Direwolf Dogs of War & Regiments of Renown FAQ - v7.02 Format Q = Question A = Answer S = Source Q. Where can I find the most up to date Dogs of War and Regiments of Renown army lists? A. In Warhammer Chronicles 2004. The army lists are also currently available for download on the Games Workshop UK website at: http://uk.games-workshop.com/dogsofwar/lists/ S. Warhammer Chronicles 2004 pages 54-69 / Games Workshop UK Website ***** Q. May an army which does not have a specific entry for Dogs of War in their Army Book or Army List hire and field Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown units? A. The rules for including Dogs of War in other armies are found in the Dogs of War army list and Regiments of Renown list. If the Army Book / Army List in question or the Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown list allow the Army Book / Army List in question to field Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown then it is legal to do so. For example, in the Orcs & Goblins army book (2006 version), the army book does not include any language about hiring Dogs of War, however as the Dogs of War rules allow Orcs & Goblins to field units of Dogs of War, it is still legal to do so. Orcs & Goblins may also hire the Regiments of Renown as outlined in the “For Hire” rules for each particular Regiment of Renown. S. Gav Thorpe – Warhammer Design Team / Dogs of War Army List / Regiments of Renown List ***** Q. Can Regiments of Renown or Dogs of War units be joined by non-Dogs of War Characters? A. No. S. Anthony Reynolds - Warhammer Design Team ***** Q. Is it legal for a living Dogs of War character, such as a Dark Emissary, to join an Undead unit? Likewise, is it legal for an Undead character to join a living Dogs of War unit, such as Dogs of War pikemen? A. The intention of the rules is that no, Undead units cannot be joined by non-Undead characters and vice versa. S. Anthony Reynolds - Warhammer Design Team ***** Q. Can other Warhammer armies hire non-named Dogs of War characters (i.e. Mercenary General, Hireling Wizard Lord, Paymaster, Mercenary Captain, Hireling Wizard) as a Rare choice? A. No, you can't field these types of Dogs of War characters unless you're a Dogs of War army. S. Ian Hawkes - Warhammer Design Team ***** Q. How are named standard bearers from Regiments of Renown handled in terms of capturing / losing standards? A. As named standard bearers from Regiments of Renown are classified as characters they should be handled as Battle Standard Bearers in terms of capturing / losing banners. S. Rulebook page 83 / Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation ***** Q. When charged by a chariot, do pike attacks go before impact hits? A. No. The Warhammer Design Team has specifically stated that impact hits always happen before everything else in a combat, unless specifically noted otherwise. Therefore chariot impact hits qualify as a being "entitled to strike first because of a special ability" which per the rules for pikes "will still strike before pike-armed models." S. Gav Thorpe - Warhammer Design Team / Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 57 / Rulebook page 63 ***** Q. When engaged in close combat with an enemy unit to their front, how many ranks do pikeman fight in? A. Provided the unit has enough ranks, four ranks if the unit was stationary or three ranks if the unit charged that turn as is outlined in the Fight In Ranks section of the Warhammer Rulebook. Note that in cases where a pikemen unit consists of three ranks or less, all the ranks will fight when engaged with an enemy unit to their front, regardless of whether the unit was stationary or charged that turn. S. Rulebook page 55 / Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 57 ***** Q. In the description for the Paymaster it indicates that he is treated exactly like a Battle Standard. Is he therefore a allowed to carry a magic banner? A. No. The reference in the Paymaster's rules directs players to treat the keys to the pay chest like a Battle Standard. Note that nowhere in the Rulebook does it state that a Battle Standard Bearer is entitled to carry a magic banner. It is the existing army books which explicitly state that Battle Standard Bearers may carry magic banners. The Paymaster is not explicitly given the ability to carry a magic banner in the Dogs of War army list, therefore, he may not. S. Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 57 / Rulebook page 82-83 ***** Q. Is it legal for a living character, such as a Mercenary Captain, to join an Undead unit (e.g. The Cursed Company)? A. The intention of the rules is that no, Undead units cannot be joined by non-Undead characters and vice versa. S. Anthony Reynolds - Warhammer Design Team ***** Q. What is the correct number of attacks for Long Drong's Slayer Pirates? A. Since the "Festooned With Pistols" special rule for the unit states they "gain an additional attack because they are fighting with a pistol in each hand", you should add 1 to the Attacks value in the displayed statline. Thus, Long Drong has 3+1=4 Attacks and each Pirate has 1+1=2 Attacks. S. Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 65 / Rulebook page 56 ***** Q. Are all the close combat attacks from Long Drong's Slayer Pirates considered to be S4 armour piercing attacks? Or is the unit only allowed to use their pistols as basic hand weapons in close combat? A. The Festooned with Pistols rule explicitly grants the unit S4 & armour piercing to all of the unit's attacks. Thus the unit has S4 armour piercing attacks in close combat. S. Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 65 / Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation ***** Q. Does Long Drong's Slayer Pirates have the ability to fire multiple shots due to the "Festooned with Pistols" special rule? A. Yes. the Slayer Pirates have "two or more pistols" and thus may fire 2x multiple shots with their pistols in the Shooting phase. S. Warhammer Chronicels 2004 page 65 / Rulebook page 57 ***** Q.
