I feel like one of the Grimnar options is a MUST HAVE for his "High King of Fenris" rule alone even if you deep strike him solo. The rest kind of depends: Bjorn is the second mandatory choice if you play CoR detachment because he can complete sagas the best. He is still strong in other detachments because of his reworked CP ability. When you run Stormlance Harald and Canis are solid cheap choices. In CoR or Gladius Ragnar is also very good. For the generic characters just use the established ones. WGBLoTW and WLoTW in Stormlance, Phobos Lib in Infiltrators if you want, Murderfang in CoR, LwCW for a lone operator, Ironpriest in Ironstorm, Gravis Captain in Agressors with Fire Disipline in Gladius ... and so on.
Solo grimnar had been very handy for scoring secondaries for me at least and once he's done his "waarrgh" he's great for killing chaff to farm CP as he's only 100 points so can also be used for trading
Have you thought of trying a PL in Terminator armour with Ulrik? 3-4 more power weapon attacks with full rerolls + solid shooting and extra protection for Ulrik. And rerolls to battle-shock for 35 points. Just means his unit never fails their battle shock tests.
Van Vets aren’t that terrible in wolves tbh especially in champs. We’re almost always picking sustained hits start of game, so these guys end up being sustained 1+ lethal hits at str5 which is a good breakpoint especially so when factoring in lance. They can punch up decently well
Techmarine + Bjorn = True "Oh, you wound me with 16 power fist, I saved 11 with AoC, made 2 FNP and I heal 3 with the Techmarine so... Guess Bjorns back with full wounds." True story. Got charged by 10 terminators, 8 got to fight, healed back to full in my turn. Felt a little bad for my opponent ngl.
What do you think of the regular captain + black death enhancement combo? Once per battle he gets 9 devastating wounds on a 4+ with 2 damage each. Black death seems like too good of an enhancement to pass up.
In CoR it he can definitely be playable. I wouldn't take him over Ragnar personally but maybe over Judicar. Or put it on Jump Pack Captain and add to jump intercessors

Yeah Logan and Bjorn should be in most lists. And detachment and enhancements definitely changes the character choices.

@@almostfunctional40k Black death with twin lighting claws for the rerolls are a good option i think.
