You don’t bring a Warhound to win games. You bring a Warhound to have a Warhound.

"imma bring a titan" "thats a terrible id-" "but it'd be FUNNY"

Played a Tournament last weekend and a bloke brought a Warhaound and a Porphyrion. And he won some games!

i just put on the app and checked. yes. i can fill 1995/2000 pts of world eaters with angron, khorne lord of skulls and a chaos warhound titan. just talked with a possible opponent who's gonna field chaos knights.

cant wait for THIS to come in plastic (i am delusional)

Dude named Aaron took one to LVO and finished 4-2. Beautifully painted as well.

Mordian Glory has brought his Warhound to a couple of tournaments. IIRC his conclusion is it's just too expensive for what it brings.

Its really tempting to tts this with 6 war dogs and see what happens

Aeldari Revenant titans are possibly more worth it as they have 3 guns, and two of them are assault, and it gains the benefits of the strands of fate and detachement rules too due to having the ability and the simple Aeldari faction keyword.

I played a tournament last weekend and played against one of these. My Angron killed it round 2 😂

Me and a mate went halves on a warhound titan and it's one of the best and funniest things we use in battle, sometimes we use it ourselves which is a cool experience commanding such a godly piece of equipment but it's funny going against it! Really makes you think what anti armour firepower you actually can field because if you miss or don't make a serious dent on it , otherwise its probably going to put you into the shadow realm. Even if it's guns don't kill you directly the follow up explosions from your allies vehicles will. Turn 2 swings around if your lucky and you realise the obliterated carcass that was. 😂 super wild and super fun!

I have a silly AdMech 2k list (Cohort Cybernetica) with this (1) Belisarius Cawl (3) Datasmiths (6) Kastallan Robots (1) Warhound Its fun and silly

Interesting potential strat: Get a bunch of objective monkeys and good movers (inceptors and infiltrators), plus a warhound, use the infiltrators for simple scoring, and then use inceptors to just snipe out any anti tank that could hurt the warhound.

1100 points is interesting. I've got two buddies with combat patrols. It could be a fun Friday night to proxy one these guys and see if they can team up to take it out.

I was running one with duel flamers with my chaos knights at the start of 10th before the change to overwatch

As a knights player I want one. I could bring it and 6 armigers so it’s basically a knight and a half in points but a little weaker than 2 Questoris knights. But I still want one.

A particularly determined Knight-Gallant has a reasonable chance of killing a Warhound in one hit from its thunderstrike gauntlet.

We really have to compare this to it's weight in tanks. I'd love a video that compared it, defensively, and offensively, to 1,100 pts of: Leman Ruses, Knights, Castigators or other Sisters armor, Admec armor and Marine Gladiators to see if, based on stats, it is every worth taking. Also consider if strat buffs on the titan vs on two (which I know you can't normally do, but just to see if it's cost effective) or one of the others change these numbers enough to warrant consideration.

A guy brought one to March of Winters event, just it and nothing else. Loved facing it with my knights - it shoots well but engage it in close combat and it dies soon enough.

I started working on my Chaos Warhound just a couple of days ago after a longer break and hopefully will finish it this time. Funny to just now see this video pop up. :)

You know who remembers that Stompas used to be in that same category? Pepperidge Farm does

I'd rather just buy six large Knights. Especially with GW still thinking the British pound is at 1990s value against the USD.

When I was at LVO, I saw over half a dozen Warhounds or so when I had time to go walk around in between my games in the other hall.

I played my mate with my warhound, ended up winning the game by exactly 1 point, secondaries we’re very nice to me, and I did use the flank speed to control a marked objective for a secondary. My mate took all infantry to try and screen me out, so naturally I went with dual inferno (this was when I could still overwatch), ended up with only the warhound remaining after turn 3, and took it all the way!

I brought a Titan to a tournament many years ago. I lost every game but had a lot of fun. The escort Imperial Fists fought some epic melee battles

Laughs in Helbrecht, Lt, and 10 Sword Brethren

titans are my favorite model in 40k. my only regret is that i built a full titanicus army, secutarii and warhound. for them to move to legends. that being said. i'm bringing them to the field ANYWAY!!!

some absolute madlad brought a chaos warhound titan to the 40k champs at LVO, and i got pictures to prove it!

I got one of these suckers with dual flamer! Can't wait to get it on the table.

I've been working on a CSM list with on of these.. I'm glad to see me assumptions have pretty much all been covered here.. .. even that I was giving real thought to scrapping the idea entirely. I think I'll give it a go all the same. Ty

Looking at using the Acastus knights as a slightly more sensible, but still huge and fun, centrepiece

I’m imagining running one with a ton of Fenrisian wolves, Thunderwolf cavalry and canis wolfborn just for s**ts and giggles

Can you do the Harridan? Feels like the Titan with the best claim it might be tournament-credible.

Production cost: 15€, retail: 650€

Ran one against Custodes in a knights list and had a blast. Not good but a fun list!

Not that balance seems to be the focus, but the Plasma gun (and laser) does have the Blast keyword. If you doubled up on either of them the Warhound would be entirely reliant on its feet in melee. Certainly would want to have at least one of the other guns available to clear off any pesky ants at its feet, and at this kind of point cost I don't think it can afford to be a specialised anti-tank killer anyway.

Still painting my necron collection to where i can make a decent list for 2k points with some swap-outs when required, but afterwards i'm gonna work on Trazyn's Exposition of the galaxy where i want to get some cool models from other factions as nice additions to his collection. I dont think I'll get to it within the next few years but when I do I would be very tempted by a titan like this. But when I'll do, I'll have to save for quite a while😅

These things need an ability to move other smaller units they move through. Just push them out of the area they walk into. That would be a unique rule for these much bigger models. Also prevents screening.

I think admech could do something with cheap chickens and efficient troops that scout move, to bog stuff down or the passive rad protocol to chip away at the final wounds of units passively.

i wanna take a warhound and just a horde of sisters, maybe with the triumph of st kat, as if the warhound has joined the procession

I think I would run it with Plasma and Turbolasers, Two 10-man squads of Jump Pack Intercessors, one with Captain and Sang Priest for staying power to go wreck the chaff. Two whirlwinds for strong indirect fire, and an Intercessor squad to hold the back line and advance out to take some other objective. Probably not too competitive, but the Titan has enough anti-tank to focus down one big thing per turn if it needs to, and it will likely give two good turns of shooting at the very least, even if the opponent brings a good amount of anti-tank. Jump Pack intercessors can deal MW on the charge so they can still threaten some decent targets, and with Sons of Sanguinius detachment, they actually become very effective chaff clearing with 5A per model, Str 5 AP-1, Captain with Thunder Hammer and Relic Shield. Maybe drop the priest and run two captains for efficient stratagems so you can save CP for the titan.

Just had a small tournament 2 days ago where someone brought one of those. My Phobos + Thunderstrikes list killed it in 2 turns despite low damage rolls. The ultimate downfall of them is terrain rules (blocking LOS, can't move, etc) and it's lack of firepower. Only having 2 guns on it really hampered it compared to my Invictor Warsuits. The Warhound did a grand total of damaging 2 Thunderstrikes.

Would love to own one, but i think i would rather play it in a 3k+ game, for a more 'grand' feeling, since those would only be deployed in the most dire of situations.

I really should get mine put together

The Metawatch update is here, can only be minutes until the new Auspex video^^. Let's see if he likes the new Drukari Detachmant, the POUNCE ON THE PREY Stratagem looks awesome.

My favourite way to field him so far is with imperial gaurd

I once player is what we called 'the silly game' four players 3 v one who play all his tau , lots and lots and LOTS of tau ! I bought my scratchboard Reaver Titan. We where all impressed how well the Titan did it simply stood still the whole game . It took down the only thing that was a threat 1st turn then mowed down bucket full's of Tau each turn. It was almost unfair :)

Consider, war hound and 3 bane blades

Great vid. The warhound definitely doesn’t have enough wounds to make up for the cost. Two knights would be way better. + on the topic of knight would you say that they are still good after the recent changes?

I think when you are wounding on 6s you are probably better off doing a lot of low strength shots. I would suggest 6 aggressors + apoth bio + fire discipline would be very good at removing it.

Titan gun go brrr

Where do you find the definitions for the Titanic and Towering keywords?

You need at least a shadowsword to have a slim chanse to one shot it if you are the one starting, but yeah like thats gonna happen, rolling a 3 on attacks, hitting on all and getting all 4 wound throws to 6 so it becomes devastating wound. ah sweet dreams.

I might get one put it in a guard army just incase I run into someone with 3 riptide as an army

I ran one with 3 armigers and a paladin and managed 2/3 wins in a tournament

I own one, it is useless, but utterly a delight to field anyway! Actually, maybe it could have some mileage if allied with Chaos Daemons, especially if their points prices goes down in the upcoming dataslate.

I'm not bringing my warhound to win. I'm bringing it to have a good time, watching it get blown up with dice in one hand and a beer in the other

Anyone interested should check out Mordian Glory's channel. He took a Warhound titan and 990pts of Imperial Guard to a tournament and made an after action report on it.

Titans need a buff for what they cost money, and point wise. They are just not worth it, they need a 4+ invulnerability save minimum

how does a warhounds stand up against an acastus knight? guess it would be fun to play adeptus titanicus up scaled?

At least it doesn't have the Warlord's Special rule 😅 (one unit hit by range attacks takes a battle shock test)

can you do a compare video to ork stompa and other titains from other factions?

Seems like it would be good if you were playing, say, a 3000 or 4000 point game. You'd have enough support that it's not an autotarget, its targets would be sufficient to not be wasted, your opponent almost assuredly would have antitank in that size list...

I cant do the pricing for this game anymore. The Falcon grav tank is the same model from all the way back in 1995, and cost 30 dollars more... 2 bags of groceries cost as much as a 30 year old model.

ive got a warhound titan that, uhhh....came from the fabricator pits of Saturn. anyways, ive played a few games of tossing it in with some Grey Knights, who need help packing a punch. its really just for fun and i would _never_ take it to a serious match. you're not going to budge it off an objective, but other than that its honestly not great. the opponent knows they're not going to drop it, so they just dont bother wasting shots against it. which means its enormous wounds pool is actually a detriment, because it means your opponent focuses that much harder on your squishier units (which you have considerably less of, at 900 points).

But why are void shields the same as Ion Shields? Why does a knight lancer have a better invul hahaha

I'm so happy i own one 😊

I mean taking one as a merc in a imp guard list full of krieg battle line and scout walkers seems fine?

Cool to see a vid on a titan, now for one on thr revenant titan right?

Ol'Auspex there trying to justify a new purchase to the missus

It’s funny bc auspex talks to us all like we all didn’t know the megabolter was bad…. You take it to slay space marines a just thematic 🎉 I don’t think anyone brings a titan to be efficient 😂

angron can consistently bring down a warhound in melee, especially with buffs from wrathful presence and blessings of khorne.

Where are these datasheets found???

Well there goes my Admech w/ dual inferno cannon warhound list. Dunno how I missed they can't overwatch 😭

The warhound much like the thunderhawk is a model i wish they would make in plastic. But to be honest with the way they are chewing through the resin heresy model and converting the to plastic it is at this point only a matter of time.

I’m going to proxy my daughter doggo plush as a Warhound. Only way I can obtain one…

Space marines in the vanguard would be nice.

Where can you get the rules? Love this a part of my knights to make a meme army

My KillRig is 170 from 200 auspex!!!

I fielded one randomly with some admech since it's my only 40k imperium army. Did dick all thanks to hilariously bad dice luck lol. Never getting more than 1 wound with the turbolaser is so feelsbad

800 dollarus?! Thats... alot for the smallest titan...

I just feel like it would die very quickly and not be able to dish out enough damage to warrant the points cost.

That melee profile is just silly!

If your friend has a Warhound Titan... then they remember when that could technically be used by Guard using the old Creed rules, and the meme that existed because of that.

Cant balance the hh stuff. Can balance these. ????

I wonder what the next giveaway will be?

...not enough for the points!

And then you think something like a single Vindicator could kill this within a single turn. Sure, you'd need to have massive luck on the Vindi and pretty bad luck on the Hound, but if a tank has the potential of doing 54 wounds from 1 gun in a single turn, it's not really all that bad 😅 Happens probably once in a century, but it's possible.

We have two and they are hilarious in the Apocalypse games. But GW have nerfed this even more from what I am seeing. For example, S6 for a Vulcan Mega Bolter, really? A gun bigger than a Leeman Russ, firing self propelled bolter shells with explosive heads the size of Volkswagens at supersonic speeds. If it hits a Terminator it would knock it back 100's of metres if not disintegrate its armour. Apparently physics is not a thing. Or that armour save, like there is no weapons out there that don't have AP -4? Oh yes I forgot, say six Wraith Guard with Wraithcannon that fire S14 AP-4 D6 damage. Two teams of these would be cheaper than the titan. They have dropped the void shields entirely and that 5++ invulnerable save is going to be bent really hard. Don't look now but there are a plethora of weapons firing high strength, high AP dealing out lots of damage. The only thing likely to save this beast in a normal 40k game is if, rather ironically, they miss. Aeldari can not be the only army that can smack this thing.

Kevin!

It’s more fun for the titans to be a fairly easy boss fight instead of a competitive stompers. I for one absolutely want a war hound and would happily play it despite knowing I’d be like losing three in every four matches I play.

Data slate dropped

Just ask Modian Glory, he’s got one that he used in a tournament. Entertaining stuff. Check his channel for the vids.

I built a admech list as a Titan Secutari Cohort, 900 points of infantry with a Warhound titan 😁 It’s not a great list lol

If it cost 1000 points, would it be worth it? 🤔

One full Crusader Squad has 4 OP over the Warhound xD

Warhound titan, 4-5 wardogs, lots of nurglings

👍👍👍

Where's the break down auspexs

Well now you can have a warhound and armigers in a 2000 pt game 😂
