Is there any known Warhounds used by the Thousand Sons?

I had my debut battle against Space Wolves with mine, and it did a MASSIVE amount of damage, including dropping a Thunderhawk.

I think it is time to name it, but I have no idea what. Any suggestions? My army theme is a pre heresy army. After the TS left Prospero, they forged their pact with Tzeentch, and now fight to exact their revenge on the Space Wolves. Along with their battle call, all is dust, they have adapted a new saying. "There will be no more Wolves on Fenris!"

Unknown.

But I have a question, How exactly did you manage to drop a Thunderhawk when its a flyer? Only weapon the Warhound can take capable of even hitting a flyer is the Vulken Megabolter. Everything else can't touch it because they're blast weapons.

You might call it Wolfslayer or Prosperous

Did some quick Google-fu and thought you could all him Re (Ra, more commonly).

"Re, also spelled Ra, or Pra, in ancient Egyptian religion, god of the sun and creator god. He was believed to travel across the sky in his solar bark and, during the night, to make his passage in another bark through the underworld, where, in order to be born again for the new day, he had to vanquish the evil serpent Apopis (Apepi). As one of the creator gods, he rose from the ocean of chaos on the primeval hill, creating himself and then in turn engendering eight other gods."

I'm sure you can find a lot of allusions and metaphors in there.

Theres no such thing as a Thoudand Sons Warhound Titan, because the Thousand Sons are a Space Marine Legion and Warhounds are titans which are part of Titan Legions.... sl name it whatever you want.

Doesn't one of the 1k sons take control of a old warhound titan during the battle for Prospero?

Canis Vertex a Warlord Titan

It was the Vulcan mega bolter, and it was backed up by two heldrakes and two vendettas.

I was only concerned about it for one round, and got an insane amount of good rolls.

The Legions would often have entire Legios assigned to their Legion for decades at a time though.

I am backing GT's Prosperous.

are you special? when the space marine legions went rogue/ traitor, they took some titans with them, hence their being CHAOS SPACE MARINE TITANS. SPECIAL! *shoots self in foot and hopes the mods don't find this post.*

Fluff wise, there are so many directions that you can go for a Warhound with the Thousands Sons. Everything from a renegade IG joining forces, to manipulating a machine world to manufacture, to simply stealing or gaining control of one.

Good idea looking into Egyptian lore, since I was stumbling around with Latin names. I will have to delve around in ancient lore and see what I can find based off either the number 9 or something to do with magic...

Put that into google translate, apparently it means 'It's Top Dog'

Yep. Canis is translated to Canine, or dog, and Vertex means point, peak, or pinnacle. So, it roughly translates into top dog.

Or it being possessed by a Daemon of Tzeentch, or animated by sorcery! Also, I too back Prosperous.

First, "there are no Wolves on Fenris" is a common phrase to the Space Wolves, not sure if you were being tongue-in-cheek there.

Second, they already tried the full assault on Fenris, and ended up destroying much of their surviving forces.

Third, the few surviving TSs seem to have evolved into daemon-like entities or are individuals or small cabals of sorcerers pursuing their own agenda, that agenda usually being more power. One of these guys could certainly still bear a grudge.
