Are War Hounds bugged?

[Sotnik]

War Hounds don't get enchantments while Spiders and other summoned-in-combat creatures do.

Nor Hounds, nor Spiders get Resistance from Animal Handler.

Is this a bug or am I unaware of some mechanics?

Combat summons aren't part of the "army"

Thanks, this clarifies the second item.

Zombies and Skeletons from Summon Undead seem to get all your racial and unit enchant stuff, though

Reviving a unit on the field tends to count as part of your army idk

They are from the signature spell, and there is a T3/4 staff summoning one zombie each turn


Though the hounds specifically seem to be exempted from buffs, perhaps because the summon already exists at combat start?

If they are of your race, they get your enchantments and transformations, for that they don't have to be part of the army. If of another race (Through Dark Ritual for Example), they get your enchantments and the other races transformations.
"Summon Undead" summons undead from your race.
They do not get army buffs, like the Reapers "Dark Rites" (not to be confused with Dark Ritual...).
Speaking of the Reaper, units that get turned into zombies by the Reapers Finger of Death, don't get any enchantments either, but keep their racial trnsformations.

I'm not sure why warhounds don't get any enchantments.
