Warhammer 40k - Review Library 387 - Chaos Daemons, Flesh Hounds

Not good doggos...

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000

The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!

Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.

So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all. That means that I am aiming at Day 96 being the 21st of July 2025!

Today is Day 22/96.
I have reviewed 34/148.

Time elapsed: 22.91%
Review Completion: 22.97%
Basically on par!

Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear

With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

  • Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
  • Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
  • Selling some of the collection to friends.

At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $226 to pay off!

Every bit counts!

Back to the review!

Chaos Daemons, Flesh Hounds

10th Edition Index

I can understand the need for this unit in an army. They are fast, they deal a fair amount of melee damage but even more importantly, they can appear anywhere!

They are 75pts for 5 models and 150pts for 10 models.

Let's check their stats and abilities!

Stats

Movement 12"
Toughness 4
Save 7+/5++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 2
Ld 7+
OC 1

Weapons

Standard weapons: Gore-drenched fangs; Collar of Khorne and the squad leader, the Gore Hound also has Burning roar

Ranged Weapons

Burning roar

12" Range, D6 Shots, Hitting on Auto, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Torrent (This weapon hits automatically, just roll for the number of shots)
Ignores Cover (Enemies cannot get Benefit of Cover against this attack)

Melee Weapons

Gore-drenched fangs

3 Attack, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.

Abilities

Deep Strike - If this unit arrives on the Battlefield from Reserves, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models.

Hunters from the Warp

At the end of your opponent's turn, if this unit is not in Engagement with an enemy, you may remove them from the Battlefield and place them into Reserves.

Thoughts

Hunters from the Warp can mean that they can slink and speed their way towards or away from them only to have them appear in another part of the board where they were NOT expected.

Its cost effective. It would be better to run 2x units of 5 instead of 1 unit of 10.

That makes 22 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 44% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 111.

Thank you for reading!
