Clone Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm thinking of Podding Ragnar but I'm not sure what to back him up by. A squad of GH's, or a WG squad with SB's and a few WC's. What has worked for you? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188902-ragnar-blackmane-and-pods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannar Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I play all droppod army with Ragnar, he goes in pod with this unit: 1xTDA Wplfguard with Chainfist and Assault cannon 1xTDA Wolfguard with Storm bolter and Power weapon 2xTDA Wolfguard with Storm bolter and Wolf claw This unit works great against almost all enemies (infantry or vehicles), no sweeping advance is no problem, because almost any unit is wiped out in CC....With Ragnar you have Furious charge Termies with possible 5 attacks each, and against vehicles you have S9 + 2d6 weapon with 3-5 attacks, no problem to destroy LR in one turn....In my last game, this unit destroyed 1 Exorcist, One Rhino, 20 battle sisters, Cannones and her retinue of celestians and 3 Retributors with Heavy bolters and I only lost the Power weapon guy (price little more than 2 GH) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188902-ragnar-blackmane-and-pods/#findComment-2235352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm thinking of Podding Ragnar but I'm not sure what to back him up by. A squad of GH's, or a WG squad with SB's and a few WC's. What has worked for you? Another good unit is Ragnar + Arjac + 7xGrey Hunters (1 w/ Melta Gun; 1 w/ Power Weapon; 1 w/ Wolf Standard). Ragnar provides Furious Charge and extra Attacks Arjac provides the high-strength survivable hits Wolf Standard allows all of the rerolls of 1 Grey Hunters provide meatshields and decent close combat ability to augment the others. All in a Drop Pod, of course. DV8 uses this unit and has had good success with it.

Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Can't Arjac only be taken as a wolf guard upgrade? like lukas the trickster with BCs? But yeah i think that Ragnar would be good with wolf guard termies for a deepstriking closecombat powerhouse.

Ravenger Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 so arjac is an upgrade to a group that can be split up into squad leading positions. so i dont see no flaw in the way he was used in that list Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188902-ragnar-blackmane-and-pods/#findComment-2235878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
