Kings of War: Shadowhound Troop
Dark shapes streak across the battlefield—howling terrors born from fear itself. The Shadowhounds are relentless predators, tearing into their prey with speed and ferocity before fading back into the gloom.
Product Info:
The Shadowhound Troop is a fast attack unit for the Nightstalkers faction in Kings of War.

With speed, mobility, and enough bite to threaten light or damaged units, Shadowhounds are a vital tool for aggressive Nightstalker commanders.

Tactical Overview:
Shadowhounds shine when used to flank, chase down wounded enemies, or stall key enemy units. With their speed and Thunderous Charge, they hit hard on the initial strike, while Nimble and Pathfinder let them navigate terrain with ease. Pair them with heavier Nightstalker units like Butchers or Reapers for a combined-arms assault.
