MeatGrinder Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Does anyone use Njal these days? Hes quite expensive, only has 2 wounds, but his stave and his passive ability are quite strong. Not to mention that he knows all the SW powers and is level 2. I really dont think TDA is worth it on him though. Is he worth his points? He'd be the same cost as BOTH of my current rune priests.

Wulfebane Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I usually only use him on 2k+ battles and/or if I know I'm going up against a DoA BA army. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272488-njal/#findComment-3323618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwolfalpha Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I find him quite useful in high point drop pod armies, he can get in nice and close and will have backup to keep him alive and help reinforce his unit. Surround him with grey hunters and a Dreadnought so he can use his crazy storm abilities while the other units tie up cc units and blow up armour. I have never tried it myself, but I have heard people have had a lot of success with him in an IG blob. He may not be the most survivable hq or the meanest, but when a list is built to his strengths and has over 1500 to play with, he can be quite effective and fun. (Also very frustrating when dice go bad) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272488-njal/#findComment-3325960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Bretton Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 i use him in a 1k list for a laugh, but everyone at my gaming club tends to use silly units, i find he is pretty useful, especially against armies like gk where he can just stop all their abilities Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272488-njal/#findComment-3326035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonarmy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 a friend of mine runs him in his 1500pt list as his only HQ. he loves his innate abilities. I think he is too pricey in the TDA my mate runs him in as i can get 2 rune priest for the same cost but he works for him Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272488-njal/#findComment-3326997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiders13 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I only take him when I'm running my IG blob. His reroll LD test has saved me a few times Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272488-njal/#findComment-3327757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichfaust Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sadly Njal has not gotten better with age--For how much you pay for him; his storm powers are pretty meh (the fact that a couple of them are totally negated if you go second is pathetic, tbh), Nightwing is also pretty lackluster... imagine if you dropped 270 points on a Tzeentch Psyker HQ. You're looking at 2+/3++, Level 4 mastery, and I hate to think what other kinds of ridiculous chaos artifacts you could laden him with. Consider you could very nearly take 3 barebones Rune Priests for the price of Njal in TDA--Sure, he might still have some niche appeal, but is he better than 3 Rune Priests? No he most certainly isn't. The Stormcaller is sorely in need of an update.
