Wolf Lord Ragnar Blackmane

The Young King!

Gifted One!

The Allslayer!

Hello everyone! I have been playing Warhammer 40,000 for over 20 years and in all this time, I have never been able to get my hands on this model. Finally, that day has come!

Back in the day, Ragnar had a metal model that I just could not find. Then later, this version I THINK came out in Finecast. Later on that same model came out in plastic, thank the Emperor!

Some models, especially when they have a chunky, low center of gravity, then having Finecast is alright. Not Ragnar, he is launching himself at the enemy with one tip of a boot touching a piece of terrain which is a spike pointing up.

This would snap too easily with a resin model.

Armed with Frostfang, the legendary Forstsword, Ragnar is a whirlwind in melee. He has Warhowl that gives him and his squad Advance and Charge and he has Battle-Lust, granting him extra Attacks and Strength on the turn he Charges!

Ragnar is the main character in the Space Wolf Omnibus by William King. These are the first 3 books in his series:
Space Wolf
Ragnar's Claw
Grey Hunter

There are then three more books:
Wolfblade - also William King
Sons of Fenris - by Lee Lightner
Wolf's Honour - by Lee Lightner

The series starts with Ragnar as a Fenrisian Clansman and goes through his selection process, becoming a Space Marine of the Space Wolves Chapter and then through many many adventures and quests!

I really recommend them as a read!

I am so glad to have him. I will need to get him painted and add him to the Grand Imperial Army and my Space Wolves collection!

Thank you for reading this post!

Cheers!
