I agree with Jaon. However, I think it's safe to say that Grey Hunters are a lot better than Blood Claws in most lists, so I'd start with two boxes of Grey Hunters, and then an HQ of your fancy. Logan, Njal, or a rune priest are all decent.

Long fangs are slowed good for what they can do (pretty damn cheap too!). Since they aren't limited to single targeting like snooty devastators or crazy BA's and out-dated Havocs.

You aren't forced to pick single tasks for long fangs, you could have a 5 man squad, two las's, two missiles, and a plascannon/heavybolter as the fifth. You can use the las's to fry vehicles, use the missiles to either pop small vehicles or insta-gib mc's, and drop plasmatemplates at your own discord..

all for pretty much the same points.. Long fangs are the foot to the balls to opponents.

Same goes for wolf scouts.. crazy lil buggers.

and wulfen.. the guys get a slowed amount of attacks that rend.

and SW psychic abilities... ALL of them are disgustingly OP, (Jaws of the world wolf, pretty much a straight line vortex grenade that rapes even eternal warriors..... so god damned OP) Not to mention you've got wolf banners (yea they are one use.. but WHAT THE HELL)

Wolf priests can be kitted to make any unit they join go from CC monsters to "just take the models off the board" fighters.

Space puppies get FOUR HQ's.

Space puppies are space marines.. they fight better then chaos marines.. but are still loyalist.. and they have so much evil things.... but they still are loyalists..


anyway. get some Battle forces, then work on getting Longfangs for heavy support, and what ever else you need

Get the codex before you buy anything else. Flick through it. Build a list or two. Make sure Space Wolves are what you're looking for before you invest in 3000 points of SW-specific models.

You might find that BA's options for all-out CC assault suit you better.

Or you can always change your mind and be cool like us cool folks over here in Cooltown, and play Vanilla.

You did say you liked Salamanders?

No, not Vanilla. it's Mint Chip with Habanero sauce

By the Emperor, that sounds like the worst combination ever.

...how 'bout green chilis?

Seaward sounds way to cool to play regular space marines. As far as the space wolf flavor, it would be at least 50% alcohol by volume.

15 Blood Claws w/ PF and a Wolf Guard w/ PF in a LRC w/ MM and storm bolter will rip pretty much anything to shreds. They're my favorite unit.

ok so i managed to start picking up some stff here & there. so far I have these

x1 SM Battle Force box
x1 SM Commander box
x1 Scout Snipers box
x1 SW Terminator box
x2 Devistator squad box
x1 AoBR Dreadnought
x5 Thunderwolves

ok so based on what comes in the battle force & the rest can you guys help me out with my 1st list?

I will also purchase these next, but want to try & focus on what I have on-hand:

x1 Land Speeder
x1 Drop Pod
x1 Razorback
x1 Wolf Pack box

will I have enough troops or should I get another Wolf Pack box?

& as far as HQ goes I havnt decided what to get.

thanks guys for your help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok so I picked up these as well

x1 Land Speeder
x1 Drop Pod
x1 Razorback
x1 Wolf Pack box
x1 Assault Squad box (traded the Sniper Scouts in for these)
x1 SW accessory sprue
x2 SW shoulder pads
x1 AoBR Commander

now I also got some random bits:

x10 SW backpacks
x8 wolf claws (4 sets L&R handed)
x4 power fists

Do I have enough Claws/Fists? the backpacks will be used for the Tacticle Squad that came in the SM Battle Force along with some accessories from the wolf pack sprues that should make them look wolfy enough.

the SW accessorie sprue from GW has 5 alternate sculpt torso's wich Ill use for my Thunderwolf Cavalry.the rest of the sprue will be used to dress up the 2 commanders.

I am also converting 2 Rune priests & 2 standard bearers from left over WoC warrior models.

So hows it looking so far? btw the Fenris Wolf from heroclix makes a great wolf mount & for only $3.00 each you cant go wrong. plus the benifit of not having to splinter, warp or snap like the resin ones out there.

So a month later & I only got to play 2 games ;(
both ending in a Draw for (objectives)

my list:

x1 Rune Priest w/ L.Lightning/M.Hurricane, CotSlain -110pts
x10 G.Hunters w/ x2 Melta's, P.Fist, W.Standard, MoWulfen -205pts
x10 G.Hunters w/ x2 Melta's, P.Fist, W.Standard, MoWulfen -205pts
x5 Scouts w/ x2 P.Weapon, Meltagun, MoWulfen -130pts
x2 Razorbacks w/ H.Killer Missle -100pts
Total: 750pts

Should I give my Scouts 2 plasmas instead of power weapons?
