I'm looking for some critiquing for my list. Going off Champions of Fenris:

HQ
Njal x180
Terminator armor x0

Elite
Terminator (5) x165
Wolf Claw pair (5) x75


Terminator (5) x165
Hammer/Shield (5) x75
Arjac x115

Terminator (5) x165
Hammer/Shield (3) x45
Wolf Claw/Shield (2) x30


Land Raider Crusader x250
Melta x10
(Arjac and his terms ride in this)

Stormwolf x215
Melta x20
(Njal and the mixed terms ride in this)

Under this formation, the wolf clawed unit (Void Claws) deep strike first turn. Arjac and his unit get +1 toughness and any invuln save made that results in a 6 causes a S8 AP2 hit, randomly done to the attacking unit, with concussive ability. Under Kings guard special rule, they all will be at WS 5.

My plan is to start with the land raider on the board and the void claws dropping that turn. Second turn, thanks to the void claws, so long as one lives, I can re-roll reserves so the Stormwolf should be arriving with the rest of the army. I know it lacks numbers but I think it can possibly hold its own.

Any tips or inputs?

Outside of what you have already said about low model count, I just want to point out that because you are using the shield brothers and voidclaws formations your army is unbound so the mixed unit of terminators won't be WS5 and your list is 10 points over so you would have to lose the multimelta on the raider.

Thanks for that input. Revised is 1497/1500

Kinda like this better cause I was thinking Vikings and Stormwolfs as their boats

at 18 models total and 16 of them being infantry I think this list leaves a ton to be desired. Its fun for a fluffy game or scenario but the second you come up against someone with double or triple the models (and its not hard to get higher) you will be dying in waves to the eventual ones you will throw from massed shots.

Are the termies riding in the ships? if so they have to hover for a full turn once the termies pop out to assault and that gives up your ships pretty easily if the opponent has any sort of Anti armor

They will, Arjac and his men are in one and Njal and his in the other. The lone wolf comes to kill all he can before his own death. As a guard player for many years and Tau more recently, I know that overwhelming tide of both men and bullets. This army is more fun, not tournament but more for my own amusement and enjoyment (though everyone's input helps me decide how of course it will play out and what are some great tips to help me out here as well).

I think you will have fun for maybe one turn

but if all your models are off the table except the lone wolf, all it takes is one lucky shot or a drop pod full of plasma to table you and end the game.

I would suggest either a Land raider, or scrubbing out Njal's squad and putting him in with some blood claws while deep striking the termies in behind cover

This army will also be working as a team up with a close friend of mine who plays Grey Knights.

I checked the rulebook and it states: "Unless stated otherwise, each individual unit maintains its normal battlefield role when taken as part of a formation" so the original army would in no way be unbound since I required 1 HQ and 2 Elites and the two groups of terms counted for that.
