Mordheim Suppliments: Wardogs

So your warband can bring puppies or you want to get some war dogs as equipment (still counts toward max warband size) but they are very important and useful for the adventurous (not skavens though). The most advantage of getting a wardog or two be it a henchmen group or equipment (or even a Wolfin for Norse) is their speed. Especially in breakthrough and wyrdstone hunt along with being able to hit and run stragglers very easily.

Now I've seen a few dog models offered by GW and some are metal (wood elves got two in a set), chaos warhounds (spikey bits and has 10), undead warhounds (they're corpsy), and space wolves wolves (5 models). Out of the four options I saw I lean the most between chaos warhounds and space wolves since at the moment they cost the same and it is really just depends on your taste and if you want to shave / remodel some spikes for normal wolves.

At the moment I've been using Squigs for my war puppies as the war dog equipment does not necessarily have to be a dog / wolf. However there was a recent addition to the war puppy list of options thanks to The Hobbit's Fell Wargs. There is six of them however one down side is circle bases compared to the standard square ones on Mordheim.

After a few battles with testing war puppies I've grown to like them a lot especially due to their speed. Take a slow warband like Dwarves, with 2/3 things running at 8" even in breakthrough they'll be able to just push the puppies across and win.
