I'm trying to fill out my 2000 point army and I have 248 points to spend, at the moment I'm torn between using Njal Stormcaller, a pack of Skyclaws with Power Fist, Mark of the Wulfen and a Meltagun or 4 TWC. My existing list is a mechanized list, every squad having a razorback or land raider to ride in and a pair of Predators.

I have 1 HQ, 1 Troops, 2 Elites and all 3 Fast Attack choices free.

I would Say Njal if you had room for him in the Land raider; but as your army seems comprised of Closed top, no fire point transports, and he should not be foot slogging on his own; you will be wasting his special ability until he can get out(and you Pay quite a few points for that ability).

Without an IC to go along with the Skyclaws; their headstrong rule means that they will never be able to Fire that Melta to full effect(within 6" means no Firing) While the other 2 Choices here are good, special weapons are worthless on Skyclaws(without a Wolfpriest with a jump pack attached)

So I guess it would be the 4 TWC and then throw some extra kit on some other units for the remaining 48 points.

Barring that I might take another 5 grey hunters in a T-L AC Razorback, and If you have Wolf guard already add another WG with Thunder hammer and Storm bolter

I'd also vote for TWC. They're a great unit, and with all the vehicles you should have no trouble running a screen for them.

I cant even describe to you how aggravating it is, as a bike player, to be getting run down by guys who hit as hard as thunderwolves do. they're mobile, tough, hit like a ton of bricks, and are reasonably priced. pretty much all around awesome. Njal is cool too. skyclaws are a definite no.

Thunderwolves. Use the extra 48 to points to throw in a cthree Wolf Claws at 45 points so they can reroll hits or wounds and have a better chance of Rending.
