LPetersson Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ok, so not a question about his usefulness, but about his gear. Does he still have a lightning claw or is it a normal DCCW? I'm not one of those people blessed with an early copy of the codex, and although I have perused it in GW (The Plaza, London in case any B&C wolf brother go there) I can't recall what it says, but I think it didn't mention it(?)... I was about to turn an Iron Clad Dreadnought ;) into a Bjorn Model, but I don't really want to give him the wrong arm... (I'm still really annoyed that we don't get ICDs) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178728-bjorn-the-fellhanded/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald sternmark Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ;) quick hijack :P is he an H.Q choice?? cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178728-bjorn-the-fellhanded/#findComment-2114114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpsilver Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ;) quick hijack :P is he an H.Q choice?? cheers Yes. And on the Bjorn weapon question. Assault Cannon, Dreadnaught CCW (with Built in Heavy Flamer) This is his base loadout. May replace the Assault Cannon with a Plasma Cannon or TL Lascannon, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178728-bjorn-the-fellhanded/#findComment-2114117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scotcho Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I thought he had the pc and you could replace it with tllc for 20. Or was it that he had ac and got the pc for free?

Assault Cannon, Dreadnaught CCW (with Built in Heavy Flamer) This is his base loadout. May replace the Assault Cannon with a Plasma Cannon or TL Lascannon, Groovy, thanks :D I'll probably make two different versions of him and glue the guns in place as I really hate swapping weapons...

You could always magnetize the arms. Wouldn't be too difficult.. especially on a dreadnought :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178728-bjorn-the-fellhanded/#findComment-2114138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAVAAR Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Bjorn - 270pts 13/12/10 Venerable AC may be swapped for: PC for free -or- LC for 20pts I do believe his DCCW also counts as a wolf claw(?) the 5+ Invul will come in handy too as will the ability to re-roll for turn and setup I'm still up in the air as to how often I will actually field him though, simply due to his points cost for an armor valued unit (even with venerable and 5+ invul, its still armor).

WolfLordLars Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Not sure that you can post that (the rules)... I have the OLD (read - 2nd ed) Bjorn model.. complete with back banner. They re-used it for the old SW Ven Dread, minus back banner. Now.. I am not sure if I want to use that, or just wait for the resculpted model to come out.

Quillen Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I was told they would not resculpt him. He is what he is. And Logan is what he is and the crappy Ragnar is what he is. No new resculpts cause the guy that does 90% of marine sculpts still thinks they look good. Logan is ok, but come on Ragnar is a joke at best. And was amazing when I bought him in the really early 1990s. Now? Come on.

Grey Mage Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Eh? *shrugs* And theres only two pairs of legs in a tactical box. It never bothered me personally- it reminds me of that Artwork of Leman Russ with his brothers in how hes standing, I always thought it was a great allussion to the old Leman Russ model... sadly OOP now.

Lokkan Of The Long Hall Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Having flipped through the models section of the codex, I think Ragnar, Bjorn and the hammer guy will be redone, since they don't have a picture in the codex, and Grimnar does. Plus, I don't think they'll be able to justify having Bjorn, the greatest dreadnought in the Imperium, in a standard dreadnought body. Especially with a seperate Venerable dreadnought being sold.

Vassakov Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I wouldn't read too much into the pics in the codex - after all, the new IG dex shows the old LRD and Hellhound as well as Straken, and they all had new models within 3 months so yeah... Yay GW logic! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178728-bjorn-the-fellhanded/#findComment-2115080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
