Hey dakka, I recently converted up a custom Ragnar Blackmane and I am looking for help about how to use him effectively.

On paper he seems like gak, at least for his price. Any ideas? The furious charge is very good but not worth 200 points..

Note*** I have no intention of running the blackmanes formation. Not because it is cheese or anything, just because I don't have the models.

Ragnar eats MEQ and below. Just keep him away from 2+ Armour or anything that hits faster, harder and more time than him and he's good. Having 3+/4++ means he will die fast to Power Weapons in high quantity but as long as you keep him in a unit and keep challenging you're usually good. (aka don't pick fights with anything with 2+, above 5 or 6 attacks at Initiative with AP3 and below, or anything with lots of T/W). Take a Stormwolf and pack them full of Bloodclaws with him. They eat anything that isn't a Terminator (or a GUO).

Otherwise if you insist on having 2+, take the model as a Wolflord with Rune Armour and weapons of your choice instead.
