Blades of Khorne – Karanak
8" 7 5+ 2 At the foot of Khorne’s throne prowls a canine shadow, three heads gnawing upon the bones of the unworthy. In mortal tongues, he is Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance. This alpha Flesh Hound is unleashed when an enemy has earned Khorne’s personal displeasure. Each of Karanak’s heads tracks its quarry in a different fashion. The first senses across space, following the spoor of the target no matter where they hide. The second follows through time, seeing both those who try to hide in the recesses of history as well as those who will incite Khorne’s rage in the future. The third head is the most dangerous, for it tracks its prey from within their own mind.
Karanak has little inclination to lead armies; his only goal is to drag his quarry back to the base of the Skull Throne, where they will be torn apart under Khorne’s glowering gaze. Even so, where he lopes, other warriors of Khorne follow – for Karanak’s hunts take him through the most furious of battles. Accompanied by packs of slavering Flesh Hounds compelled to join the pursuit, Karanak chases down his prey without remorse or relent, as indefatigable as a falling axe. | ||
