dkieft Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I know in the last version these were pretty nasty, but how does everyone feel about them in this edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 They suck against Dwarves.... I am to bitter to talk about it but I am sure Eric can elaborate more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 They suck against Dwarves....

(Unless you completely demolish him, then by all means tell us.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 They are alright. Being S4 except for on the charge really hurts them, but they can be used as a decent support unit, or to deal with chaff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I like that they ambush, but they are not the combat beasts they were before. They are a good option to place your opponent's back field or flank and harry war machine and fleeing troops or to prevent units from fleeing your charges.

Failed Charge Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Whatever you do don't ambush them! It's an upgrade that's never worth it. Flesh hounds are MV 8 so are fast enough to move around the flanks anyways and with ambush they MIGHT come on turn 2 but they might not. Even if they do come out turn 2 they can't charge and only move 8 so they finally can charge turn 3 is your best case scenario. I rather have the option to charge turn 1 or 2 and threaten people from the hop then maybe turn 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxer Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I like ambush as well. I would take a single unit of 5 and be happy with them coming in on a flank or rear to threaten a bunker or WMs. Many armies have points just sitting in their backfield that flesh hounds are designed to mop up. Any type of BS shooters, WM, Mage bunkers all would be disrupted by 5 flesh hounds, if not beaten with a flubbed fear test or break test. I think ambush is totally worth the points, but I do think its something you dont want to over invest in, a single unit should be fine in ambush while any others could be deployed on hard flanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I honestly think ambush is only worth taking for units with shooting attacks or large blocks to reall harrass the enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJTW Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ambushing Khornedogs are great for keeping people honest. They aren't hard to deal with, but they MUST be felt with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sums up feelings about flesh hounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
