This upcoming week I am going to face off against a nids player, who will most likely be bringing 2 flyrants and lots of carnifexes. Nids being one of my least liked armies to go against, I really want to beat them. I have come up with 2 different lists and am not sure which one to use.

1st-Armor wall

HQ
Wolf Lord
ThunderWolf
Runic Armor
Fangsword of Ice wolf
Storm Shield
Wolf Priest
Runic Armor
Wulfenstone

Elites
Wolf Guard terminators x4
storm shield x4
Thunder hammer x1
Lone Wolf
Thunder hammer/storm shield

Troops
Blood Claws x15
meltagun x2
power weapon
Grey Huntersx10
ccw x9
power weapon
meltagun x2
wolf standard
rhino

Fast Attack
Drop pod
Thunderwolves x6
Storm shield x6
Thunder hammer

Heavy Support
Land raider Crusader
Multi-melta
ex. armor
Vindicators x2
storm bolter x2

-idea is to use land raider and vindicators as shield/screen for thunderwolves and try and have rhino outflank with the special detachment and wolf guard drop in drop pod first turn

2nd list Drop pod

HQ
Wolf Lord
Armor of Russ
Combi-plasma
Fangsword
Wulfen Stone
Rune Priest x2
lvl2 x2
terminator armor x2
Helm of Durfast

Elites
Thunderstrike Formation
5 terminators with 4 combi plasma and 1 assault cannon

Troops
(Grey hunters x10) x2
ccw x9
plasma x2
power weapon
drop pod
Grey Hunters x9
plasma gun
wolf standard
power weapon
drop pod

Fast Attack
Drop pod

Heavy Support
Long Fangs x6
missile launchers x5
Long Fangs x6
h. bolter x5

Idea is to have terminators in drop pod and rune priests with long fangs and both have divination, but durfast will be given tempestus primary. Wolf lord goes with grey hunters in drop pod and thunder strike tries to take down mcs with mass plasma twin linked.

Any advice would be much appreciated, in first list may take arjac shield brother list instead of blood claws in LR, but not sure, not fully set and will to make any changes
