Nimble and responsive, hunting packs of War Dogs scamper towards the enemy, skirmishing ahead of their larger brethren. On one arm they wield fearsome reaper chain-cleavers, their adamantium teeth whirring and actuator motors roaring. On the other they bear menacing thermal spears, bulky melta weapons that are essentially stripped down equivalents of a thermal cannon. A single shot from such a weapon can vaporise even the most heavily protected combatant, melt through the wall of a bunker or reduce a battle tank to a molten wreck. Their pilots are well-suited to the close-quarters aggression of the War Dog, desperate to push forward and kill in the name of the Ruinous Powers.
This multipart plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 2 War Dogs. Smaller and more lightly armoured than Chaos Knights, standing at around half the height, they nevertheless share a lot of details – the basic shape of these bipedal weapon platforms are similar to a standard Chaos Knight, with 2 weapon arms, hydraulically driven legs, tilting plate and a large carapace surrounding the central head of the suit. Another detail in common with those larger suits is their loadout; for their diminutive size they're incredibly powerful. Each is armed with a reaper chain-cleaver, thermal spear and a carapace-mounted heavy stubber, the latter of which can be replaced with a meltagun. 4 unique heads are supplied in the kit, and both weapons (which feature articulation at the shoulder) and legs can be attached to either side of the model, allowing for some customisation of pose.
This kit can also be assembled as a pair of Armiger Warglaives for an Imperial Knights army. This kit comes as 116 components, and is supplied with 2 Citadel 100mm Round bases, as well as an Armiger Transfer sheet.
