A while back I was drafting Wolves list, then real life interrupted, but now I am starting to paint up some Wolves, and now have made a new list.

Also, this list uses the updated Space Marine points and rules that apply to the Wolves.

HQ
-Rune Priest: Chooser of the Slain, Frost Blade, Bolt Pistol, Wolf Pelt (114 points)

-Ven Dread: Assault Cannon, Heavy Flamer, Extra Armor, Drop Pod (200 points)

Elite
-5 Wolf Scouts with a Meltagun (80 points)

Troops
-9 Grey Hunters: 6 bolters, 1 power fist, 1 power weapon, 1 plasmagun. Attached Wolf Guard with a bolt pistol, power weapon, and wolf pelt (240 points)

-9 Grey Hunters: 6 bolters, 1 power fist, 1 power weapon, 1 meltagun. Attached Wolf Guard with a bolt pistol, power weapon, and wolf pelt (238 points)

-8 Grey Hunters: 5 bolters, 2 power weapon, 1 plasmagun (173 points)

-11 Blood Claws: 2 power weapons, 1 fist (182)

Fast Attack
-Land Speeder Typhoon: Typhoon Missile Launcher, Heavy Bolter (90 points)

Heavy Support
-Predator Destructor: Autocannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Smoke Launchers, Searchlight (85 points)

-Whirlwind: Smoke Launchers, Searchlight (85 points)


This totals 1487 points. I was thinking of adding either a pintle mounted Storm Bolter, or a Hunter Killer Missile to the Predator.

For those not familiar with the upcoming SM rules, the Landspeeder's Typhoon Launcher is a Heavy 2 missile launcher now, and half of the drop pods(rounded up) arrive on turn 1

Thoughts? Feedback?

How many drop pods do you have. I see only one.
Footslogging is a slow way to die.
Therefore, I'd stick all GHs and BCs into drop pods as well.

I was thinking of just the one for the Ven Dread so I can drop it into position where I need it. I was thinking with Run it would help ease the need of mechanizing in exchange for more bodies.

Your trading bodies for mobility. Not a bad idea, but you can't shoot when running and your not guaranteed 6" on your run.

Smart placement of your objectives will be important, as will your deployment. Personally I'd trade out all your plasma guns for melta-guns. Better against heavy armor and you can shoot it on the turn you charge.

If I drop roughly 2 models/pack, I can get pods for the Grey Hunters and Blood Claws, so that is a possibility.

As for trading plasmas for meltas for tank hunting, I was thinking that with the new rules for non-walkers in CC under 5th, they should be able to handle just about any vehicle short of a monolith or a land raider since they can all glance Armor 10, and there's a few fists, too.

Also, I toyed with the idea of changing the Whirlwind for a second Pred Destructor. While I lose the indirect fire, I have a lot more potential shots at infantry.
