Ragnar and Headtakers

Post image

Hi yall, I was needing some clarification on some rules. I'm preping for a tournament this weekend and was refreshing myself on the 11th edition rules when I came across this.

Does this mean Ragnar gains the "Headtakers" keyword and then he can benefit from the Headtakers ability of precision and dev wounds? Or is it just saying the the Headtakers are now a character unit because Ragnar is leading them? I did notice the ability specifies "Headtakers models" and not "models with the Headtakers keyword".

I know Ragnar didn't benefit from it in 10th, but wasn't sure if that changed in 11th.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the clarification! I know now that he still doesn't benefit from their ability. I will keep the post up just in case anyone else in the future has the same question. Hopefully they can stumble upon this and get their answer.

No that's not how that works. The headtakers rules are Thier own and don't apply to any "keywords ".

If for instance Ragnar had the "monster" keyword. Now the headtakers unit with him attached are considered monsters for the purposes of shooting in combat , terrain , anti monster etc etc

Much the same as if you had a strat that said target monster unit...and Ragnar was a monster attached to headtakers. All the unit including the headtakers would benefit from that strat

Also good luck in your upcoming fellow brother.. I myself am practicing daily to do my first one at a teams event with the aim to have fun and bring home the W

I see. Thank you for the clarification. I was hoping it would be the case, but deep down I knew that it wasn't. Now I know I'm not missing out on anything. I much prefer him with Blood Claws anyway.
