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?
Dropped on third attempt
Any fun builds to try with the profits?
Last model of my 1k list - Ballistus Dread

Why is Bjorn so small
Just got my first ballistus....

Aiming for a list of:
Logan
Bjorn
Ragnar
Arjac
Wolf Guard Battle Leader
Wolf Priest
Bloodclaws x20
Grey Hunters x10
Gladiator Lancer
Ballistus Dreadnought
Wolf Guard Terminators x10
Wolf Scouts
Wulfen (Storm Shield) x5
Scouts
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.
