Just tried out Ragnar Blackmane...

I just finished a game against my good friends Iron Hands. I put Ragnar Blackmane in a pack of Grey Hunters and got a second round charge on a 10 man tactical squad. The meltagun vapourised my fenrisian wolf that spearheaded Ragnars pack on overwatch and then I did my charge....

Ragnar hit first and to my surprise and my friends horror 7!!! marines died by his frost blade. I hit and wounded on all of his attacks. Needless to say the rest of his squad took out the remaining 3 tac marines. 

Next round my friend wise from the experience of what happens when you let Ragnar charge took his other tac squad with his Captain and charged. This was when things got really ugly since Ragnar now had 13 attacks from Saga of the Warrior Born. When that CC round was over only 1 marine was still on his feet and the Captain was dead...

I did not see this comming (and neither did my friend) but it was so mutch fun to let Ragnar loose. I think he might have over performed but he was well worth his points and I will for sure use him again :-)

Yep, Ragnar is great, if a bit expensive. There are several old, old threads here about how well he has performed. Always keep a Wolf Guard around to accept Challenges, and let Ragnar do what he does best, which is chew through squads.
Ragnar is great, he's just over costed and very situational. If you can jump him between different grey hunter packs to take advantage of the wolf standards, charge a unit destroy that unit in a turn and then charge another then he is brilliant. If you can't then he's not so great .
