Sandbox / Hounds Of War Dark Designs

Go To

The engineering division of the H.O.W., which build and supply the Hounds with their weapons of war.

Out of all the Hounds, this one gets the least respect from Khorne, as they do not do the slaughtering themselves and only give the actual fighters what they need.

The Crafters

    Dell Conagher the Engineer 
Dell Conagher, God of Percussive Maintenance (The Engineer, Engie, Revengineer)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/engywithsg.png
  • Intermediate god
  • Symbol: His Uhlman Build-matic wrench. Or alternatively, a Level 3 Sentry
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Supplies: Any form of technology, most notably Turrets
  • Reason For Joining: The Mercs are constantly fighting over meaningless property, so joining the Hounds seemed like a good idea. Though Pyro and Medic do have loyalties in the GUAC as well, and the Soldier, Demoman, and Engineer have friends in the GUAG.
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: As long as they got the cash and skulls to bash, He’s in.
  • Value To Khorne: While he’s the least Ax-Crazy of the Mercs, that’s not saying much.
  • Threat Level: Moderate, High in Ubercharge.

    Shou Tucker 
Shou Tucker, God of Warped Entitlement (The Sewing-Life Alchemist)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shou_tucker_brotherhood_1.png
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: His State Alchemist license
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil (that's not what he thinks)
  • Supplies: Chimeras, which are usually made out of the Hounds’ Prisoners of War
  • Reason For Joining: After losing his State Alchemist license, he joined the Hounds to show off his creations
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: Dr. Tucker will stay loyal as long as they give him glory and preferably his State Alchemist license back
  • Value To Khorne: none, as he’s just a Mad Scientist with no combat ability.
  • Threat Level: Low by himself, his Chimeras could be dangerous

    Syndrome 
Syndrome, God of Glory-Seeking Villains (Buddy Pine, Incrediboy, (Baby)Sitter)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/syndrome.png
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: The S on his suit
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Supplies: The Omnidroid series of robots.
  • Reason For Joining: As his Engineered Heroism attempt failed, he joined up as a literal Glory Hound.
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: Low, this is mostly a mutual lack of trust due to the incident in the 1960s.
  • Value To Khorne: Low.
  • Threat Level: High, he managed to kill just about every superhero in his universe!

The Death Dealers

The Team Benefactors and Arms Dealers to which the Hounds are customers of.

    The Corpus 
The Corpus, Celestial Conglomerate of Corporate Warfare (Refrigerators)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tv_tropes_corpus_faction_7265.jpg
  • Intermediate Gods altogether
  • Symbol: Their common logo pictured in the right
  • Alignment: True Neutral with leanings on Neutral Evil
  • Supplies: Money
  • Reason For Joining: Only in It for the Money
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: High to Sundowner, Moderate to everyone else
  • Value To Khorne: None, as they only wage war for cash rather than for glory or sadism.
  • Threat Level: High, as an extremely large military organization that acts as the closest there is to a stable government in their realm

    Marcus Kincaid 
Marcus Kincaid, God of All Small Arms and Their Exploitation (The Gunbringer)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TB7-marcus-kincaid-statue_3970.jpg
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: The holy smiling mug of his current physical form
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Supplies: Weapons, and lots of them
  • Reason For Joining: Marcus sees a Forever War as an infinite source of revenue, as the Hounds would want his products for all of eternity
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: Low, as he’s also selling his products to all the other Alliances.
  • Value To Khorne: None.
  • Threat Level: High, Borderlands won the Guinness World Record for most guns in a Video Game, making his products nigh-completely unpredictable.

    Nigel West Dickens 
Nigel West Dickens, Snake Oil Salesman to the Gods (N.W.D., Mr. West Dickens)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nwd.jpg
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: A bottle of his “elixir”
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Supplies: “Magical Cures” that actually do nothing
  • Reason For Joining: Nigel sees a Forever War as an infinite source of revenue, as the Hounds would want his products for all of eternity
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: Low, he’s selling his products to all the other Alliances
  • Value To Khorne: None
  • Threat Level: Very Low, as none of his products do anything that could even vaguely help the Hounds.

    The Slavers 
Cristu Bulat, Tiberiu Bulat and Vera Konstantin, Unholy Triumvirate Of Human Traffickers (The Slavers)

Top to bottom-Cristu, Tiberiu and Vera
  • Quasideities (Tiberiu is a Demigod)
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil (Cristu Bulat and Vera Konstantin), Chaotic Evil (Tiberu Bulat)
  • Supplies: Human Women
  • Reason For Joining: As Slave Traders, these three made a deal with the High Warmongers that they could supply the Hounds with troops
  • Loyalty To The High Warmongers: Medium.
  • Value To Khorne: High for Tiberiu, None for the rest
  • Threat Level: Low, only one of them can actually fight and the human women they supply rarely have any combat experience.
