Dogs of War Update

I completed more Voland’s Venators this weekend for the Dogs of War army.  I won in an eBay auction from a guy in Australia.  They came with these old edition Chaos Knight horses which led me to paint the shields differently.  Originally I was going to paint them all the same and use just the red lettering on the general to make him stand out.  I felt that these called for a more sinister look and decided on the black and red shields. In addition to those knights, I also finished on with white shields to bring that unit up to 7 figures. 

This group of mercenaries has spent time against the dark lords of Chaos and may have returned tainted. 

I’m very pleased with the look of this army so far.  

I’m back to my Stirland Army currently.  Working on 8 knights and I have some crossbowmen from TAG ordered for the DoW army.  The two forces are shaping up nicely!

So far this year I have completed:

16 handgunners

5 pistoliers 

9 Voland’s Venators 

Empire/Dogs of War

Now that the High Elves are pretty much completed they’ll need an opponent or two. I’ve started an Empire and Dogs of War army late last year.  Eventually, I hope they’ll be large enough to be two separate Armies. I imagine the Empire will eclipse the DoW eventually simply due to the ease of acquiring figures.

First up for the Empire:

Pistolliers 

Archers

A warrior priest

For the Dogs of War:

General

Voland’s Venators/heavy cavalry

Figures on hand to paint:

5 more pistolliers 

16 hangunners

8 Empire Knights

9 more Voland’s Venators

I’ve made a lot of progress with the pistolliers and handgunners and expect to complete them this weekend. 

So far 2018 has been great as far as the hobby goes.  Need to get some games in and keep play testing the rules I’ve developed.
