Dwarf Regiments Of Renown
Not a formal Regiment of Renown, this was released for the Dwarf Army in 1993. Bugman's Dwarf Rangers (Aug 1993) The Dogs of War The Dogs of War Regiments released in 1998-2004 were branded as Regiments of Renown, they can be seen in the 2005/6 US Complete Catalog Dogs of War Catalog Section. This page is part of the Stuff of Legends, a site dedicated to Science Fiction and Fantasy Gaming Miniatures. The brewing community of Bugman's Brewery, in fact a small town, had been founded in ages past by the great Samuel Bugman, Joseph's long-dead grandfather. By the time of the Goblin Wars Joseph was a prosperous and wealthy brewing merchant, and a reasonably passive and contented Dwarf.
The Story of Joseph BugmanJoseph Bugman was possibly the most famous Dwarf master brewer of all time. The brewing community of Bugman's Brewery, in fact a small town, had been founded in ages past by the great Samuel Bugman, Joseph's long-dead grandfather. By the time of the Goblin Wars Joseph was a prosperous and wealthy brewing merchant, and a reasonably passive and contented Dwarf. His small community lay well off the beaten track, away from the worst excesses of the fighting, and Joseph felt no inclination to meddle in what seemed to him to be a domestic quarrel.
After all 'Brass was Brass', and Bugman's Bitter sold well to Goblins and Dwarfs alike.Joseph found himself unexpectedly involved in the war when a convoy transporting Bugmans Best Bitter into the Troll Country was attacked by a rampaging Goblin band. Every last Dwarf was slain, including Samuel's only son Bono. The news came as a terrible blow to the old Dwarf, who instantly swore uncompromising revenge upon the Goblins for this foul deed of theft and murder. Without hesitation Joseph took up his sword and his armour and gathered a small band of his workers - all of whom had lost relatives or friends in the massacre.The band disappeared into the Bad Lands, and little was heard from them during the following years.
Rumours from the south told of the ravages of Bugman's Rangers, of cunning ambushes, of deadly nocturnal raids and the consternation of the Goblins.Eventually, wounded and deathly exhausted, Bugman and his now pitifully small band returned to their homes, only to fight their last battle defending Bugman's Brewery from the advancing armies of the Goblins. Joseph Bugman's body was never found, it is generally assumed that he died along with every other member of his Regiment and their families.Armament - Double-handed axe, hand axe, short sword and crossbow.Dress - The troops wear sturdy brewers buff coats, heavy earth coloured rough weather cloaks, buck-skin breeches and heavy boots. Mailarmour is worn underneath the buff coat.Shield - The shield design illustrated is that of the Bugman family.Battlecry - 'Mhinz Abeir' - shouted by half the company, to which the rest reply - 'Z'yor Rond' - Dwarvish, translation unknown.Leader - Samuel Bugman. Profile is as for a Major Dwarf Hero.
Leadership factor 5.Deeds - Bugman's greatest deeds must go forever unrecorded, all memory of them dying along with the Dwarf and his troops. His later life and struggle against the Goblins is itself a source of popular speculation and myth making. The invention of Troll Brew is considered by many to be his greatest achievement, however.Profile - 1st edition MWSBSSTWIAPoints3 1/2532C12113Profiles - 2nd editionMWSBSSTWIALdIntClWPPOINTSJoseph BugmanDwarf Mighty Hero91010167Jorj RuddleDwarf Champion9913Dwarf Trooper9911Standard = 55Horn = 22.
You missed a few equipment upgrades for characters in the Dogs of War army book such as bucklers, halberds, handguns and blunderbusses for them.Are you planning on making the army books contain all of the upgrades for creatures that were described in Storm of Magic, Monstrous Arcanum and the vanilla army books? Though tail and chomp attacks would probably no longer have the increased accuracy depending on what side the attack is coming from and would take a 5pt cost reduction in a few cases to go with it.The Arabyan elephant should be S6 W6, A5 to differentiate it from the Indan elephant. This is because in real life, there are two genuses to the Elephantidae family, the Elephas genus and the Loxodonta genus. The Elephas genus is in Asia and the Loxodonta genus is in Africa. There are a number of differences between these two genuses but the one most related to the war game is size, with the African averaging at 10.6 feet tall and the Indian averaging at 8.5 feet tall. Another interesting thing is that the five species of mammoth that are bigger than modern african elephants average at 13 feet tall.

Oh, and consider giving mammoths the stampede special rule that Arabyan and Indan elephants have to deal with. I see no reason why a Mammoth would be less belligerent than an elephant, especially if its chaos tainted.Lastly, in the case of certain monsters where it is randomly decided how they attack like giants, some of their attacks need to hit at the models current strength so that there is a purpose to casting strength buffing spells on these models. In addition, the Giant's Thump With Club should cause D6 instead of 2D6 wounds. It's pretty much the only result anyone wants when the Giant fights almost all monsters since the bell curve gives and average of 7 wounds which is more than enough to kill most monsters.
That was intentional, those weapons are not exactly commander weapons in Tilea. The Captain is more of a common warrior, hence he has more options.Probably not all, as some upgrades are fairly uninteresting and useless, and only serve to slow down the game if you are forced to keep rolling an additional attack with special rules.The Araby War Elephant is already tougher than the basic Indan Elephant. The Royal Elephant however, is on the same level as the War Elephant, but this is not the norm in Ind (hence the name 'Royal'). Mammoths have so many special rules already, I'd like to avoid giving them even more to keep track of. The Mammoth is also so large that it's easier to imaging it shrugging of wounds that would make a normal elephant panic.I'll look into the Giant rules, but right I'm planning on sticking with the official rules.
