Under the leadership of the Warlord Torkvar, the Gorehounds invaded the Laernoth System, shortly before the Great Rift's creation, and fell upon the Imperium Industrial World Laernoth IV. They made short work of the Astra Militarum Regiments protecting the world and Torkvar doomed Laernoth IV, when he unleashed a blood madness upon its population. Anyone infected by it, degenerated into a frenzied killer and soon trillions of the world's population were lost to its madness. As Laernoth IV was turned into a cauldron of carnage, a small Crimson Fists strike force, led by Captain Julias, arrived on the world. They were quickly pursued by the Gorehounds and Laernoth IV's infected population and went underground. This began a six month hunt for the Crimson Fists, which ended after the survivors of the strike force, were able to make their escape aboard a Stormraven Gunship. However the Gorehounds were unaware that the strike force had succeeded in destabilizing Laernoth IV's thermal reactors, which exploded shortly after the Crimson Fists made their escape. This set of a series of firestorms that killed 86 percent of life on the world. The surviving Khorne forces, were then killed by an Adeptus Mechanicus reclamation force sent to retake the devastated world.[1]

Sometime later, the Gorehounds rose again and are now commanded by the Chaos Lord Kalguthar.[2]
