Ragnar Blackmane Great Company

[knightwing974]

I was wonder if any one has any ideas as to what should be the Apoc formation for Ragnar Blackmanes great company?

This is something I was thinking.

Formation cost: 100 points plus models


HQ Ragnar Blackmane
HQ Wolf Priest

Elites: 30 Wolf Guard

Troops 10 Squads of Grey Hunters
3 Squads of Blood Claws

FAst Attack 2 Squads of Sky Claws

Heavy Support 4 Squads of Long Fangs

Ofcourse they all squads have Drop Pods.

Special rules:

On the Space Wolf players first turn upto half of the Drop Pods may be depolyed. The rest go into strategic reserve.

The Command Drop Pod (which is the one that has Ragnar in it) must be placed first. After the final location is determined for this drop pod, all other drop pods must be placed with in 12 inches of the command drop pod (they may scatter outside this radius).

Once Ragnar is on the board and so long as he is alive the space wolf player may re-roll failed reserve rolls.

Any ideas?

The sheer amount of pods you describe mean it will be awful crowded down there...

First off, there's no rolling for reserves in Apoc. What you want is to give him the "careful planning" stratecig asset.

Second, landing 10+ pods in that small of an area is... difficult.

Third, this is apoc, so do something awesome! I'd personally give all units within 12" of Ragnar Furious Charge and +1 attack, and have Ragnar's unit always get +3 attacks on the charge instead of rolling for it.

Call it cost of units +350. Balanced enough and cool as hell.
