Hey there, I just returned from a long break, so I've got 2 new army lists ready to be posted. Here's the first one- as hte title suggests, it's mostly long fangs. Just because.

Long Fangs!

HQ:

Ragnar Blackmane- 240

Troops:

9 Grey Hunters, Rhino
Melta gun, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen- 200

9 Grey Hunters, Rhino
Melta gun, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen- 200

9 Grey Hunters, Rhino
Flamer, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen- 195

Elites:

3 Wolf Guard, 2 Combi Meltas, 1 Combi Flamer, Powerfists- 129

Heavy Support:

6 Long fangs, Razorback
5 heavy bolters- 155

6 Long Fangs, Razorback w/ TLLC
3 Rocket launchers, 2 lascannons- 245

6 Long Fangs
5 Rocket Launcers- 140

Total: 1504

This list has a LOT of fire support, some nasty close combat in the form of Ragnar, and 3 troops.

List 2 will be a terminator list.

Oops, messed up some points. fixing that now.

Any Feedback? I'm considering playing this list very soon, so I would love to hear some comments.

Ragnar coming out of a Rhino...I'm hesitant; however, with so much firepower covering him seems like a viable option...

I think at 1500 you should be alright as long as you prioritize your targets...don't let them piecemeal your units. Keep them together and moving and you'll do fine.

It feels like you want to combine two army themes into the relatively small points limit of 1500 and neither of them work well together; I'd drop Ragnar and maybe a squad of Long Fangs, and instead purchase a Rune Priest and some Lascannon/ML Dreads for fire support.

This is just me but 5 HB's is really just a waste of points these guys are incredible long range fire support that can split their fire more Plas cannons and las cannons IMHO. I would do something like 1 Las cannon and 2 plasma cannons in each squad the points should work out almost exactly.

hi, new to Dakka, wanted to post on your list.

personally, i would drop Ragnar, and use either two Wolf Priests as their abilities can enhance two squads.

i know that per Ragnar's rules he can technically affect more than one pack, but with the Wolf Priest, you spread bonuses to two separate squads without having the bulk of your army close to Ragnar to get amped.

your GH squads, IMO, should all have melta guns.

the Wolf Guard should have combi-flamers.

you could also drop the Heavy Bolters from the one Long Fang squad for more long range fire support, and drop the Razorbacks so some of your Hunters can have rhinos.

good hunting.

if you make the grey hunter into 10's aswell you can take a flamer and a meltagun and they will on cost you 150, with the wolf standard and the mark of the wulfen.
i genraly run 2-3 grey hunter squads that have 10 hunters and on armed with a flamer and one armed with a meltagun, in my opinon i wouldnt use the standard or the mark on the grey hunters, if you droped the 3 wolf guard you might even be able to get a 4th grey hunter squad or a dread in, and with the long fangs i think you need more lascannons, instead of some of the rockets, and maybe spread the weapon around the long fangs cause you can split the fire and then you dont have the chance to lose one type of heavy weapon with 1 shot.

also as much as i dont like to say it but maybe drop ragnar and try a wolf priest or a rune priest or both

Thanks for all the feedback,. Personally I love ragnar- he adds so much to any assaulting army. even alone, he is a threat...

I have played a test run of this army, and against a similar army, and both have fared very well. I will take the plasma cannon Idea into mind, but heavy bolters are a cheap and easy way into anti troop- especially nice against the miriad of ork and guard players in my area. Also nice against marines.

List 2, a grimnarwing, coming soon!

You can always do a good ole powerslide with your rhino (move max and pop smoke so you can jump out next turn and shoot assault what not)

I'd always say rockets over HB for range and versatility. You have horde and armor punchability.

I'd say drop out some of the powerfists on your guard so you dont always hit last and can handle some infantry. I don't see them doing much though walking around. Unless you are going to throw them in a razorback but then *shrug*

And I hear wolf wing isn't any good.

Thanks for the powerslide idea- forgot about that.

On Grimnarwing, it works really well if done right.

Also, Powerfists are great for taking anything big- helpfull since otherwise SW take care of anything else.

HB might be taken out for rockets.
