Dogs of War

The Grand Mercenary Armies

One of my works in the recent years. Now why dogs of war? Dogs of war unlike others armies do not have a fixed army theme, it offer huge variety of choices and imagination for any army collector to explore. As a fan of conversion and variety, that made me wanted to create a theme for such unique armies and turn my imagination power into a reality.

Dogs of war has no fixed set of armies miniatures available, as such much of the miniatures need to be obtained from numerous miniature producers around the world. Fortunately, we do not need to rely on just one source, with the aids of internet power, it is now possible to acquire them easily. Still.....it took a great deal of conversions and brainstorming to make it work in the end. Unlike others, some 90% of this army was made up from several different miniatures collection and experienced the most variety of conversions.     

 

Merchant Princess. This model actually took a year to convert before arriving to this appearance. Not many good model for mounted armored female.	Merchant Princess. Parts assembled from 3 different brands of miniature product! GW, Reaper miniature and the sword from Gamezone series)	Merchant Princess, details of how I made this can be found here.

Pikemen. The core of the mercenary army. These miniatures were made up of combination of Crusader Miniatures models and Perry Miniatures models. Surprisingly, both sets matched rather well with each other.	Pikemen from Crusader miniatures and Perry Miniatures.	Pikemen from Crusader miniatures and Perry Miniatures.
