You guys loved my first video to kick off my Warhammer Dogs of War army, which worked out well for me because I was dying to do more! I painted up Lorenzo Lupo to start things going but now I've taken some time to strip/rebase/base everything I have already for Dogs of War(well, almost everything!) so you guys can get an idea of what's to come! It also helps me plan out what units will need the most time so I can keep this project moving along! Let me know what Dogs Of War unit you're most looking forward to seeing painted! If you have any of the models I'm in the market for, please let me know!
As always let me know what you think, plus suggestions for future Old World videos!
We don't have access to full editing this week but please ask any questions about paints etc and we’ll answer everything!
Check out the rest of my Old World playlist and let me know what you want to see soon!

@joebomberger Ай бұрын

Can confirm, I finished stripping a force of 30 empire knights and 20 crossbowmen with that recently. Although I was having a difficult time scrubbing primer out of the cracks on the crossbowmen. Still have some paint remnants on the minis because of that. I also find that 99% isopropyl will loosen/weaken super glue so you should be able to completely disassemble some models. Personally I needed a mask for that still, the alcohol starts to burn your lungs after a little while.

If you want the front row uniform can't you do like a small unit filler "diorama" with the leadership in the middle and designate three front row guys as tokens for gamings sake? For sure go for a full kislev detachment later! Lovely models and would fit just fine as its already a big mix of esthetics. Only you have to get the "wing" glued on to the back of the bannerbearer for the winged hussars. Drives me crazy thats he's missing his! :D Also, the leaders of roman legions had their crest sideways to distinguish them from the regular troops who have the "straight" mohawk crest. So Lorenzo fits just fine!

For stripping acrylic paint from plastic, just use some 90% or higher rubbing alcohol. Let them soak in it for about a half hour and you can tooth brush it right off. Sometimes if they have a LOT of paint it'll take a couple of soaks but it'll get them clean. Give them an hour to dry, give a second scrub under water, to get the alcohol residue off, and you should be good to go.

I am also running my halflings in place of peasants. DoW are my favourite mini line GW ever produced - most of mine are converted to wield lasguns as guardsmen (Leopard, Besiegers, Lost Legion, Marksmen), based as Rough Riders, or slotted in to various Mordheim warbands. Even my galloper guns are sporting autocannons (which is a pity, I would convert them back if I could find the original cannon part). Having spent months drilling out slots in 25mm square bases, cutting of the tabs was sacrilegious, but also the right call.

Unfortunately due to having over 3k points of Lizardmen, Vampire Counts, Wood Elves, and A small lot of High Elves I just did not have the storage space necessary to devote to them. The unit that I do recall wanting to make was (I dont remember the name) the character that had some sword that whenever it would kill an opposing model you would recreate a skeleton copy of it in his unit. At the time GW had a bits order catalog that had the skeleton versions of a dwarf, a skaven, a lizardman, etc. and I dreamed of placing that unit on the battlefield. Thank you for sharing!

Watching your work and how you're able to "dumb things down" for painting and all of that has been a huge thing for me. My own dream armies are my own sculpts for 30K Wordbrearers and Ultramarines, same for 40K. Both sprinkled with the stuff like Swords of Calth, Ventris and Ventanus, etc. Similarly with the Old World I just keep thinking of things to create for it. As far as I can remember, they'd even be legal for play in WH World, even if they were 3D printed. They'd be fully mine, not someone else's. Back in the day when I was applying for a couple of positions at GW, one of the digital products I wanted to produce for them was a VR hangout where you could play the games in peace with others, learn them. Free play stuff, but you could also build your own digital army there. You purchased physical product and you'd get the same in VR, with VR you'd have gotten a coupon you could redeem to get smaller price for the product. You could have taken any model in VR, base it, change it, it'd be watermarked and then purchase the STL or print for it from GW. Then just paint it in VR to decide on the scheme or for your army, as well as paint it IRL. So the dream of fully my own armies has been with me for a long time.

11:35 tip: put a little "puddle" of bicarb under each foot before you glue the mini down. Hold him in place then add a drop of CA. The bicarb soaks up the glue and fills the gap somewhat. Virtually instant bond, and rock solid. No propping miniatures up. Cheap as chips, too!

A very nice army, I wish I had bought the miniatures when they came out. I'm looking forward to seeing the painting process of the whole army. Small note, they are called alcatani fellowship, not alicanti ;)

Good morning. Thank you for this return to my youth! I also have a Dog of War army, but much smaller than yours! It's a superb project, and to follow it I'm subscribing. On the other hand, what rule are you going to play them with please? I don't believe there is an official PDF, but I would like to know the rules you will use. Thank you in advance, and good luck!

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

I shall be running them as empire. I can find units to match most things. Should be easy enough. Glad you’re joining along.

@MrEthicsgradient Ай бұрын

That’s shaping up very nicely! Two Halfling hotpots is definitely a result! I’m not 100% certain, but I think you may have the musicians in the armoured pikes (Republican Guard) and crossbows (Braganzas Besiegers) swapped? I could well be wrong. Sadly I have no spare horses to offer, I struggle to find enough for all my Empire knights and pistoliers. The character holding out the sword with the missing arm should have a raised, clenched fist. I have a spare of the model, but unfortunately also missing the arm :-(

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

Cheers I shall have another look. It should be a fun project.

Best thing for stripping paint of plastic or ressin is just rubbing alcohol but leave the minis soaking in it for two days then brush them with a tooth brush in REALLY hot water

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

I mite just have to try that.

What will you run the army as? Empire or bretonnian exiles or allies in both? Bretonnian exiles is fab and lets me use the new cities of sigmar as decent proxys

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

Empire is my plan I think there is enough cross over that o can make it work but using allies nite be a good idea as well.

Very lovely! Can you post a list of things you need? Or wantni have some spares and a group of friends i could ask around in for you. Also, for the pike block, why not add 2 bretonnian to the command bases for some spikes or make a filler/diorama of the command and put them in the middle? Also i think i might join the dow painting with you :)

I am a happy owner of all RoR that GW released for DoW and a couple of basic units, like duelist and fast cavalry using kislevit horse archers also a friend of mine give me a 30 man strong unit of Elven Scarlock Archers, they were never realeased at any book or amy lists for DoW, unfortunately it's a dead army, but the most beautiful, that's no doubt.

A reasonable price/accessable option for cleaning plastic miniaturesis Fairy Power spray , not as good as it used to be, but I bought a bottle last month to clean up some rogue trader Rhinos and a Land raider, and it still works (with a bit of patients, needs soaking time.) Keep up the good work, I have been enjoying your old world series of videos.

Fairy power spray is still available?! I thought they stopped it. Best thing I ever used for stripping.

@@Alf_Hairy-arse I know, i havent seen it for a few years, but B&M had it in last month so picked up a few bottles. From the results, they appear to have altered the product, doesnt seem as strong, but it still takes the paint off and the plastic is still unaffected.

Those Kislevites would look great painted in the colours of Gryphon Legion - and that would fit well in the "Dogs of War" theme, since they spend most of the time as the mercenaries.
