[Contego Warhounds]

 

Within the precise, clinical martial rhthymn of Contego, the warhound scout titan, and its reckless machine-spirit, was seen as a necessary evil. Accurate intelligence was an absolute necessity to perform Contego's famed, precise manuevers, which ensured the warhound would always have a place within the legio. However, its edacious attitude toward battle uncomfortably paralleled the greenskins' base battle-hunger. As such, warhounds, despite the ease of their construction requirements, were ever outnumbered by the number of Contego reavers. A Contego maniple rarely fielded more than four warhounds, who were responsible for each compass direction. 

 

 

The Fire of Damysus

 

The Fire of Damysus was a typical representative of Legio Contego's warhound titans. Originally manufactured during the final years of the Age of Strife, the Fire of Damysus (as depicted above) was armed with a vulcan mega-bolter and inferno gun, a lethal combination against the brutish hordes of the Orks.

Maniples are only 5 Titans strong anyway, so if you're trying to emphasise the Warhound's rareness, it might be best to state that these 'compass maniples' are themselves exceptionally rare.

 

I really need a moment to read about titans in the HH books.
