Since the skorne arrived in western Immoren, countless warriors and slaves have met their ends in the slavering jaws of a pack of reptile hounds, vicious pack hunters that the skorne enjoy setting upon lone warbeasts and enemy champions. Many foes have been demoralized after seeing their mightiest heroes or greatest beasts torn to pieces by a pack of these scaled predators. Even the most resilient creatures often find their natural powers of regeneration no match for the crushing strength of a reptile hound’s jaws; a pack of them working in concert can swiftly reduce even a hulking satyr to a pile of bloody bones.

Analysis of the Reptile Hound
Reptile Hound in a nutshell
Cheap bullets, the Reptile Hounds are effectively solos who benefit from battlegroup buffs.
Combos & Synergies
- Paingiver Beast Handlers - clear off that fury after it's shot the solo.
- More reptile hounds - they flank with each other.
- Master Ascetic Naaresh Battlegroup buffing feat, and they are the cheapest beast able to fully use his feat.
- Void Seer Mordikaar Pathfinder for all these bullets
- Tyrant Zaadesh Cheap flanking/tag team partners
- Supreme Aptimus Zaal Running up a single hound to flank something, then let the other go to town with the Flank bonus, Enrage and Last Stand.
Drawbacks and Downsides
- Fragile - they may have a lot of damage boxes, but that's a low ARM value.
- Even with Flank and Enrage, they don't hit that hard
- They compete with Scarab Packs who perform the same task but with more hitpoints overall, are slightly weaker, and have a lot more spell synergies thanks to their "unit" status.
