Clone Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've been studying the Codex religiously over the past few days and am wondering on the effectiveness of the special characters. I love Njal and Logan, also Arjac looks fearsome though I'm still not sold on Lukas. The only thing that really worries me is the points cost. I play against a mech IG player a lot so the thought of a 6 man Long Fang pack and Logan in a Pod to take out a couple of tanks on first turn is very tempting. What SC have worked for you and what combinations do you find give the best results?

rodgers37 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I used Njal against Slaanesh Daemons, and he worked VERY VERY well, he killed the KEEPER with JOTWW, which was amazing (he could only fail on a 6....) also killed a Chariot, and 5 fiends, i thought i was in for it, when a soul grinder was 12" away from me, with my THs in combat wiht Demonettes, i though Njal and his combi-plasmas where going to die, as there was no chainfist in my squad for some reason..... but then i got my Grey Hunters down behind it, and one Meltagun shot was all i needed :ermm:....

deedark Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Special Characters cost, you just need to weigh up what you get above a normal RP or WLord and judge if the difference is worth it, will you achieve your goal without an SC. Obviously long fangs shooting from a DP isnt going to happen with anyone but logan but then logan costs as much as a unit of GHs with melta in a a pod. D.

rodgers37 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well the wolf lord i am going to make (Kjarl Grimblood) is going to cost 235 ( i could make him 220 or 215 easily, but will lose a couple of useful things, or i could take his Saga of...) and tbh Ragnar is probably better.... but it depends on what you are facing, Njal is great, but might not always be great (against Mech armies in particular....) and it depends on what you want from your army doesn't it? some people like loads of troops, i personally don't....

Captain-Ardias Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have been using Logan in a pod with fangs and aslo Njal in a pod in my 1500 list. Played 3 games now vs, Nidzilla, mech tau and Vulkan fith and not lost any games. Long fangs in a pod with logan is priceless i got a Land raider and a rhino on first turn. The reason i use Njal is he throws up storm caller, Jaws or Living lightning and then his storm. Try seeing guard hit with bs5! andf you get 5+ cover from battle cannon damage but mind you i would drop a dread with multi melta, long fang 4 multi meltas and 7 wolf gurd with combi meltas on turn 1. It stop any mech dead in its tracks, except maybe eldar. triksey sod they are.

Clone Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think I'll use Njal or Logan as my standard HQ's. Mainly I play against 2 Guard armies, 1 mech, 1 infantry, and an Ork army. I can see Logan's abilities useful against Mech Guard and Njal's powers useful against Orks. Has anyone had a go with Arjac or Lukas? Also, is the Logan model shorter than other Terminators or is he the right size?
