Having a game this weekend with a couple mates, there's four of us and I'm not sure whether it's two versus two or Free for all. So I made a take all comers list that I hope will be up to par. Not sure what armies I'm against save one, it's an IG army with a Space Marine Ally. He has several psykers as his death star with a LRC full of TH/SS/WC Termis. The other armies are somecombination of either Chaos, Blood Angels or Tau, not sure which two of the three are going to be there. Here's my list that I hope will be up to snuff, unfortunately the models I'm using are all that I have so I can't really change them save changing some weapons if people think it's a better idea.

HQ:
Rune Priest: Master of Runes, Chooser of the Slain, Wolf Tail Talisman, Runic Armour, Storm Bolter, Melta Bombs. Psychic Powers will either be: LL/JotWW or LL/MH
This will be my warlord and I know he's expensive but I really want him to be able to kick ass, he'll be in a pod with a squad of GH attached with a WG

Rune Priest: Wolf Tail Talisman, Runic Armour. Psychic power: Divination Prescience
Will be attached to a squad of LF to give rerolls

Elites:
Dreadnought: Twin-linked Lascannon and Twin-linked Autocannon
He will be a gun platform in the back

Wolf Guard -
WG 1: Power Armour, Power Fist, Combi-Melta - Attached to RP/GH squad to add to attacks and for tank busting
WG 2: TDA, Storm Bolter, Chainfist - Will be attached to GH w/Melta squad that is podding in
WG 3: TDA, Storm Bolter, Power Weapon, Cyclone Missile Launcher - Attached to a squad of LF to add defense and extra missiles
WG 4: TDA, Power Weapon, Assault Cannon - Attached to a squad of HB LF to add defense and shots
WG 5: TDA, Storm Bolter, Power Weapon - Attached to third GH squad
WG 6 - 10: TDA, Storm Bolter, Power Weapon - Will remain as a squad, possibly in third Drop Pod

Troops:
Grey Hunters x8: Plasma Gun, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen, Drop pod
Grey Hunters x8: Plasma Gun, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen
Grey Hunters x8: Melta Gun, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen, Drop pod
Grey Hunters x5: Flamer, Razorback w/ twin-linked heavy bolter

Heavy Support:
Long Fangs: Lascannon x2, Missile Launcher x3, Sergeant with standard equipment - This squad will have Rune Priest with Divination attached
Long Fangs: Plasma Cannon x2, Missile Launcher x1, Sergeant with standard equipment, Razorback w/ twin-linked Lascannon - This squad will have CML WG attached
Long Fangs: Heavy Bolter x3, Sergeant with standard equipment - This squad will have Assault Cannon WG attached

Current plan is to have all the LF and Dreadnought spread out to provide cover and target armour. LC Razorback will be stand alone to draw shots and have an extra lascannon firing. Five man GH squad will be in other Razorback to capture a point or be a fast response unit. Pod 1 will have 8x GH w/ Plasma, WG w/ PA/PF and RP. Pod 2 will have either second Plasma GH squad or TDA Wolf Guard, not sure yet and would like advice on that. Pod 3 will have 8x GH w/Melta and TDA WG w/ Chainfist to arrive later and blast any armour that's proving tricky to take out. If TDA WG go in pod then second Plasma GH will hang back and rapid fire anything that gets to close for comfort.

What I really need help on is GH vs. WG in second Pod? What power weapons to give WG? And any other strategy ideas people might have to give me a hand. Also I have twelve points left over, so if anyone knows what to throw that into I'd appreciate it lol.

Storm bolter is a waste on the RP, he will be casting psychic powers, master of runes is almost never worth it

Have you considered a wolf lord?

Dont see the benefit of the Razorbacks really, its like half armour half pods which imho doesnt really work, i think your long fang packs are a bit small as well to be honest.

You could save a load of points on wolf guard if you take an Aegis line for your Long Fangs which will protect you really nicely and for a fraction of the points.

Grey hunters - just take 10 man packs with the 2nd special weapon for free, a wolf standard and dude with MOTW best way to go imho.

Dreadnaughts are not really great for space wolves in my opinion lot of points for something that can be accomplished much better and more survivably (word?) by the long fangs.

I have considered a wolf lord but the problem is that I only think they're worth running on the back of a TWC and I don't have any.

As far as Long Fang pack size goes, again I don't have anymore and some are all I could borrow from mates.

No Aegis unfortunately or I would've.

My main problem is that I'm limited by how many troops I actually have and can borrow. What's above is basically all I have besides a box of Fenrisian Wolves. I did the best I could to make it work with what I had.
