Trying to decide on having the TWC as a large pack or two smaller ones each with a pack leader PF/SS and two regular just with storm shields.

The overall goal is to for my opponent to have to deal with two drop pod melta units (dreadnoughts most likely), 2 rhinos going for objectives, and 1-2 units of twc racing up the board along with 3 units of long fangs sitting backfield on objectives with missile launchers.

Thoughts?

Anyone could use some C&C before I play test, currently assembling the thunderwolves then im good to go.

Drop the Chainswords on the TWC and give them BP. Chainswords do nothing without a second close combat weapon so you might as well give them pistols so you can fire before you assault and shoot in overwatch.

Other than that, I personally might split the TWC into two groups of three to split my opponent's fire against all the threat coming down on this board but I think that's up to you. It's a really solid list in my opinion.

I would split the pack in to 2 and run 1-2 with PF and SS, the rest claw and either pistol or another claw.

That's how I like to run them anyway.

Personally I'd also drop a unit of LF and take a lone wolf with terminator armour, WC and Fenresian wolves. I'm sure many would disagree but when I get my lone wolf in to the mix he's pretty devastating.

This would be the setup with the groups split ... any other feedback? Thanks so far.

I'd still drop some long fangs in favour of either lone wolfs or wolf guard terminators...latter you can deep strike with

I wouldn't. 2000 points means there's going to be armour and I think that three squads of LF means that you have plenty of firepower to deal with it while also meaning that your opponent doesn't get one lucky strike and take them all out in one turn.

I'm going to repeat myself on the TWC. Drop the Chainswords and give them Bolt Pistols. The only difference between Chainswords and Bolt Pistols is that you have at least some kind of shooting for overwatch.

you could drop one squad of LF's and add 2 Rune Priests and add one to each remaining LF's and allow them to reroll failed to hit rolls! You can also take Harold Deathwolf instead of your wolf lord and save another 30 points. This way one of your squads can outflank and with Acute senses you can reroll which side they come in on. Or at the least you can give your TWC Furious Charge which can help the Chainswords out. Other than that I like the GH plasma squads in Rhinos and the metla squad in a pod. Not a big fan of Dreads but I think having 2 both with heavy flamers in pods might be the way to roll with them.
