@razerous, ugh, read the most recent list I posted lol, two posts above yours

@Unholy_martyr, thanks man, yea I think ill try both options out, the long fangs seem like a decent choice, plus they're not suseptible to one lucky shot nuking my tank on turn 1 lol

Then I would advise you to edit the original list for the sake of getting accurate feedback.

Edit: Your still wasting points on mech. I'm just saying you can field better wolfie units than the preds.

Are you set on how you use the TWC?

Personally I would go with something like:

(175) Wolf Lord, Thunderwolf Mount, Frost Blade, Meltabombs

(255) 5 Thunderwolf Cavalry, one with melta bombs.

(200) 4 Thunderwolf Cavalry

(190) 10 Grey Hunters in a Rhino with 2x Meltaguns

(190) 10 Grey Hunters in a Rhino with 2x Meltaguns

(190) 10 Grey Hunters in a Rhino with 2x Meltaguns

(120) 5 Grey Hunters in a Razorback with 1x Meltagun

(180) 6 Long Fangs with 5 Missile Launchers and a Razorback.

------
TOTAL: 1500

Put the lord with the smaller TWC pack, use the LF Razorback just as a standalone tank for cover/tankshock/anti-infantry fire.
You get 4 scoring units this way too, while still keeping 10 TWC models in the army.

I'm not a huge fan of putting so many points in so few models, and I rue the day a demolisher blast lands on my TWC and sends them straight to doggie heaven, but if I had to field 10 of them, this is probably how I would do it, with 5 tanks for cover and 4 scoring units. I was working on a similar list for 1850, and I ended up cutting down to only 1 squad of Thunderwolves.

I think you can go overkill and put too many TWC in one squad yet not make use of their great utility to combine massed str5 rending with a few str10 power attacks. This list has gone through a lot of critiquing and redesign.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/271188.page but yeah, assuming 3x 5man razorback squad arent insufficient troops, its pretty potent.

thanks for the link razerous, and thanks for the input takeabow.

Still weighing the long fang option out, thinking preds might attrack to much AT fire....buuuut if i get rid of them ALL AT will be on the razorbacks, which defeats the purpose of them lol. Considering going all foot....eek foot in 5th? well see.....

Idea with more troops, and long fangs instead of preds. Reasoning: im a little hesitant on the preds, I realize its AV13, but one lucky pot shot on turn 1 makes it a sad panda and that basically cant happen with long fangs given cover saves, etc. It puts out the exact same amount of shooting for 5 points less, so no point increase/decrease really. Im playing out the full squads, just because I am weary of leaving everything up to my TWC lol. Im not huge on "all your eggs in one basket" armies, and while Im 100% running the TWC, I still want the rest of the army to be a threat.

I can get the preds in easily, drop the meltas from 2 squads, boom, 10 points for the preds. I did lose the iron priest, which, im weary on anyways. Hes 165 points, 1 wound, and puts out 4 S8/10 attacks. Yes he has 4 wolves to soak up wounds/dish out attacks.....but the price tag is steep. I think Ill have to play test him to determine his wearthyness or not.

Anyway, new idea:

Wolf Lord: thunderwolf mount, wolf claw, storm shield-195

10 Grey hunters: 2 x melta, MOTW 170
-Rhino
10 Grey hunters: 2 x melta, MOTW 170
-Rhino
10 Grey hunters: 2 x melta, MOTW 170
-Rhino

4 Thunderwolf cavalry: powerfist, melta bomb, bolter-230
4 Thunderwolf cavalry: powerfist, melta bomb, bolter-230

5 long fangs: squad leader, 4 ML-115
5 long fangs: squad leader, 4 ML-115

1500

Out of all the lists and ideas presented, I like this one. I think you should drop the cyber wolves and add storm shields to the tcav.

I'd say keep the Ironpriest + cybre wolves (he has a pretty silly amount of str8-10 attacks plus the cyber wolves swings) and drop a predator instead.

I'd go on to say that a rhino with two plasma-cannon long-fangs in place of the second predator and then swapping all those half & half Lascannon + TLplasma guns for TL-lascannons.
