Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Well i finally got my painstakingly converted Bjorn of the desk today for his first game against my friends hybrid ork list. Despite getting Immobilized first turn he continued to lay down accurate plasma fire and accounted for the deaths of, -6 boyz -5lootas -3Nobs -Trukk -1 wound on a warboss. All in all very good performance and will be eager to try him out again (and hopefully remember his invul save...grumble) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202041-good-ol-bjorn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I thought he was a great asset during 'Ard Boyz, and was hard to kill and pretty darn stompy.

Grey Mage Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Especially in those epicly large games where first turn can make or break you he is an excellant choice. Im glad he did well for you ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202041-good-ol-bjorn/#findComment-2407065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo429 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I REALLY want one of the Forge World dreds to use as Bjorn just becouse its BEAUTIFUL.. Alas he is mucho points! thats what I use as for bjorn ive had mixed success with him the first time he was very good against necrons however the second time in 4 rounds of shooting he failed to kill a single fire warrior so I charged him in against a couple of battle suits, he took one out before dying himself and because he was in their deployment zone I lost 3 kill points because I couldnt get anyone close enough think he's good for games where you need to capture objectives because you can off the enemy his side armour and suddendly you have an extra objective in your deployment zone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202041-good-ol-bjorn/#findComment-2407250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Well for the majority of the game I sat a rhino hunter squad beside him incase of a lucky shot from the orks. Luckily it never came to that and they sped away to kill around 24 boyz. I think the benefits of having Bjorn far outweigh the risk of him giving another objective or more killpoints.

Aeddon Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I really like Bjorn. The more I play him the more I'm considering having him be the main HQ in my army. As for the risk that he brings with him I like using that against my opponent. Nothing better than getting an extra objective on my side of the table. At that point I place a GH squad around him whose main job is to stare at the enemy and grin :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202041-good-ol-bjorn/#findComment-2407630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWolfFenris Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I've been torn, I want to include him, but at the same time, vehicles are totally feast or famine for me, either it goes off and destroys everything or gets taken out by a lucky shot 1st turn.

Bjorn gives you 2 tools against lucky shots -venerable to reroll detroyed result -invulnerable save Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202041-good-ol-bjorn/#findComment-2407989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn gives you 2 tools against lucky shots -venerable to reroll detroyed result -invulnerable save Agreed but he's kinda expensive and losing him first turn is a higher probability than losing a different character 1st turn I'm gonna try him out, because it seems people are relatively pleased with his performance.

TiguriusX Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 if you are really worried about losing bjorn assign an iron piriest + servitors to repair him as needed and while opponent is focused on bjorn hammer him with your other units Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202041-good-ol-bjorn/#findComment-2408019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
