Do people actually use hounds or skull cannons? How are they finding them?

It'll be pretty tragic if people have stopped using flesh hounds in 8th, right after they've finally received a (really nice looking) plastic kit and been awesome for years

I use flesh hounds, two units of 5 with a Herald on Juggernaut.

It's relatively cheap, 2 denies on a fast base which pumps out a lot of str 6 ap-1 d1 attacks each when it is charged/charges and can horribly mangle most screens, whilst looking scarier than they really are.

In mono khorne I give them a c. In mixed daemons I rate them as B as mobile, cheap denies are always fantastic and will eat non elite infantry or any MEQ without invuns for breakfast.


Skullcannons - points for effect - actually surprisingly good. the model is god awful to paint but for point effectiveness it's kinda funny Khorne provides the best long range fire support.

I don't use the cannons. When I do play daemons, I do use 3 until of flesh hounds. They're a pretty solid unit.

Well, seeing as my Khorne demon case has 40 Flesh hounds + Karanak in it....

Yeah, odds are good you'll see some hounds. Especially as the new ones are some of my favorite models.
As for the cannon? I use them. I can't manage to roll for crap with them here in 40k.... But if I could make the rolls they'd work well. Over in AoS I roll fantastic with them.
