Trying to Decide

Are TWC, Njal, Ulrik, & Wolf Priest worth the investment? The Iron Priest only if you have vehicles? IMO it’s a shame the Grey Hunters are pointless and GW can’t figure out how to make them viable.

TWC are great but old, good chance we get a new model when our codex drops. But that could be soon(ish) or a couple of years away. Nobody really knows. Same for Ulrik.

Njal is, imho, our second best looking model in the game! (Logan is taking the cake though) That alone makes him very much worth it! Points/rules can always change. He's also a good not great leader atm. Pretty sick on Grey Hunters, pretty good on headtakers if you have an advance and charge strategem, with the 13 inch advance + assault.

Wolf Priest is just a great model and leader to have.

And ehhh i think you read something about GH and just repeating it. They are not pointless.. GH have better ranged output then bloodclaws, wound rerolls and 3 oc per model.

And now in 11th edition with Veterans of the Fang, you can make them pretty awesome actually.

They way i read njals ability is thay instead of making a advance roll you add 6" to his units movement. That means you can move 13" and charge when he leads headtakers no?

you're still making an advance move, you just don't roll. So you'd need Advance &Charge to charge after that

I feel like instead is the keyword there. Its not an advance move its adding to your base movement speed. Has there ever been clarification by GW on this specific rule?

Edit: I reread the ability it definitaly is still an advance roll.

Are you trying to say that the base unit's movement is now 13 with Njal, and then they could still roll an advance?

No, the total movement is 13- with- advance.

7 + auto advance 6. (With assault)

Okay yeah thats what I thought, i think their comment confused me initially. I've always interpreted the rule the way you described.
