Lumdin Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I dont know what the point cost is for that WG battle leader but he can still be one shotted like Ragnar and has no invulnerability save (Ragnar is 4+invuln). It also depends on what you want to do with him. Ragnar has 4 base attacks plus 1 for the BP and an additional 1 to 3 on a charge. he gives his unit furious charge +1 int +1 str. Means they will go before alot of units. Also one a game he can give any unit that is 12" from him FC also. I have alot of luck with him, but I learned the hard way to watch who he engages or he ends up dead. My 2 cents Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190493-is-ragnar-worth-it/#findComment-2258052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 It tends to vary based on how many points you're playing. Anything above 2000 I'd say he CAN be worth it, just depends on where you stick him. His invul save means he comes relatively cheap versus WL's and WG, not so much WP's...

SamaNagol Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Take a Wolf Priest with Saga of Warrior Born. It's like a budget version. And they make Blood Claws hit like they were super elite veterans against infantry.

Skirax Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Use him against gunlines in a LR or varient, my favourite is Crusader, and run him w/ Blood Claws. Slaughter their way along the line, and the BCs will jump in front of a bullet for him ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190493-is-ragnar-worth-it/#findComment-2258401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsakre Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ragnar is worth every single point. If you want a assault army, then ragnar is mandatory. He is one mean killing machine. The only problem i ever had with him was against a monolith ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190493-is-ragnar-worth-it/#findComment-2258435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My problem with ragnar is that he requiers(sp?) a lot of extra stuff to be worth it. He needs a squad (no biggie, since you're likley to have one :D), he needs an LR to get to his destination, and if the enemy is a smart player he feeds him something small, and then moves away. 12" move+assualt is not far at all, and that really makes it hard to get him into combat more then once per game. At least in my experiance. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190493-is-ragnar-worth-it/#findComment-2259259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
