Inspired by my love for Mengil Manhide and his Manflayers, I want to know what Dog of War units you would consider fielding in your army!

Look here for reference if you are not sure

Soo many choices!!

Cursed Company are pretty intensely awesome, as are the manflayers and the goblin hewer.

Just too many choices for me.

I just kinda picked randomly the orks seemed pretty cool so they got my vote.

I wish they still had Fimir. And the old Hobgoblins. I still have a ton of minis from those.

I went with Bronzino's Galloper Guns. I like the figures and the tactical options they bring to an army that might otherwise be bereft of artillery.

Hi there Kheotour,

If you're no longer interested in your hobgoblins, they fetch quite a good price on eBay now days. I sold all mine to help fund a my Empire army. I suspect Fimir are worth even more.

I think hobgoblins can still be used in the Chaos Dwarf army list. Try checking Games Workshop (I can't log into their site from work so I'm not sure of the link)

Here's a link to the GW US quick reference sheets (Chaos Dwarfs might be there):-

I'm can't remember if Chaos Dwarfs are there or not.

Hey Kheotour, could you post some pics of your Fimir? I've always thought they were really interesting but it's so hard to find much on them on the internet.

@Sugmar, I agree, I've been thinking about creating my own Galloper Gun since the actual models are so hard to find. It would be a very nice addition to almost any army. Maybe I'll make it Dark Elf themed..

@Scurrdi, if they didnt cost so much Cursed Company would be a very nice choice

Tizz, thats what I like most about Dogs of War, they are very customizable. Just get some dark elf figs (bolt thrower crew or corsairs or some such) and use the bits from the Empire artillery set (along with a dark rider) and you've got your team together!

It'd be a fun project, one I'd love to see done personally!

Oh thats a great idea, scurrdi! I even have a couple extra bolt thrower crew laying around. THen I can use Malus' Cold one (cause I'd never use him) to pull the cannon...Now I just need the canon. Anyone have ideas for a nice thin caliber cannon?

Sure, let me see if I can borrow my friends camera and I will give it a shot. I must warn you though, they are not painted. I tend to be lazy in the painting department. I have about 12 or so of them. A friend of mine recomended using Ogres as allies and then just use my Fimir minis. So I think I will try that. So my cyclopian friends may see combat once again. muhahaha. I may do the same with my hobgoblins... use them as orc allies if I can.

Sweet, I will give that a look see. I know they have changed the hobgoblins in the past 20 years. They used to be tall and big like orcs, but now I think they are small and squaty like runty gobos. I will try to put them in the picture with the Fimir if I can get my roomie to lend me his camera.

Using them as Orgers would actually be a good idea, especially if they are the right size. Can give your army a paticular theme to it.

For example, I plan on using my Kossar models as Flaggents to keep up the Kislev theme.

How good are the manflayers???
