Claws were made from the old rhino kit bumper blade bits.

 

Best ...I had him in a 1750 list all troop. Ran al the way across the board to flame 10 guard kill a chimera and 2 sentinals. Oh and a command squad.

 

then died finnaly after 5 las cannon hits.

 

 

Worst day...vs tau.....immobilized turn one assault cannon out of range. Didnt die though.

out of the 3 games i've played with him hes never died. i won 2 games and lost 1. he was immobilised in a game i won. i think the only reason i lost my 3rd game was because i switched my list up to include transports and i usually play a 13th company footsloggers list. so my inexperience with transports cost me but it was a learning experience. amazing thing is that i've never gone 1st which was a major reason for choosing bjorn. aanother was so i could hopefully have a free objective and my army would become fearless and that hasn't happened yet either. another thing that cost me that game was i failed to protect njal again. every game he has died by turn 3 at the latest.

I like the idea of Bjorn (with plasma) and two other dreads (rifleman and TL-LC in my case) in close support, with an Iron Priest and some servitors hiding behind them.

 

It will be hellishly expensive, but I will certainly try it in a game or two. I'm sure they could wreak some havoc. Bjorn against light/heavy infantry and light transports, the rifle man against light transports and medium infantry and the TL-LC dread against tanks. Maybe with some MM speeders in support for heavy tanks and several squads of GH.

Still cant convince myself to use him. Beyond the inv. save, I see him as an expensive venerable dreadnought, and very little more.

 

Its the venerable combined with AV13 and his invulnerable save that make him worth the points. Ton of survival potential. Only complaint is lack of extra armor.

 

And since you invested a ton in Bjorn might as well invest the final 80pts for the IP and servitors to serve as a repair retinue. Most opponents will simply stop firing at Bjorn
