Claws of Karanak and Fangs of the Blood God

 A week or so ago I picked up the Claws of Karanak. I think these were originally a warband for Warcry, but then got rules for use in regular Age of Sigmar. They are mortal bloodbound warriors that are members of a subcult of Khorne worshippers that venerate the daemonic Flesh Hounds and Karanakm the Hound of Vengeance - the embodiment of Khorne's wrathful vengeance... 

Claws of Karanak 

This is also the only unit I needed to complete another Spearhead army; The Fangs of The Blood God. This is a new Spearhead army that was included in the brand new Blades of Khorne Battletome. 

The Fangs of The Blood God

This Spearhead army includes

• 1x Karanak
• 5x Flesh Hounds
• 5x Flesh Hounds
• 8x Claws of Karanak

There are not a lot of them... and, on paper, they don't look awesome... NOTHING hits on better than 4+, none of them have particularly great saves (5+ or 6+ for all of them, though the daemons have a Ward 6+) only Karanak has any Rend ability at all... the only thing really going for them is EVERYTHING but Karanak has the Reinforcements keyword... so... there's that... 

I guess I'll have to wait and see how they work (which won't be long, because I've arranged to play Orion this afternoon!).

Karanak can lead a regiment in a Blades of Khorne army in regular Age of Sigmar. The only units allowed in the Hound of Vengance's Regiment, though, are Flesh Hounds and the Claws of Karanak. So this can be fielded as part of my Blades of Khorne army, if I so chose to do so... Four of those batches of Flesh Hounds would have to be paired up into units of ten, though...Kind of makes me want to get one more box of five, so I have THREE units of TEN Flesh Hounds!? 

No, wait, that's not right, I can only have THREE units total, in a regiment... so I could have two of the units of ten Flesh Hounds and either the Claws of Karanak OR another unit of five Flesh Hounds... 

Regiment

• Hero - Karanak (1) 110 - Any Claws of Karanak, Any Flesh Hounds
• Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220 - Daemon, Beast
• Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220 - Daemon, Beast
• Unit - Claws of Karanak (8) 110 - Bloodbound, Infantry. This unit cannot be reinforced.

Total: 660 points! 

Unless Karanak was the General...? Then there could be four units in the regiment...? I feel like that's not a thing, though... or maybe I'm thinking of previous editions that disallowed Karanak from being General...?

I guess I'll worry about it if ever I get to the point where I'm considering including Karanak and this regiment in a Blades of Khorne army!?

What's still on the workbench!? 

Lots of Khorne stuff!

Likely the first to be finished will be the Lord of Khorne on the Juggernaut and the Skull Altar. I keep forgetting about those Skullreapers which are SO CLOSE to being done!?

After that... maybe take a break from the Khorne stuff and either knock out the Stormcast Eternal Spearhead (it's TEN FIGURES?! and they're mostly just black and gold!?) or maybe some Soulblight Gravelord stuff - for the Spearhead and/or Cursed City: Night Wars! 

Before any of that, though, I'll try and get this afternoon's game report done!
