This is my list, as it stands, I'd like to get the input of those more experienced with Space Wolfs. I intend this to be Gurren Lagann themed, hence the names, that's how it appears on my word file.
HQ:
Wolf Lord (Lord Kamina)
Runic Armor
Thunder Hammer
Storm Shield
Thunderwolf mount
[225]
Rune Priest (Brother Simon)
Terminator Armor
Combi
[125]
Wolf Priest (Brother Kittan)
Runic Armor
Jump Pack
Melta Bombs
[150]
Troops:
Grey Hunters
X5
Plasma gun
Razorback
Lascannon/Twin Plasma gun
[175]
Grey Hunters
X5
Flamer
Powerfist
Razorback
[140]
Grey Hunters

Elite:

1x Heavy Flamer/Frost blade
2x Twin Wolf Claw
2x Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield
[270]
Land Raider Redeemer
Multi Melta
[250]
Dreadnought (Honored Brother Viral)
Heavy Flamer
Plasma Cannon
[125]
Fast Attack:
Skyclaw pack
X5
Powerfist
Mark of the Wulfen
[130]
Heavy Support:
Long Fangs
Leader + 3
Missile Launcher x2
Plasma Cannon
[100]
Predator
Twin Lascannon
Las sponsoons
[165]
Once I read about the Leaders of the Pack rule I couldn't resist using it. The Wolf Priest goes with the Skyclaws, the Powerfist and mark of the wulfen are on the same model in the skylcaw pack. The plan is to move the grey hunters around the table gunning down any targets that present themselves, and take objectives. Blindly charge in with the Wolfguard and let them have their fun, while the Redeemer has its fun, I was told Crusaders work better but I love the Redeemer. The Combi weapon on the Rune Priest is typically a melta just in case something armored gets close.
Have at it guys, and girls.

Well, overall it is a pretty neat eclectic list and seems pretty nasty overall.
The only things I would recommend are getting Missile Launchers for the Long Fangs as you need more anti-tank more than anything else. Not to mention, with their dual abilities they are definitely worth it.
The terminator unit just looks sick to be honest and would not be one to mess with in my opinion.
Try it out a few times and see how it works, I think with the proper generalship you can go far with this mish mash.

Hey Nick; remember me?
Anyway, this list made me smile. My only critique would be to somehow slip in the Eternal Warrior for your Lord; as it stands, he can easily go splat to something like a Lascannon or a Demolisher cannon (and if you're fighting almost all of my armies, save Pod Marines, these are all my standard choice in weaponry). Yeah, he's got a 3+ save...but that will only take you so far.
That setup with the Terminators is how I run my Deathstar Deathwing unit, as I'm sure you recall.
Damn you Jersey for imprisoning me here; I'd love to throw any of my 2000 lists against this!

If I take out the plasma cannon long fang I think that should be enough points for Eternal Warrior., but that leaves me with 2 missile launchers. Not sure I like that.
And yes of course I remember you, I only need one more terminator head for my Herofish.

I like the list. Only two things I see are, like its beeen said, eternal warrior. My other concern would be the powerfist and MotW on the same model. Doesn't MotW take away any special bonuses you get from weapons? SO your powerfist on the same model with MotW would be waste.
Other than that I like the list.

I need to reread the rules again for Mark of the Wulfen.
I only have 3 long fangs + the leader who can't have heavy weapons, so only 3 heavy weapons. Where did you see a fourth weapon?

Built the list in army builder just to familiarize myself with the way space wolves work. I have the codex too
Runic Armor seems extremely expensive for something that may not even apply in every game, but nobody suggested take that out, is it really worth it?

Runic armor gives him a 2+ save as well as the 5+ vs psychic attacks. I'd expect him to be using that every game.....
Having the WL on the Thunderwolf and no TWC or Fenrisian wolves in the list mean that he is going to be solo the whole game. Or rather he will be solo for 2-3 turns until he is shot dead.....
I'd recommend more AT weaponry. FOr 2k points you don't have a lot for cracking open armor, and much of it is tied up in one vehicle.

[260]
Rune Priest
Terminator Armor
[120]

Melta Bombs
[150]
Troops:
Grey Hunters

[150]
Elite:

Terminator x5
1x Heavy Flamer/Frost blade
2x Twin Wolf Claw
2x Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield
[270]
Land Raider Redeemer
Multi Melta
[250]
Dreadnought
Heavy Flamer
Plasma Cannon
[125]
Fast Attack:

So now the Lord has eternal warrior, I have more armor busting power, and after rereading the MotW rules my Skyclaw pack's Powerfist and MotW are on different models. How's it looking now?

Sorry it took me forever to get to this.
Anyway, I do say. I'd be hard pressed to counter this list with my current armies; that freaking Wolf Lord will most likely hit me by Turn 2 or Turn 1 if you play him right. That will mess up my Guard (and it's good that you gave him EW. My Guard list contains two or three Demolishers, which would have instakilled him).
Just a few more observations:
1). That first Grey Hunter pack; do they have a transport? Or are they just gonna camp on an objective?
2). A triple-las Predator isn't the best build for a Pred, IMO. Preds should be popping enemy transports, and a Pred with an Autocannon and double Lascannon sponsons will accomplish this in spades. Chimeras, Wave Serpents, Razorbacks, you name it; standard transports will die to it. Also, it will make Tyranid MC's pause, along with Daemon Princes, Wraithlords, etc. And an extra shot never hurts.
3). As much as I love things in jump packs, don't you think those Skyclaws are a bit...squishy? It's just five guys. Admittedly, it's pretty easy to hide them behind the Raider and then have them jump out and yell "SURPRISE!".
4). Hahaha, Plasma Cannon Dread. Meester Dreadnought will have a buddy!  (You might want to consider getting him a Pod, and swapping that P Cannon for a Multi-Melta).

Hmmm I like the list alot. Your second list is pretty good. I would tweak a few things. I would lose the twin las on the pred. go with the auto cannon. cheaper and you will get more out of it. Also I would use the extra points to beef up your skyclaws. Skyclaws are best when you can get a ton of attacks with them. so the more the merrier. Also Mark of the wolfen on a sky claw is Manditory.
drop the runic armor off of the priest. he doesn't need it.
I would bring 1 more Lascannon in with your long fang squad. I personally prefer lascannons over rocket launchers.
I would probably not take the flamers with the razorbacks. I would probably go with melta guns.
I like the Plasma dread. The walking dread is a very misunderstood animal. Your opponent will have to do something about it. if its ignored you will kill so much crap with him.
