Warhounds is a 1996 tabletop game supplement published by Iron Crown Enterprises for Silent Death: The Next Millennium .
Warhounds is a supplement in which Escort class vessels are introduced—specifically Corvettes, Frigates, and Destroyers. These ships represent the largest warships typically deployed in the game's universe. Escorts occupy two hexes on the map and bring significantly enhanced capabilities to the table, including superior weapon systems, advanced point-defense arrays, and upgraded electronic warfare tools. The supplement provides comprehensive rules for building and fielding Escort-class ships, offering a full design system along with six fully developed example ships and multiple scenarios to showcase their use.

Andy Butcher reviewed Warhounds for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall, and stated that "The book adds a fair bit of complexity to the Silent Death system, but it's well worth the effort – these large ships add a whole new level to the strategy and tactics of the game." [1]
