For the un-enlightened... Who's that? What's the old sculpt look like?

Quote:
Ragnar Blackmane is exceptional in every sense of the word - a great leader of men as well as a talented warrior. Born to the Thunderfist tribe in the far reaches of Fenris, his audacity and fierce spirit made him perfect for the ranks of the Adeptus Astartes. Now, though he excels as the lord of his own Great Company, Ragnar has proved that his greatest skill lies in the execution of space drops and planet strikes. Grimnar regularly chooses Ragnar's Great Company to spearhead planetary invasions.

Ragnar Blackmane is an iconic character to lead your Space Wolves army. You will want him at the front of every major assault, where he will rip through your opponents' forces with brutal efficiency - then laugh and rip them up some more. Ragnar Blackmane is a combat monster, who will bring your opponents a world of pain.


In a nutshell, he's a novel character who became the youngest company leader ever, I think something along the lines of being called the "Young King" by many because of this.

Personally I doubt it, the current sculpt, while old, is an excellent Goodwin sculpt that goes to show just how well he designed the current patterns of power armour.

So, for me a big fat effing NO, the mini has aged well in my honest and humblest of opinions.

Ahhh, nice. I may be wrong, but aren't Space Wolves renowned for using old and archaic pieces of equipment, so far as to even scavenge them from renegades? It makes sense that his gear is a bit dated.

Normally I´d say no,
buuuuut considering the fact that Marneus, Tigurius, Asmondai and Kantor
have new(ish) sculps, it could be possible that sometime in the future they
might do it, but then again no other models sculps have been updated so.....
I feel kinda confligted here..... if not when new codexes get updated,
then they never will.... maybeh.... >.>"

o.o ...........I´m different???

I think the model still holds up well compared to the current range of models, I see no need to replace it, not unless the model is bound to go through a radical change in gear and appearance.
