This week we find the elusive Astral Hounds. (OK, not that elusive, since I can just look them up in a book.)
Astral Hounds were spectral dogs from the warp. I picture them as a very early incarnation of the Dark Eldar Warp hounds. However, I will let the original content explain. (I do not write as well as the forefathers of 40k.)
So, those could be fun for a "wild card" in 5th ed games eh? Thoughts?
Reading this again, it reminds me of the Doctor Who episode 'Survival', which had cats, cat-people and jumps to another world. That was the late '80s too.
ReplyDeleteAs wild-cards, why not? Half of Rogue Trader could be brought back in some form or another. As I wrote on the last post, why is all this good material sitting unused? Couldn't it be tidied up and put out as optional source material? There's a lot of interet in this kind of thing from the older players, and younger too with the internet spreading the word.
Sounds like a special scenario rule, although one that puts psykers are considerable disadvantage. Maybe something could be done to offset the risk... maybe supercharge the psychic powers in the scenario?
