 THE ARMIES OF TILEA, ESTALIA, AND
THE SOUTHERN OLD WORLD.
THE MERCENARY WAY
All through the Warhammer world there are Mercenaries. They seek glory, adventure and above all gold. Tilea
has the largest population of resident Mercenaries but the Border Princes, the Southern parts of the Empire and
Estalia are also common haunts of Mercenary Officers. The following rules are those that apply to all (unless
otherwise noted) Mercenary Units.

GREED: Mercenaries love nothing more then gold (or some other valuable) and thus at times are bought off by
the enemy. At the start of the first Dogs of War turn each regiment must roll a D6 on a roll of a one the unit may
not move or fire that turn. Units that have been fired upon by the enemy need not roll.

The Greed rules also apply in the case of non-Dogs of War armies fielding Mercenary Regiments not just in a Dogs
of War Army.

FOR HIRE: DOGS OF WAR IN OTHER ARMIES

Mercenaries not only form the core of armies of the southern Old World but supplement other armies of the world
that may either be suffering a shortage of Warriors, wish not to use their own Warriors, or wish to prevent their
opponents from hiring the mercenaries for the previous reasons. All Mercenaries hired by other armies follow the
special equipment rules given for Contract Army selection.

BRETONNIA: Having suffered several humiliating defeats at the hands of Tileans both on Bretonnian and Tilean
soil as well as the chivalric distrust of one who would have faith only in pay Bretonnians may hire absolutely no
Dogs of War.

DWARFS: Dwarfs have an almost chronic shortage of warriors to deal with constant state of war in which they
live. Dwarfs employ humans, hold-less Dwarfs, Ogres, and at times Halflings as well. Dwarfs may field any of the
following units as rare choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites, Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry,
Halflings, Mercenary Dwarfs, Ogres, Norse Warriors, Light Cannon, and Horse Artillery.

DARK ELVES: Though it suffers themselves to do it Dark Elves at times will employ mercenaries to suppliment
their force. The odd band of Norscans, subjugated Greenskins, and other Elven companies of dubious origins have
often been found along with Druchii Raiders. Dark Elves may field any of the following units as rare choices:
Duelists, Light Cavalry, Norse Warriors, and Ogres.

CHAOS: Mortal and Beastmen leaders often find not so much mercenaries but those that have succumbed to the
siren call of the ruinous powers. Renegade Cultists, evil hearted Dwarfs, corrupted Elves, and Greenskins bent on
loot are the most common of mercenaries in the service of Chaos Warlords. Chaos Mortal and Beasts generals may
field any of the following units as rare choices: Duelists, Light Cavalry, Mercenary Dwarfs, and Norse
Warriors.

CHAOS DWARF: Though only a desperate mercenary would seek employment from Chaos Dwarfs it does happen
and most of the time it becomes a life contract. Brigands, Northern Tribesmen, Ogres, and a myriad of various
Greenskins are those that most often sell their swords to Chaos Dwarf Lords. Chaos Dwarf armies may field and of
the following units as rare choices: Light Cavalry, Duelists, Norse Warriors, and Ogres.

THE EMPIRE: The Empire above all other armies employs a wide variety of mercenaries and most Elector Counts
have their own personal regiments of Tilean Crossbowmen over the poor quality crossbowmen found in the
Empire, expatriate Dwarfs, and Halfling cooks. Imperial armies may include any of the following units as rare
choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites , Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Halflings,
Mercenary Dwarfs, Ogres, Norse Warriors, Light Cannon, and Horse Artillery.

HIGH ELVES: Insular they maybe but it is not for uncommon for expeditions to the southern continents to include
Mercenary contingents. Impressed Norscan and Tilean Sailors are the most common but when in need of brute
strength Ogres may find an Elf to pay them. High Elves may field any of the following units as rare choices:
Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites, Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Ogres, and Norse Warriors.

LIZARDMEN: Generally having limited dealing with all the other races of the world Lizardmen do use many
mercenaries when it suits the goals of the Old Ones. Tilean explorers, Northern colonizers, and stranded Elven
companies. Lizardmen may field any of the following units as rare choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites
Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Ogres, and Norse Warriors.

ORCS AND GOBLINS: Mercenaries sometimes join up for with warbands of Orcs or Goblins when they can be
bought off with promissory loot rather then gold. Hungry Ogres, treacherous Hobgoblins, the odd band of Human
Outlaws may all find a home among Orcs though it is rough company. Orcs and Goblins may field any of the
following units as rare choices: Light Cavalry, Ogres, and Duelists.

SKAVEN: Skaven are one of the worst employers for the prospective mercenary and varying level of distrust that
is found in most southern Old Worlders of the foul ratmen reduces greatly the numbers of mercenaries Skaven can
find to hire. Orcs, Hobgoblins, foolish human irregulars, and even a desperate group of Ogres may find their way
into the employ of Skaven Warlords. Skaven may field any of the following units as rare choices: Light Cavalry,
Ogres, and Duelists.

TOMB KINGS: On occasion a force of would be tomb raiders are inspired to serve a Tomb King and those that
have a great deal of rivals often employ mercenaries to counter the other would be robbers leaving the King
personal army to fight else where. Desert Nomads, Tilean Infantry, gold greedy Dwarfs, and adventurous Elves
may at times be seen marching with the Undead Legions. Tomb Kings may field any of the following units as rare
choices: Mercenary Pedites, Veteran Pedites, Duelists, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Mercenary Dwarfs,
Ogres, and Norse Warriors.

VAMPIRE COUNTS: Mercenaries who enter service of a Vampire Count or even a Necromancer often face not
only a job for life but one long after, there are even some Vampire counts that are aided by human auxiliaries
serving out of some twisted love for Vampire. Enthralled Mercenaries, listless dregs, and certain greenskins may
even be found in league with Vampire Counts. Vampire Counts may field any of the following units as rare
choices: Mercenary Pedites, Duelists, Light Cavalry, and Norse Warriors.

WOOD ELVES: Xenophobic Wood Elves almost never employ mercenaries. Wood Elves may never field any
Dogs of War.

ARMY COMPOSITION
The predominantly Mercenary Armies of the Southern Old World while consisting of generally the same troops,
very from region to region. The Pike and Crossbow are weapons much favored by those of Tilean extraction and
though an Estalian may also carry such weapons, Sword and Buckler and Handgun are preferred. The selection of
origin only alters the selection of certain regiments in the army, Non-human and Norse mercenaries are always
selected in the same manner regardless of origins of the army.
 TILEAN CITY STATES
The City States of Tilea are by far the greatest power in ESTALIA

feuds have been set aside to face a common foe one ofof Estalia. Estalia is dominated by two principle cities,

 BORDER PRINCES
Under Bretonnian, Imperial, and Tilean stewardship,
the petty Kingdoms of the Border Princes are the poorest
states of the southern Old World. Plagued by Orcs,
Goblins, Beastmen, and Brigands, only desperate
settlers attempt to make a living in the place.
Mercenaries however, live quite well with the constant
warfare the region provides. Those few local regiments
that can be mustered the Flail is the customary weapon.

ADVENTURING AND CONTRACT
ARMY
Fighting for one state or another is not enough for many
ambitious generals. Daily the ports of Tilea and Estalia
are filled with mercenaries signing on to private armies
that depart to plunder the known world and more often
then not the unknown. These contract armies consist of
a wide array of soldierly held together only for pay and
the promise of plunder. Sometimes these armies are
formed on contract to a wealthy lord, as it is not
unknown for, Imperial Counts in particular, entire
armies of mercenaries to serve in tasks that the lords
troops are either unwilling or unable to do.

THE PEDITES
At the core of every mercenary army throughout the
known world are Pedites, which is low Tilean for
Footmen.

STATE PEDITES BATTLE SKILLS:

Urban Militiamen form the core of most Southern
Old World states. Consisting of mainly middle-class
artisans, tradesmen, and lesser merchants, these men
serve out of duty to their city and are as well trained
as professional Mercenary Infantry or Imperial
Infantry.
MERCENARY PEDITES
Of course Cities can only put to field so many of
their own men and with the constant wars, in Tilea
particularly, contract soldiers are required to fill the
gap and provide expendable soldiers the Princes
petty wars. Occasionally unreliable, especially when
pay is in arrears, Mercenary Pedites provide service
to not only Tilea, Estalia, and the Border Princes but
the rest of the world as well.
VETERAN PEDITES
Mercenaries or City Militia troops of particularly
long service often form their own regiments made up
of hand picked recruits of suitably long service or
merit. These companies are the finest forces
available to hire as the are skilled in the art of war
and masters of their particular weapons.

at the start of the game however so the player using
flank march must write down on a piece of paper
whether it be the left or right flank. If the regiment

Bodyguard lives but under the normal rules (+2 for a
roll and the Ogre taking the hits instead).

list is constructed with this purpose in mind.

The list can also be used when playing specific

scenarios, either those described in the Warhammer
book or others including ones invented by the players
or a third party. In this case the list provides a
framework which the players or umpire can adapt as
required. It might, for example, be felt necessary to
increase or decrease the number of characters or
units allowed, or to restrict or remove options in the
standard list such as, magic items, monstrous
mounts, leaders, and so on. If you refer to the
Scenarios section of the Warhammer book you'll find
some examples of this very kind of thing.

AUTHOR’S NOTES:
Well here we are again version 6.0 and now I’m starting to get happy with the end result so lets look at the big
changes of this edition in depth.

THE END OF REGIMENTS OF RENOWN:

Ok sure they had been around last edition, but most were not cost affective thus never used and also an excuse for
some to suggest that they made up for the lack of magic items for mercenaries. RoR existing shall remain and work
in this list but are considered akin to special characters more then a real regiment.

WHY ALL THE LISTS:

Well being that WAB lists are able to cover huge swathes of the historical world and Warhammer Army books
have started to be very diverse in army selection such as Chaos, and Warhammer 40k has provided an extremely
varied Imperial Guard list that it perfectly balanced. So here is a break down of the general feel of armies.

TILEA- Sort of a late 14th Century Early 15th Century Italy feel. The State Militia is giving way to Mercenaries.
Diverse arms but a focus on Pikes and Crossbows.

ESTALIA- A mix and mash of Medieval Spain, Javelins characteristic of Iberia as well as the Sword and
Bucklermen who would emerge in the late 15th Century

BORDER PRINCES- Well my interest in the Hussites of Bohemia should be a bit evident here. Being that the
Border Princes is a sort of semi-feudal back water subject to lords and settlers first from Bretonnia and more
recently the Empire an Eastern European feel I thought in order. Certainly the US 5 protected light cannons may
not be a tough a Hussite Wagenburgs those troops generally given the task of dispatching artillery may have a bit
of trouble with flail armed crewmen.

CONTRACT ARMIES-Just the typical list that GW has been trying to produce for sometime with a few more
options. Of course the flexibility comes at the cost of having to suffer the Greed rule and the Paymaster problems.

Again another acknowledgment of Ugly Stunty (Morgan Bell) who long ago turned the DE preview list for the 6th
Edition into his own Dwarf list and which the Army List info section in the middle of the book is taken from. He
may no longer be about the online Warhammer community but he was a fine fellow. Also I think thanks to those
folks who actually read this are in order particularly the folks at WPS and now TWF who have often been subject
to DOW related post of mine on the forum and the many times lacking a proper topic in Chat I bounced may many
DOW thoughts off of.
