=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Captain Gunnbjorn is a ranged superiority warlock. Between Snipe, Guided Fire, Rock Wall, and his feat, he has a scary ranged game, to the point where Gunnbjorn can go toe-to-toe with Cygnaran shooting.

Gunny offers you a powerful option for a ranged attack army. For a faction that prides itself on melee and bricking being able to reach out and touch some one is a huge advantage. He offers you the ability to shoot up your enemy at range, then smash the remaining poor souls that weren't lucky enough to die already.

===Feat thoughts===
His feat is obviously best used defensively; either to stop a feat or to stop one round of incoming fire.

===Spell thoughts===
* Rock Wall is really useful for blocking charge lanes or providing cover.
* Guided Fire gets spammed as (functionally) free focus.
* Explosivo is very much a utility spell. You want it in case of incorporeal enemies.
* Snipe is best cast early and upkept.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* He runs a pretty much exclusively ranged game.
* His feat is anti-ranged so vs melee armies (which is many games) it is near-useless.

===Tricks & Tips===
* Rock Wall can be really obnoxious when placed in front of a Colossal/Gargantuan, leaving nowhere for it to advance and put their base.
* The [[Glacier King]] assassination requires Captain Gunnbjorn, a Glacier King, the [[Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes]] with the Northkin UA, and a [[Bog Trog Mist Speaker]]. Gunnbjorn activates and casts Guided Fire and then casts Snipe on the Glacier King, the Mistspeaker gives it Guidance, the Krielstone gives it +2 POW, and the Glacier King then puts out three fully boosted magical POW 16 Magical attacks with Eyeless Sight with a threat range of 21" (and there's the potential for Kill Shot charges).

=List Building Advice =
===Strategy===
He wins by simply shooting the enemy off the board. Alternatively, he can use his feat to deliver a more melee-orientated force.

===Theme thoughts===
{{Header|[[Kriel Company]]}}
This appears to be his natural home as he's a ranged warlock
* any solo in this theme to provide Mark Target. Pyg Lookouts are not as needed in this theme for this reason.
* [[Northkin Raiders]] are a nice skirmishy shooty unit that can benefit from Snipe.
* [[Trollkin Highwaymen]] - Become a pretty good unit with Snipe.
* [[Pyg Burrowers]] or [[Pyg Bushwhackers]] both like snipe to aim, due to pitiful Rat.
* [[Thunderstone Brug]] - With him and Snipe Bushwhakers can shoot into enemy deployment turn 1. He is also otherwise useful to any ranged unit in your army, of course.
* [[Fire Eaters]] - They do not benefit from Snipe, but on feat turn they can spray over each other, to light each other on fire without actually damaging each other.
* [[Trollkin Barrage Team]] - A premium ranged unit with excellent guns. Snipe pushes their shooting range to silly levels. You can never go wrong with a couple of these.
* [[Thunderstone Brug]] - A great damage buff for ranged units as well as a speed buff to get into position faster. With Snipe and his movement buff, [[Pyg Bushwhackers]] can shoot into the enemy deployment zone turn one.

{{Header|[[Storm of the North]]}}
Most of the units available in Kriel Company are also available in this theme.
SotN gives him free upkeeps on his units and he can even upkeep Snipe or Explosivo on [[Rök]], a [[Winter Troll]], [[Ice Troll]], or [[Glacier King]] for free.
* [[Pyg Lookouts]] are a to hit buff, synergizing well with ranged models. The ambush threat is also very useful.
* [[Battle Bears]] & [[Bumbles]] - For even more ambush! Use them to make the sides of the table off-limits to your opponents models, then use terrain and Rock Wall to further limit where they can go and funnel the enemy army into your firing squad.
* A [[Glacier King]] is an excellent piece for Gunnbjorn. A free upkeep of Snipe thanks to the theme benefit and +2 to cold damage from the [[Northkin Elder]] really make the king sing when combined with Guided Fire, Rock Wall and Killing Shot! Add in a [[Bog Trog Mist Speaker]] for Guidance.
* [[Rok]] - He can Assault, Berserk until everything in melee is dead and then trigger a 2nd spray off the last kill thanks to Killing Shot. With Guided Fire to help his Rat 5. Explosivo with a Spray (or two) can also be really back breaking for tightly packed infantry.
* [[Trollkin Champions]] - They love Rock Walls and not being shot at due to the feat and can do some serious work.
* [[Horgle Ironstrike]] - A Hot Shot ranged beast is an excellent supplement to Gunny's force and he can protect Horgle with Rock Wall and the feat. You can even go all in and run two Glacier Kings, one on Gunny and one on Horgle, to great success.

{{Header|[[Band of Heroes]]}}
The lack of ranged units means Gunnbjorn doesn't do that much in this theme, although he's not unplayable in it.
* [[Trollkin Fennblades]] - His feat is a great delivery system for fast units, keeping them safe from shooting for a turn. He doesn't have to go all ranged, and that is a good thing.

{{Header|Support Models (Various themes)}}
* The ever-present [[Krielstone]] can be hard for Gunnbjorn to charge up on turn one, but is really useful for ranged duels.
* [[Bog Trog Mist Speaker]] - Eyeless Sight is great for any ranged model.
* [[Lynus & Edrea]] - Anti cloud tech and Applied Knowledge to boot.

===Battlegroup===
* [[Dire Troll Bomber]] - It's already a great warbeast, and loves everything Gunnbjorn does for it, up to and including the Kill Shot. And Gunnbjorn loves Far Strike.
* [[Dozer & Smigg]] are his pet warbeast, so he can take them in any theme. They're pretty good at killing infantry and much more fury efficient than another Bomber. And again, they love Kill Shots.
* [[Earthborn Dire Troll]] - Rock Walls trigger its elemental communion and with any damage buff (so the Pyre or Slag Troll) it his like a real heavy while having premium stats.
* [[Mountain King]] and [[Glacier King]] - Both have nice ranged attacks. The Glacier King in particular loves both Guided Fire and Snipe and you can upkeep on it for free in Storm of the North.
** Also see the tricks section for the Glacier King assassination.
* [[Winter Troll]] - Actually vaguely useful with Guided Fire.
* [[Slag Troll]] or [[Pyre Troll]] - Both have great guns to abuse Killing Shot with and pack melee damage buffs.
* [[Troll Impaler]] - The Impaler gives you Far Strike at a cheaper price tag than the Bomber.
* [[Ice Troll]] - Swift Hunter lets you dive behind Rock Walls after shooting.
* [[Dire Troll Mauler]] - Gives you the melee hitting power and damage buff.

===Rules Clarifications===
{{RCbox2|Name=Feat: Fortifications
|list=* His feat makes you immune to stuff like [[Blight Storm]] or [[Affliction]]. Because you don't take a damage roll at all, those abilities can't make you ''"take 1 point of damage if the damage roll that fails to exceed ARM."''
