Editing Scrollhammer: House Dagoth (section)

====Houndmaster & Blighted Nix Hound Pack====

"''Our herds are sick. And the game animals -- kagouti, alit -- they grow sick, too. When blight storms come, animals walk in the storms. They get sick, get the red taint. Then they go crazy, bite and fight, go mad, kill everything. Without the herds, without the game, we must starve.''"

In the ancient cave complexes, ruins and towers scattered around Vvardenfell, various Sixth House cults are hidden. Here the Sleepers and Dreamers go to when they are exposed, to join in with the well-organized and connected cults.  Here these cultists are prepared for the coming struggle to regain Morrowind- trained to become raiders and irregular troops. All kinds of dangerous creatures are also bred in these well-hidden strongholds. The most fierce Nix-Hounds are being blighted and trained to become frenzied beasts of war. A normal Nix-Hound can already pose a threat to an unprepared warrior or adventurer, having big, rending claws and a sharp mouth built to suck blood from warm-blooded creatures. A blighted Nix-Hound however, becomes large, strong, and almost insanely aggressive and fierce. A team of Dreamer cultists is necessary to coordinate the blighted creatures, and prevent them from attacking anything in sight.

14 pts per Houndmaster. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Ash Creature.  1-3 models per unit.

7 pts per Nix Hound. Elite. Horde, Beast. 5-6 models per Houndmaster.

25mm x 25mm base for Houndmaster, 25mm x 50mm base for Hounds.
