Warhound Titan does WHAT in Game? 40K Titan Datasheet Review

[@wulfbak]

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

[@mrfarts5176]

You bring it to punch people in the B hole.

[@iain-duncan]

Warhounds are meta AF in horus heresy

[@wulfbak]

@@iain-duncan I love that they are 750 points. I can bring one in a 3000 point list. And they feel strong, but not oppressive.

[@iain-duncan]

@wulfbak they are completely oppressive if your opponent brings a primarch. Basically instant delete 80p pts minimum from their army by killing primarch and their spartan.

[@ArnBry]

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.

[@Raygun9000]

​@@corrinavatanhe wasn't bringing it to be competitive or playtest it. It was just for fun and to use his new toy from the high rollers in MG community.

[@mastergmoore]

Yeah bringing 2 babe blades was far more efficient

[@janehrahan5116]

to be fair, his version did have the two worst guns according to the damage spreads.

[@greggonzalez661]

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

[@Arcothefox]

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.

[@tomclare3090]

I've got one - it's still terrible for its points

[@gandalfthegay420]

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!

[@davidfuller2166]

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

[@Hyenadont]

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

[@MrCrowStudio]

I brought this list to an event this last weekend! Got best in Chaos and 5th place. went 2-1. Warhound with double plasma, and 6 wardogs

[@Fofostarfighter]

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.

[@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420]

Use the teleporting Grey Knights units I can't remember the name of to hunt the anti armor units and use Catachans as infiltrators for style points.

[@bulldog_k9_uk]

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.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

So, you played 32mm Adeptus Titanicus?

[@geoffgrigg381]

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.

[@vigilantice]

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.

[@BECAUSEBAZ]

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

[@AlyxSharkBite-2000]

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

[@EmperorNapoleon1815]

It’s beautiful!

[@GradeAMolvanian]

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.

[@noahgassler746]

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

[@erhier3966]

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. :)

[@jetscout194]

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!

[@plasia]

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

[@DaneJT]

been wanting to grab one of those, definitely a good shout, a few extra guns with similar punching power for a cheaper price while still keeping that towering figure as a bit of phycological warfare.

[@EmperorNapoleon1815]

I have a Porphyrion - you absolutely should! It’s a glorious piece of machinery to field, but on the same level of a Tyranid Hierophant (my absolute favorite model to field). The points cost means you can back it up with quite a lot in a 2k game, and your opponent will be focused entirely on dealing with the big guy to their detriment.

[@DaneJT]

@@EmperorNapoleon1815 how are they too build? really want too grab one

[@EmperorNapoleon1815]

@@DaneJT I’ll be honest, I commissioned mine to be built/painted, but I’ve built all the Tyranid FW monsters and the Revenant Titan, and I would have to guess it’s a bit more complicated than the Revenant (since I’ve seen the imperial Titan pieces) but not horrible. I assembled the Revenant kit for my brother without the directions, and it took me an hour. My guess is maybe two at the most? You’ll want to be using some insta set for sure, though. It’s a heavy model, and those pieces will be weighing on each other!

[@plasia]

@@EmperorNapoleon1815 you're right. Since my first comment I have obtained and used a Porphyrion, it wrecked.

[@Fools_Travels]

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!!!

[@actinium2754]

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

[@manfredgesink8514]

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

[@davidw.9508]

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.

[@ck-uk4fz]

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

[@mjhsinclair]

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

[@whitee55]

Laughs in Helbrecht, Lt, and 10 Sword Brethren

[@beardwierd2783]

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

[@ratatata3192]

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

[@malusdarkbane]

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.

[@sm901ftw]

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.

[@armouredwolf4470]

Played my chaos knights against another chaos knights list in the British armed forces tournament. Was honestly the most fun game of the weekend My chaos lancer took the warhound down to 1 wound first turn with old tank shock and a nice hit in close combat. Killed it start of second but he blew up and took my lancer with it. By fair a golden game of the tournament for me

[@aceofhearts9928]

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

[@tdstds9346]

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.

[@troublemaker9899]

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.

[@hectordejesus9194]

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

[@kulman4295]

Production cost: 15€, retail: 650€

[@DJRaffa1000]

I get your sentiment, but even if it was molded plastic instead of casted resin, the Material cost alone would be higher than 15$ for such a large model. Modelling plastic isnt just any garbage quality plastic and the model being made out of casted resin doesnt make the materal bill any cheaper. GW models are way overcosted for what they are, but even if GW wouldnt make any money at all (just getting back what they spent last year) they couldnt even drop prices by 50%. So a normal sized Knight would still be over 80$ Retail price, let alone a whole Titan. (Shipping to the US and import tariffs also come out to roughly 15-20% of the final Retail price) To reiterate, GWs models are certailny way overpriced. But there is no place on earth right now where the materail bill of a warhound Titan would be 15$.

[@kulman4295]

@@DJRaffa1000 you are right. Also they have to pay a lot of extra costs that need to be calculated into that, for example for the lawyers they use to threaten people on youtube making Wh40k fan videos or those who print their own minis in 3D. Also all that marketing they need to do to make people feel like it is worth the money. I wish they focused more on making affordable minis and competing in that way, and also didnt phase out older armies all the time.

[@K1nG-S4uC3]

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

[@MarketResearchReading114]

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.

[@Fallout2008]

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.

[@arrownymouse1811]

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😅

[@GrimlockXB]

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.

[@Agentporpoise]

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

[@BenHyle]

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...

[@GusMortis]

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.

[@Desca2001]

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.

[@mahro-wulf9947]

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

[@DarrenMalin]

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 :)

[@Kindersmoothie]

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?

[@kyrridas1573]

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).

[@hugeloads]

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

[@zsoltlang2144]

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.

[@ReinaSaurus]

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

[@jasonsmith5874]

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

[@ThatsMyRice]

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.

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba0]

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

[@ThatsMyRice]

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

[@Astartesparty]

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 😂

[@tomyorke3412]

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

[@keithsimpson2685]

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

[@1973Washu]

The titan megabolter can take out an entire guard unit with an attached character in one turn?

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

[@Firedrake-f4g]

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.

[@SarithenVol]

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

[@ninjahpaco89]

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

[@DJCallidus]

I do hope to face a Titan again. Perviously I have faced some Eldar titans back when I had Orks. They had some crazy abilities. Now I have a decent sized Imperial Guard army. A good chunk of infantry, a sizable armoured company and a battery of artillery. They seem scary but they can only target so many things in a turn. The bigger they come, the harder they fall. Thanks Auspex 💀

[@finnishfatman]

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.
