	Hellhounds have gotten a whole lot cheaper on the whole and faster as well. That's good, because they'll need it. The once-frail Hellhound has suffered under the change to tanks as well, meaning that massed infantry fire can pose a serious threat to even its T7 W11 3+ frame. Out of the box a Hellhound costs a mere 101 points, which really helps for what it does. It can pick one of three secondary weapons: a Heavy Bolter, Heavy Flamer or Multi-Melta.

	The Hellhound's Inferno Cannon packs a punch at Heavy 2D6 S6 AP-2 D1, making it effective against most infantry. Sheer number of shots will burn through hordes and allow you to ping medium and heavy infantry well enough. And with 18" range it doesn't have to come too close either. The first pick for a secondary weapon would be the Heavy Flamer but do note that it's got only 2/3-range compared to the Inferno Cannon. The benefit for all of this is that whether it has 11 wounds remaining or 1, this setup is unaffected in terms of damage output.

	The Bane Wolf mounts a [[Chem Cannon]] in place of the Inferno Cannon. Essentially the Chem Cannon sprays a highly concentrated, poisonous gas instead of flame. This toxic cocktail makes short work of light infantry, and because the substance can dissolve through solid material even Power Armor is vulnerable as seals and joins are simply liquified. However, vehicles are much less susceptible to its effects.		The Bane Wolf mounts a [[Chem Cannon]] in place of the Inferno Cannon.

	The Bane Wolf first made its gaming appearance in [[Dawn of War 2]] where it was the unique unit for [[Inquisitor Adrastia]]. Just like in tabletop, the Bane Wolf was excellent against infantry and was ideal for attacking units entrenched within buildings and cover. It also made for one of the best vehicle rushes in the game. It was a pretty common tactic for IG players to surprise summon a metal baux with a Banewolf the moment they hit tier 2 and immediately burn the enemy generator farm to the ground before their opponent could bring anti-tank weapons on the field.

	~~As of pre-Codex~~ 9th Edition, the ~~Bane Wolf's~~ Chem Cannon ~~is in an odd place. While auto-hitting~~ and ~~wounding on a 2~~+ ~~would seem amazing, you only get D6 non-Blast~~ shots ~~doing 1 wound apiece. And sure, the AP -3 is decent~~, ~~but~~ it ~~is extremely short ranged, which makes the weapon difficult to employ~~. ~~Consequently, the Chem Cannon struggles to kill even~~ a ~~single MEQ a turn~~ and ~~doesn't have the volume of fire to swiftly eliminate GEQs either. It~~ is ~~also ineffective~~ against ~~any units~~ with the Vehicle keyword.		With the 9th Edition codex, the Chem Cannon got a noticeable buff, going up to D2 and Heavy D3+3 shots, making it far more effective at killing MEQ. It still has a very short range and is useless against anything with the Vehicle or Titanic keyword, but over all a far more useful option.

	~~The Bane Wolf did have some arguable utility in 8th when OldMarines only had 1 wound each~~, but ~~unless the upcoming Codex gives the Chem Cannon a buff this vehicle is~~ a ~~hard pass for most armies~~.

	In 9th, the Devil Dog and (all Hellhound weapons, really) were turned into Heavy weapons. The melta cannon also buffed to S9 AP-4 D6+2(+4 within half range). While you no longer get penalties to move and fire heavy weapons, you cant advance and fire anymore, but not that you really need too. The Multimelta now pairs very nicely since their ranges complement each other (only the melta cannon has 24"), and while only the Multimelta can shoot into melee, only the Melta Cannon can shoot out of it.

			With the 9th edition codex, the Melta Cannon also got the Turret Weapon special rule, making it noticeably better at actually hitting its targets. However, keep in mind this does not affect your secondary weapon, such as a multi-melta.

	With Power Ratings some of the issues are solved, but not all of them. The Heavy Flamers are now a lot more viable and while Devil Dogs cost the same 5 points as the other tanks, the Multi-Melta still suffers from the same problems. 5 points is still cheap, and can make for some highly mobile (if fragile) heavy weapons fire where your [[Heavy Weapons Squad]]s cannot easily reach them. Overall they are useful, but not the best unit on your roster.		With Power Ratings some of the issues are solved, but not all of them.

	There are several different patterns of the ~~[[Wartrakk\|~~Hellhound]] in use by the Imperium, such as the Artemia Pattern which replaces the vehicle's turret with one that is [[Reasonable Marines\|remotely controlled from inside the vehicle by the vehicle's commander]] which allows the tank to make do with a crew of only two. Other patterns of the Hellhound, such as the more common Mars Pattern, use several smaller fuel tanks that can be hidden inside the remnants of the Chimera chassis' troop compartment. This pattern of Hellhound is preferred by Imperial commanders to the standard pattern of the vehicle since it is similar in appearance to the regular [[Chimera Transport]], making it harder for the enemy to identify.

This pattern of Hellhound is preferred by Imperial commanders to the standard pattern of the vehicle since it is similar in appearance to the regular [[Chimera Transport]], making it harder for the enemy to identify.

	The Hellhound uses a modified [[Chimera Transport\|Chimera]] chassis: replacing its transport capabilities with a heavier engine to allow faster movement, promethium tanks (or equivalent, depending on the weapon in question), and heavier side armor. This increases the survivability of the tank for its primary purpose: to [[Salamanders\|get close to the enemy and melt their faces off]]. The crew that volunteers for Hellhound duty tend to be a rather [[Magic:_The_Gathering\|unhinged]] bunch that [[Sisters_of_Battle\|love to set people on fire and watch them burn to death]]. There are currently three patterns of the Hellhound in use: the Hellhound, the Bane Wolf and the Devil Dog. Like the Chimera, the Hellhound and its variants can field a hull-mounted [[Heavy Flamer]], [[Heavy Bolter]] or [[Multi-Melta]].
