Ragnar Lodbrok

Rigs Jarl of Norsca

Ragnar has led his Fyrd in many fierce battles, and his luck and battle prowess have caused him to be feared in many lands. His great Raven Banner has been endowed with mystical powers, and his sword has cleaved the skull of many a foe.

Ragnar is considered in all the Northlands to be the very epitome of a true Norscan.   Ragnar has fought many a battle with Chaos and with rebellious Jarls.  He has united the lands of Norsca under his rule and he has created a unified army to confront those who would invade the lands of Norsca and to lead against his enemies.  His great Reafan (Raven Banner) was embroidered by his mother whom some say has the blood of the Norns in her veins, she is said to be a great wizard and runecarver, and it is with her aid that Ragnar has conquered his enemies.

MAGIC ITEMS

The Sword Greyfang

Greyfang was created for Ragnar by three of the most powerful Runecarvers in Norsca.  It was presented to him as a gift during his quest to unite the Norscan peoples.

Greyfang allows no savings through for ordinary or magic armour, and gives +2 to the wielder’s Strength.

Rune Armour

Ragnar's Rune Armour was created for him by the same Runecarvers that created Greyfang.  It has given him a great deal of protection in his battles.

The Rune Armour gives Ragnar a 3+ magic armour save.  This save is not modified by any non-magical weapons.

The Skan Crown

The Skan Crown was created for Ragnar by the ancient Runecarver Harald.   It inspires confidence in any troops led by Ragnar.

This iron crown gives the bearer a Ld of 10, the leader and any unit he leads take Ld tests on an unmodified Ld of 10. The wearer and any unit he is with has an unmodified magic save of 4+, this is not a dispel.

 

Ragnar's Battle Standard Bearer must always carry the Raven Banner.

The Raven Banner....................175 points

Ragnar's Raven Banner was created for him by his own mother, who was said to be a powerful Runecarver.  The runes contained within it inspire troops close to the banner to great acts of courage.

All units within 12 of the Raven Standard take any Psychology or Break tests on an unmodified Ld of 10. In HtH combat, Break Tests are always taken at a value of 10, even if combat results and bonuses would otherwise reduce the value to less.

Ragnar’s Standard Bearer Only
