After the Dogs of War forum closed down, I've lacked a place to really put these, but hopefully this new forum can help me to get motivated to actually finish some more units for my Dogs of War army! This does some with the caveat that I cannot paint particularly well (as you'll see by the images), and progress may be slow, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless.
13 Cursed Company with the old Citadel Plague Cart as a counts-as 8 model unit filler. I also have an old Citadel Skeleton Cavalry model that will be a counts-as 2 model filler to bump the unit up to 23, which I'll try and fill out to 25 or 30 if/when I am able to pick up some more models.
20 Long Drong's Slayer Pirates - these guys were a real pain to paint and only came out OK, so not planning on trying to expand these much in the future (maybe to 30 members once I've finished almost everything else).
21 Bearmen - sadly some have replacement generic shields. I'm likely going to go back and paint the bear paw markings in red (and freehand them onto the generic shields), but this will likely be a project when/if I expand the unit to 30 or so with aquiring some extra models.
5 Desert Dogs; I learned when doing these that I can't paint white, but other than the white these came out OK. I have another 5 or 6 to join this unit at a later date when they are also painted up.
15 Alcatani Fellowship - the banner is pretty awful and I might replace it later, but otherwise pretty happy with these. Currently working on another 38 models (!) which will expand the unit to a good strong 53.
28 Ricco's Republican Guard - these probably came out the best of everything I've painted so far.
I've also done Mydas the Mean, Lucrezzia, and a Hireling Wizard, but will get photos of those at a later date (these photos didn't come out amazingly, so I'll try and get a better set-up when I have more to get photos of).

Love the idea, love the models.
I just recently bought the army book for the DoW which has some nice back story to the units and flavour text.
