Seems I may not be playing Dogs of War as soon as I'd thought. In fact, I likely never will. The staff at my local GW refuses to let me play with them, stating that they are now entirely illegal. They won't even let me use Regiments of Renown or Dogs of War as rare choices. Despite the PDF stating that any and every army (save for Bretonnia) may take Dogs of War, they maintain that if I don't have the option open as a rare choice in my army book, I can't take them.
I can't convince them otherwise. Of course, I may switch stores very soon anyway, seeing as the staff which was previously very cool now reserve the right to kick me out if I'm not keeping busy. I can't even sit around and have a nice chat with my friends if I'm not busy hobbying, which is complete bull-nuts. So, maybe if the other nearby GW will allow Dogs, I'll go there from now on. One of the players down there uses a Dogs of War army, so I bet they'll be fine with it.

Um... it says in most of the army books (*most*) on the building an army page that you may take dogs of war. Hence it is in the army book, and therefore there is no way to say they aren't legal. Shove that in their faces and be a rules lawyer

The 6th ed books still have them, the 7th ed books do not. What they're arguing is that GW is phasing Dogs of War out, and that it's illegal to take them with 7th ed armies. They forbid me from taking them at all, probably because I argues with them, but they are correct in that there's no entry in the books. If you read from the Dogs of War PDF though, it clearly states that all armies can take Dogs of War, but since the Dogs PDF isn't on the US site (who cares, right? It's still on the UK site) they won't let me take them.

They are being idiots, tell them it is entirely legal and you are using GW models anyway. I'd suggest that you say to them that you will report them and make a complaint if they continue to act like power hungry morons.
Gav Thorpe has even mentioned that they stopped putting the entry in every army book because they were just repeating themselves and so put it all in the PDF so its in one place and that DoW are still perfectlly legal in 7th Ed.
