The Regiments of Renown
The “Dogs of War” heading includes the Regiments of Renown. The name “Regiments of Renown” was used prior to the introduction of the Dogs of War concept for certain units led by a particular hero and they were given rules in White Dwarf and sold as boxed sets. Again there are limitations on use, for instance regiments such as Bugman’s Dwarf Rangers or “Prince Ulther’s Dragon Company” can only fight with groups from their own race. “Ancient Astronauts” can join any race in the world of Warhammer because they are the creators of all.
Ancient Astronauts
The ancient astronaut is a scientific hypothesis that posits that intelligent extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth and made contact with humans in antiquity and prehistory. Proponents suggest that this contact influenced the development of human cultures, technologies, and religions. A common claim is that deities from most, if not all, religions are actually extraterrestrial in nature, and that such visitors’ advanced technologies were interpreted by early humans as evidence of divine status. Once a while a scout unit is deployed to Earth for routine survey. The members of the unit will participate various human activities in disguise and report back to their superiors.
