Blades of Khorne – Claws of Karanak
6" 1 5+ 1 Those who trespass in lands claimed by the Bloodbound learn to fear the echo of wordless growls. Such is the only warning they will receive of ambush by the Claws of Karanak, warbands devoted to the role of the savage pack-hunter. The Claws of Karanak venerate Khorne as the apex predator of reality and Flesh Hounds as his truest manifestations. They emulate these daemons by chasing down any who offend the War God with displays of cowardice. The Packmasters of the cult are said to be able to smell a craven from miles away, and they wear the hides of magically gifted foes as prized trophies.
Though they will respond to a worthy lord, the Claws’ desire to hunt is overwhelming, seeing them range far ahead of the horde. The carnage they wreak is such that many champions permit them the honour of first blood. The greatest honour for any such cultist is to battle alongside a Flesh Hound – or else to slay such a daemon after beating them to their quarry. Those who achieve this latter feat are transformed into slavering daemonkin known as Hounds of Wrath, loping forward on all fours to tear foes apart with their bare hands. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.3.3 Reinforced Units

17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
