Wolf Guard Dan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Counter-offensive This stratagem is used right after an enemy unit that charged has fought. Select one of your own eligible units and fight with it next. Yeah so they can only use it on your turn if you fight with a unit that charged. Good catch Saint Ragnar.

Oshikai Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I just hope that i like the Model, considering that I am painting Blackmanes (Although I had the Audacity to change up Shoulderpad Colors), like for many Bill Kings Books where my first 40k Novels and to this day hold a special Place. Would love to add a proper 21st Century Ragnar to my Collection. But lately Characters have been Hit and Miss for me. Here is hoping.

Guest Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 From Valrak vid...always has been a boxset in March plus in coincides with end of UK tax year so pumpa up figures for investors (think theyre a new Primaris unit) etc Could just be cos Ghaz and Ragnar are big model releases but they are hyping up this book more than others eg banner on warcom I'll be very upset if Ragnar is in a box. Not because I will use Ragnar but because our 2 unique models will both be in box's while everyone else's is in clamshells.

Just hope the Ork half is decent so you can find people to split it with :) If our half is just generic/existing stuff esp intercessors Id be miffed too about having to fork out on a box Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/31/#findComment-5485637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 so psyched. got me painting again, finishing up my Shadowspear duders. if it's a box set, i hope it's a little more unique and wolfy than just having Ragnar in it. Not a Tooth and Claw 2: Electric Boogaloo.

lonewolf81 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) i hope its not a box because we will get no new models and everything will be basically a tax to get ragnar (most of us already have enough intercessors, aggressors etc) I dont want to wait half a year to get him separately. If you ask me ... from a marketing perspective...this will probably be a box in order to push as many "already released" models as they can along the two combatants with the new sculpts.

Sarto ripped claw Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 He's gonna be blown off the board 10a on the charge? He will be priority 1 With those aura buffs, there is no reason for him to be charging alone. Let him lead his brothers to maximise protection for being a Character. Once in melee, make sure you take out anything that can threaten him. A WGBL with Armour of Russ to back him would make sure that key enemy opponents strike last. AOR doesn't prevent interrupting I believe. The belt of russ which is what Ragnar will have is onlt the in vuln but the AoR allows nominating a unit to strike last but Ragnar will not be able to take this as he is a named character.

Sarto ripped claw Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Kind of disappointed by ragnars weapon. is S6 will mean unless gazs T is 6 or lower Ragnars not a massive threat to gaz. would prefer him being S7 so he'll be able to take on dread size stuff.

Arentius Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 My thought if we do get litanies is Wolf priest + Ragnar + 6 aggressors. On the hunt Ragnar and the Aggressors (priest can jump pack in) 7" charge with rerolling failures, with 25 powerfist attacks from our Primaris friends and the 10 from Ragnar? Plus 18 wounds of T5 to protect Rags from being shot off the table.

Plus 18 wounds of T5 to protect Rags from being shot off the table. Possible but tricky. Canticle of Hate is chanted at the beginning of the Battle Round so you cannot use it if the Priest has arrived from Reserves. This means your Priest will need to Jump towards your intended arrival area ready for T2. Blood Angels have it easier in that they can use "Upon Wings of Fire" to redeploy their Chaplain without losing the Canticle. Not saying it is impossible, just that it is a little trickier for us to pull off. Another option I was thinking of is this one which substitutes TDA WG for Aggressors and so saves you a some CPs. Put Ragnar in something like an Impulsor for protection and drive him up the field T1. Jump Pack priest with Canticle of Hate follows just behind and hides behind the Impulsor. Then on T2, Ragnar hops out and you DS a group of heavy hitters like TDA Wolf Guard around him to benefit from his reroll charges aura and the Priest's Canticle (assuming Valrak's leaks are accurate). Rerolling 7" charges for 2-3 units of Deep Striking Hammernators is starting to look a pretty dangerous.

NatBrannigan Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Think Ragnar and hopefuilly Wolf Guard / Grey Hunter Intercessors (Stragegem like the Death Company one) can follow my Thunderwolves around in an Impulsor. To much to hope they could go in the new Landspeeder when it's released, although now you've said that it's all I want in the world (except Wolves for characters as wargear and Canids the same for Imperial Guard characters)!

The Saint Ragnar Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Maybe instead of Saga of the Warrior Born he will get Saga of the Hunter in his new form. That would at least allow him to advance and charge, plus he would get his own re-roll. I doubt that will be the case but it's in the realm of possible. Maybe he will even get his points in the book and we won't need a day one FAQ for anything this time!

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'd really like a primaris retro fit option for our flyer, so we could use it as a primaris transport.

The Saint Ragnar Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Valrak put up a video and Faet covered it.
