well at this moment im entirely a foot slogger army. i have a ten man grey hunters, 2 6 man gey hunters, 2 ten man blood claws, and 2 6 man long fangs. i also have enough wolf guard to split off into those squads. i also have njal and wolf priet in termie and power armor. so i have several options to work with but with limited mobility and realize this as a glaring weakness and looking for a few tips.

aye he doesnt fit. for his points he should have had at least a 3++ and eternal warrior but alas no eternal warrior its not very smart for him to be walking.

 

a combo that is dead killy that i liked was ragnar, 3-4 wolf guard with power weapons and a crusader. ragnar is certain to take down a few on his own, and I 5 Str 5 with 16-24 attacks on the charge is quick strong. too strong in my opinion.

 

its best to take ragnar his wolves crusader and maybe 3-4 vanilla wolf guard. that way you dont outright kill your opponent in your assault phase but in his.

so i tried him in my list, and you were right about him not working well in my list the lack of transport kept him from being effective. as a whole i think my army was not as effective as it could be without transports and got bogged down in the middle but so did my opponent so it ended in a draw for my firt match with my wolves. that bein said is he truly only effective out of a landraider type transport, or would a drop pod work for him? im thinking from my experiance tonight that a landraider would be the way to go because the drop pod would leave him to exsposed.

A drop pod could work- he has a 4++, and hes running with a squad, he really isnt that fragile at all.

 

Its just easier to avoid a footslogging squad, so its hard to get him where you want him- in CC.

 

That being said, if your using DPs your going to want to use a number of them, with fast support elements like scouts, speeders, bikes, or rhino squads to support them.

I use Ragnar in a LRC with 10 grey hunters and 1 Wolf Guard w/ TH

 

I am pretty successful with him and he always makes his points back. But again I have to be careful not to get him in base contact with a PF or TH in Close combat.

 

 

But Like Grey said you could use a 15 fen wolves + Ragnar but add 2 wargear fen wolves + 1 WG w/ SS

 

Gives you roughly 18 models plus for about 180 pts to accompany Ragnar across the board

 

 

But realize if anyone has ever played against him, once they see him on the board he will be shot at, and if you drop pod him he will take alot of fire and probably get charged.

 

It all depends on your strategy. For me he works but I have a heavy mech list.

well if your going to dp do it en masse. you send ragnar and squad with only one drop pod dakka dakka dakka dakka!

 

if you must do so. make sure you drop at least one dread with him and hopefully two other squads.

 

so for best bets were looking at 7 drop pods for a good effect.

 

if your using cheap long fangs just give them pods or some other small squad for just this reason.

 

an enemy will likely kill 1 or 2 of your dropped units but getting rangar and gang a dread or more will cause distress and panic in many lines
