The '''Dogs of War''' are various mercenary groups found in ''Warhammer Fantasy Battles''.  Almost any army in the game can hire these mercenaries for their own use, but there are certain restrictions; For instance, the vampire hunters Johann and Wilhelm are not allowed in a [[Vampire Counts]] army, for obvious reasons. The [[Bretonnia|Bretonnian]] army does not allow the use of any mercenaries because they see this practice as dishonourable (though they are allowed to hire [[Gotrek and Felix]]).  There is a wide variety of troops available, including assassins, [[Dragon]] riders, mutated bearmen, Corsairs, Goblin Wolf Riders and [[Orc|Orcish]] crossbowmen. Many of the Dogs of War regiments hail from [[Tilea]].
