First games impressions

Had my first games, impressions on my list are:

Bjorn is insane. Pushed him to centre obj and he soaked so much damage from my opponent. Dealt it back out too. Probably MVP.

Ragnar and bloodclaws are also insane. So many attacks, absolutely deleted units. Even when I missed a charge and got left with Ragnar solo, he still wiped a 5 man unit + char on his own (with some luck saves).

Ballistus was low key good. Pumping out consistent high damage shots, somehow escaped the attention of my opponents and just continued to shoot. Probably helped that Bjorn was causing so much trouble.

Arjac + Terminators, great when the got into combat but I found it a bit difficult to actually get them in. They did drop an avatar of khaine though.

Grey hunters, useful but seemed to be lacking something. I don't know what, just felt like they didn't stand out. Maybe I'm not using them correctly?

Pretty much done with Arjac.

Shouldn't have attached the head or shield before painting, will know for next time.

Also think I've got him on the wrong base... but I can change that later.
