This is just something I knocked up and I'd like your opinion.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark at around 1500-1750 pts.

Why a powerfist? The mark of the wolfen can't be used with special weapons so why a 1 attack powerfist? Otherwise it looks interesting.

It's just in testing. The power fist wouldn't go onto the guy who is wulfen.
General consensus is that it don't work. I can see everyones argument against and TBH it does look like a waste of points, but only testing will prove it's worth - or waste lol.

A friend at my FLGS tried the list...

The fists weren't all that, bit of a points loss really.

He tried 1 TH in the TWC and that was freekin nutz. 5 attacks on the charge with a TH is really impressive.

The TWC took out an Ork trukk and several boyz even before the TH got a look in. Rending is just gravy on these guys. They then moved on to destroy 2 out of 3 Kans in a single combat phase with just rending attacks and then the TH killing the last one off.
The other TWC with Canis wandered through 2 huge units of boyz in three turns. Canis himself took out 7 boyz in one phase.

TWC are, as I said before, FREEKIN UBER!!!

The Long Fang support was apparently immense, bringing 3 HB to bear onto the big boyz squads and the Lascannons onto the Trukks leaving boyz in the open to be killed off by the GH and assault from the F.Wolves. I still think I'll have trouble with AV:14.

The wolves were awesome meat shields and even killed fair amount of Orks. Three units went ahead of the army and one stayed to produce a meat shield for the Long Fangs.

All in all a good showing.
