In the darkest forests, massive, twisted hounds hunt their prey. They often stalk around encampments searching for scraps and lone creatures to attack. When the Beastmen muster for an attack, these hounds lope alongside them, drawn by the promise of fresh meat. Some Beastmen rear these vicious hounds, training them for battle, though they can never be truly tamed. For weeks before a fight, the hounds are penned up, starved and taunted so that when they are unleashed on the foe they are crazed, snarling killers. Only the largest and meanest hounds survive, which are more wolf than dog, and they hunger for flesh and blood. These natural predators are made all the more horrifying by the warping effect of Chaos, causing them to sprout horns, tusks and spines.

Warhounds may be included in your Chaos Space Marines army as a equipment for your characters.
