Showcase: Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance

I recently shared my finished Infernal Enrapturess, the leader of the Slaanesh half of the Wrath and Rapture set. Spurred on by this I decided to paint the hero from the Khorne side, Karanak, The Hound of Vengeance! This three headed pooch is a tireless hunter, the physical manifestation of Khorne’s Vengeance. Karanak will stop at nothing to hunt down the heroes who defy Khorne’s will.

Three heads, this will get expensive with dog toys.

I went for vintage inspired colour scheme with green frills. Funnily enough, when I was hobbying in the 90s I always thought the frill around the flesh hound’s neck was the Collar of Khorne. I never realised it was an actual brass collar until years later.

I haven’t made a tutorial for painting Khorne Daemons (yet) but I do have the paint recipes for them in my Showcase: Bloodthirster post. You can check that out here.

Karanak was the last model I had to paint for all the Khorne Daemons I own. That’s the first quarter of my Chaos Daemon collection done! I really enjoyed painting these and would love to return to them and paint some Khorne Daemon Engines like the Bloodthrone or Skull Cannon. They’ll have to wait whilst I continue my fleeting interlude with Slaanesh. I can’t wait to get all 4 Daemon armies done so I can reward myself with Be’lakor. Maybe after that I’ll start on the 4 mortal human Chaos armies.
