Caesar range.
I think that the Dogs of War would be the only thing that could get me invested in the Old World, the other factions are cool and all but the Dogs of War are something else.
Ouch. Shade thrown. They are amaizng.
Love this model and the army idea (as crazy as it is)! 😂 Would love to see this project develop. 👍
Hahhaa it is for sure a bit mental
I'd seen plenty of the old DoW minis but never seen him before! 🤩 he's a peach! Can't wait to see more!
Yeah he seems to be pretty rare! Glad you’re looking forward to more!
Ooooh when you mentioned Dogs of War in your patreon vid (that's a plug) I remembered the 'roman soldier guy with his retinue of guys with leopard pelts' from about 20 years ago but I couldn't remember his name. Still a great sculpt.
I wish I had those guys. And thanks for the plus lol.
DoW! Another nostalgia hit, love it!!!
Glad to hear.
You could get shields for the state troopers and reflavor it as heavy armor. Nothing in the rules say you can't use a shield and spear together.
That’s true.
that’s awesome ! It would be great if you could make a video showing off all the models that compose the army that you are planning to paint 🤩🥳
Oh I will be doing that for sure don’t worry.
Top class, Andy. Love the old Dogs of War army and can’t wait to see yours take shape. Amazing Old World content as always!
Thanks so much, very excited to do more with it’
I need GW to release an official Dogs of War army for TOW. As much as I love all the original units, releasing new ones for the new time period would be even more amazing. I do also want to build a Tilea themed Empire army so I guess I could create my own period appropriate mercenaries and do it that way too.
That is a dream I will follow along with. Let’s hope together.
I still have Asarnil the Dragonlord on the Green Dragon, I’m so glad that younger me bought it as I’ve seen it go around $700+ AUD on eBay recently
You lucky b*****d
Mydas the Mean is not the guy in the cart. He is the armoured guy that came with the set. The one in the cart is Sheikh Yadosh, his moneylender.
Yep I only found that out on my last stream. I’ve been wrong for 20 years lol.
I never played the original WH, however I always thought that the Dogs of War were the coolest part. Put me down for wanting to see more!
Haha I shall indeed.
As a fellow 🐕 of War, I love this. Keep going!
Thanks man, lots more to come!
I loved the old Dogs of War range, can't wait.
Glad your excited.
Good video as always, Andy. If you want some good proxy models for your DoW army, I recommend Perry Miniatures 1450-1500 range of kits or any models revolving around the Italian Wars of the early 16th century. There's a video on CZcams interviewing the Perrys and they mention people used Dogs of War miniatures as historicals.
I need to watch that interview.
Hell yeah we're interested. Dogs of war are brilliant!
Love to hear that, so many plans!
I am sure the unit with heavy armour and pikes could be used as something like Greatswords? There wasn't exactly a Greatsword analogue in the Dogs of War, so it's not treading on any toes.
The Birdmen would make a great stand-in for Pistoliers.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with these.
Ye I was thinking great swords with spears. Surly people won’t mind.
Awesome idea and love hearing the lore and backstory to minis!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Alcatani not Alicanti! Leopolds Leopard Company. Lumpin Croops Fighting Cocks, Braganza's Besiegers, I think that's the ones you were referring too
Pretty much yes. Can’t wait to get them done.
@@MediocreHobbies Looking forward to it. I've done Midas and a few Bodyguard. I'm using the Averlander minis for the bodyguard. I should get back to them, got a bit hung up on a basing theme
Ave Lorenzo! Never seen him before, he does look amazing. It'd be cool if there'd be an entire roman Phalanx to go with him tbh. Gotta love the idea of heavily armored infantry blocks with rows of spears and shields interlocking to be a fighting brick. Kinda what I picked up my Tomb Kings for; they kinda fit that theme quite well and Egypt was tied to Rome. I kinda want the old metal Maiden Guard and Alarielle but they're way too expensive to consider. I wonder if GW will reissue them as a "Made to Order" sale when the High Elves come out... that'd be cool. I'd definitely consider a unit of 20 Maiden Guard and Alarielle to go with them if they did.
For now I can't paint too much, last thing I finished was my Duke on Hippogryph; hope you liked the pictures on Twitter, it was a blast to build. XD
Yeah the maiden guard are nice I did manage to pickup that set with alarielle back in the day but I still need to find the champion at a decent price on eBay…
@@AM-uw3gp Local store has the lot of them on sale but it's 75 bucks per 5 normal guard, 60 for Alarielle, 75 for the 3 command mini's so in total that's almost 400 bucks for a unit and Alarielle which I deem.... well over what is fair.
1000% yes to maiden guard.
I love the old Dogs of War range. Great to see them still being used in games - and I love the colour scheme on this. I can copy this for a Blood Bowl team I'm planning 😆
Oh great idea, would be perfect for blood bowl team colours!
Go for a couple of large units of pikes. They look great when ranked up
Oh that’s the plan for sure.
keen for more DoW units - or just more great content!!
Haha cheers pal.
I still have, I forgot the name, but the guys in morians with crossbowmen in the front rank and pikemen in the back! Still unpainted.
You lucky duck.
Great project I just recently sold my Riccos Republican Guard, and Beorn and the Bearmen of Ursula, plus mounted mercenary General
Dam I’m to late lol.
real nice model and paint job.
Thank you very much!
Lovely mini, never heard of DoW before. I was late to the WHFB party. Be an interesting army to see grow and follow along. I think the shield you picked fits right in amd a good decal choice as well.
Ye I’m so happy with it. And glad you’re excited for the journey.
I dream of getting my hands on Long Drong Slayers Pirates again one day
Ye my fiend has them. So annoyed. Mite try and steel them lol.
I haven't seen this model an amazing classic looking sculpt though!
Glad you liked it. Great model.
Let me be one of many to say - DO IT ANDY!! I have a great big DoW army over here in the US so I'd love to see you bring them to life across the pond. Love the content- don't stop.
Love it! If you have photos of your army I’d love to see it!
@@MediocreHobbies absolutely! I haven’t looked as of yet but I assume there is an email address in the video description?
@@lonestarminis its mediocrehobbiesireland@gmail.com
Interesting, the ancestors sound like Romulus and Remus.
Oh you picked up on that lol.
@@MediocreHobbies Of course, the creation of Rome is an extremely well known myth. At least in Finland.
Great idea. Sign me up
Done!
looks amazing i forgot this guy existed, i remember the dogs of war coming out i started it then i didnt get very far with it but it was good fun......would love to see you do the horse drawn canon unit.....
I have one and will 100% be doing home as a video.
Really excited to see this project develop based on how great your Bretonnian videos have been. When I was interested in WFB the DoW were one of those things I was most fascinated by. It certainly doesn't hurt that the Perrys sculpted so much of the range (and I guess I shouldn't be suprised I'm more interested in historicals these days).
Great choice of shield for that conversion and really happy to see you get to use your orange and black after all!
Cheers pal. Ye it makes sense when you know who sculpted them for sure.
Oh, what have you started now…?
Seriously though, as a proud DoW army owner, I’d be quite excited to see what you make if it, particularly as it sounds like you have lots of units I don’t, and if they’re all as good as this one.
Crack on!
Thanks man! Would love to see yours if you have photos of it posted anywhere! Always looking for inspiration!
This’ll likely get held for review by CZcams but here goes. I need to get some decent shots of them, but you can see a lot of it here:
anotherslipperyslope.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-fluffy-kittens-of-war.html?m=1
Be gentle, most of these were painted almost two decades ago!
Definitely thought you were starting a Roman Republic army, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve never seen this model and hope the Dogs of War keep coming.
Yeah he’s not not you’d expect to see but overall the whole army makes sense 😄 definitely a lot more to come!
Bring on the pike blocks! Dogs of War is basically my favorite range of sculpts, I can't wait to get mine back on the table too. Have fun with the project!
They are a stunning range. And will take quite a bit of work to get them all together and looking well.
Brilliant, inspired to pop the seal on my own and get the collection started.
Please do! We can keep each other going!
So jealous! I love the Dogs of War range, but never had a chance to pick any of them up.
Shame. There so expensive these days.
Dogs of war, now there’s a blast from the past, they were released around the same time as they released the siege rules and the big plastic castle right? Would be very interested in you showing a whole army project.
I plan to pal. I have most of the siege stuff as well the battering ram and some tower.
I frigging love this! DOW were my first WFB love. I had them all, led by Borgio the Besieger and his spiked cannonball mace. Ah I’m getting all misty eyed at this. Only got the Giants of Albion left - that’s Bollogs, Cachtorr and Hengus the Druid. Overjoyed to see you paint old Lorenzo.
There so hard to get you lucky duck. Shame you don’t have the rest.
Do love that song... You got to do some units and such as homage to it and AC/DC to see if they notice. :)
Haha true.
Super awesome I’m excited to follow along. I was just looking up rules to use some as proxy Allies:)
Nice.
I haven't seen that Model in a long time, I was 13 when I got into this hobby, 39 now. so maybe when I was 15 I got to play a demo game playing the dogs of war, was a total blast.
Oh that’s a cool memory to have with the army!
God I remember the pikemen
There so nice.
I’m down to see more dogs of war I think they’re super cool! And I know you like orange, but orange and black just screams Halloween to me lol. You should paint them orange and blue for the channel colors if you do the whole force one color!
Halloween is the best season, nothing wrong with that 😄
@@MediocreHobbies that’s very fair lol
100% here for dogs of war and anything old world. I’m building an averland force up at moment
Oh awesome! Tag me if you post your stuff anywhere!
@@MediocreHobbies I’ll dm on insta dude, think I’ve already dm’d you
Great painting as usual. Since the time is so much sonner perhaps he is The Lucian, founder of the city. Although I'm not into the old world, currently, your enthusiasm spurred me into tackling my cities of sigmar for the dawnbringers campaign GW just started for the lead up to 4th edition.
Cities of Sigmar is one of the nicest armies out there! I’m trying to figure out if I can bring them into old world because I don’t get to play much age of Sigmar anymore but those models are too beautiful to waste!
Looking nice! Inspiring me to finish my few projects with my own empire to get both my Dogs of War and Kislev forces finished too!
Oh awesome, yes let’s get them done together!
Oh wow I’ve seen him recently
He is a great piece
@@MediocreHobbies oh he is it didn’t save him from my vampires!
Nice model and interesting project. There's a fun video (on YT) where the Perry's talk about creating the Dogs of War and the thinking behind each unit.
Oh i need to find that.
This one doesn’t do it for me but I love the passion so happy to watch more
Appreciate that man, can’t hide my love for this army 😄
Got this model a couple months ago thanks for the inspiration.
Oh nice, hope you didn’t have to pay too much for him’
Yes please. I'm working on this army too atm!
Oh sweet! We can encourage each other!
Actually Andy, if you'd like a great "unit filler" for your Dogs of War army - I had several "Roman" inspired STL's of Ogre Mercenaries in my last Kickstarter campaign. They could fit right in the ranks of that guy! Let me know if you'd like to see them - and maybe even add them to your ranks! ^^
I have received the gift pal. Thank you so much. I shall do a test print and see how they fit.
DoW ey!? Holy Shit yes!!!! I already liked the channel but if you start a DOW project then I'm on board 1000%!!!
Haha thanks man
Yes! I love army projects! And the old dogs of war are very cool, hope you have a good savings account.
Hahahah I have a lot of them from before but will for sure have to spend to get some more.
DoW - cool! Orange and black - double cool! Keep it up
Haha cheers pal. I will.
Looks fantastic
Thanks man, excited to keep going now!
🎉🎉🎉 When will you paint Pirazzo’s Lost Company? They’re super cool and I love his inspiration, rules, unique formation 😊😊😊
I shall do my best to get them done soon pal.
i hope you have enough models already else it will cost you a lot :) i had a few of those units, one of those pike units and the crossbow with the large shields and the heavy cavalary and the paymaster off corse.
I’m naive about half of what I want. So I only need to sell one kidney lol
YES!!! Dogs of War are awesome af! I’ve been slowly trying to get an idea of what to do for Dogs so this is perfect! I intend to start a Tilean force and will be doing what you are in terms of using as Empire and hoping we get some actual DoW rules in the future!
Nice to see Lupo and what a great little kit bash with them. Tilea FTW!!!
Edit: if you do more do you intend to do some of the Besiegers?
Tilea is my favorite of the DoW so super stoked for this!
Ah, got further and you mention the Besiegers (crossbowmen with shields) plus you have halfling it’ll be great to see these definitely got at least one here who will watch emphatically!
Glad to hear you like them I’m excited to get stuck into them.
I almost missed that one
Glad you caught it!
Hell yes!!
🙌🙌
I have this exact model and I too, am missing the shield! 🤣
Hahaha I wonder what happened to them 😂
@MediocreHobbies I have a funny feeling I used mine for a kitbash and then sold the resulting model on Ebay haha
heck yeah!
🙌
So I have no personal interest in the old world, but I like the idea of watching along as you build your army. DoW were a great army.
Really appreciate that man, thank you!
would a shield of the old blazing sun shields be a better choise?
Yes it would have been but I love how he turned out. So I’m gonna leave him lol.
I bought a bunch of dogs of war models back in the day and they have performed better than my stocks 😂
Hahahaha Warhammer is always a solid investment 😂
i will scour through my collection. maybe i can find midas. if thats the case i'll send the model to you but i doubt that i will find all of it.
I actually have mr mean always but that was such a kind offer. Maybe you can fine him and pint along when I do him.
I may be remembering wrong, but didn’t a Dogs of War army require a “Pay Chest” cart model to be used as they need to be paid… would love to see your scheme for that.
Awesome job as ever.
Oh that’s coming, don’t worry! I planned to start the army with it but it will take more than a day to paint so needed to plan ahead more 😄
Didn't he had the rules that you had to role for a battle to see what kind of sport he had been training for which resulted in having a certain special benefit for a battle?
Actually don’t have there book. How silly is that. I need to get one.
I bought this model when it came out and still haven't built or painted him! Love this model
No excuses now! Get him done’
Love Tilea, they are basically Ancient Greeks with a sprinkling of Romans, including Lorenzo who has a Greek sword and Hoplite shield. Always wanted the pikemen but so expensive.
There so so cool can’t wait to get stuck into the force proper.
I’ll be honest I saw the thumbnail and thought you were going to proxy models from another game for Old World.
I am curious about the “Bird-man” models, crossbowman with a set of wings? Kind of want to see that has well as the Paymaster, also great work on the model as always!
I have them! And yes they’ll be coming to the army soon! I wanted to start with the paymaster but I couldn’t fit it into my week so I needed a smaller model instead 😄
I had that codex. I really wanted to put that army together but I was working a lot and it was never done.
Yeah timing doesn’t always work out with certain armies!
There's a copy of that shield on ebay right now... This project rocks! I'll buy it and send it your way if you think you'd still maybe want it? Though what you did looks super baller too... Just a thought, and wanted to add some support, not being able to commit to monthly patreon payments ATM...
I very much appreciate the offer pal. But I shall stick with me current shield I mite change it at the end of the project if I have a very original project on my hands. And I understand not everybody can do the Patreon watching liking and being subscribed is an amazing help. Thank you.
How would you go about doing Stone Trolls?
I plan on doing a video for them so don’t worry.
Thanks for the video! Any advice on painting metal minis compared to plastic?
Always varnish them afterwards! Other than that, there’s not a huge difference. Try to have reference photos if some of the detail is lost when you’re trying to pick it out at the start and make sure you hold it in a way that is comfortable. You’d be surprised how heavy the model gets while you’re painting. Same with the base, make sure it’s not going to topple over when you put it down.
was an absolute fan of WHFB, but never liked the Dogs of War. They were very dorky and didn't look they would fit. Well, that was the point, I guess.
Harsh words lol. But each other’s own.
A figure from the time when GW could still produce cool figures!
That’s just not true lol. They make the best miniatures in the word.
@@MediocreHobbies They used to, but what they do now can't hold the candle to what they used to do nor to so many different offers that are around nowadays. But if you like them, more power to you.
