Normal Plan
Sit back for two turns taking out enemy transports and tanks ect. Then send my terminators forward in the land raider smashing in to enemy objectives. The Land Speeder normally stays in reserve to contest an object or provide long range fire support.

Wolf Priest plus wolf claws means i get reroll wounds and hits. Normally does well at taken out other terminators with power first thunder hammer ect...

That's a good list with a suitably good (and simple) battle plan.

My only, albeit very slight, qualms are that all Land-Raiders should pretty much always have extra armour. ALWAYS!

Also, the runic armour isn't really needed on the Priest and Wolf Tail Talisman definitely isn't needed. Terminator armour or neither could do it just as well. Infact, you may find for your needs that a Rune Priest (or two!) would work better as they can sit back and zap the enemy with their unlimited range living lightning before the enemy closes the distance.

Also, you may want for more armour than 2 land raiders and 2 razorbacks, you could find swapping the typhoon and long fangs for 2 autocannon/las-sponson predators could work better.

This is where my only real suggestion comes in; drop the Land Speeder. I can see your reason for including it, I really can, but it doesn't really add anything to the list and the points could be better spent elsewhere. For example, you could drop the Land Speeder and have enough points for:
- A Rune Priest, reasons outlined about
- A CML Wolf Guard for the fangs, equal firepower to the land speeder but helps protect the long fangs and KP's
- Extra Armour for the Land Raiders, you want your 500pts to be able to move and shoot.
- Another Razorback for extra firepower, transportation and armour saturation.
- Wolf Standards/MotW to help with counter assault when the enemy reaches you.
- Smaller Long Fang Squad - Extra firepower =

You could even make a mix of the above suggestions but I really would advise dropping the Land Speeder. Otherwise it's a good list.
Hope I could help, Dave.

Thank you for the advice.

I think I will keep the long fang as all honesty out of the games I have done they have done amazing. 5 strength 8 shots or 5 small templates has worked very well.
Also the reason I has runic armour not terminator amour is because they cost the same and I already have a 4+ invaluable. The only difference if I have terminated amour I will lose 1 attack. The reroll wounds and hits with my terminator has worked brilliantly so i think he will stay with them.

However i do think i will drop land speeder for rune priest. I think the abitaly to stop those cyci attacks will work well. Also the more fire power

Out of curiosity how have you faired against very shooty armies like IG? i only wonder because I generally hate to just hang back for two turns against shooty armies like tau and IG because i end up spending the game trying to walk across the board just watching everything get shot sky high.

. All honesty I have only played IG once manly because there is not allot of IG players at our club. In fact we have loads of all other army’s just not IG lol. The first game was spear head 1 objective each.

And I just charged my 2 land raiders in two his objective and the terminators backed up with the grey hunters wiped out most of his troops and the two land raiders combined managed to contest his objective. While the long fangs and razor backs captured my objective.

Well i guess for your meta it works then. For me my meta has been heavy IG, with a fair bit of tau too, (I have no idea where they all came from.) So I have found a sit back and wait strategy difficult, but if it works then i say stick with it.

I would swap out LR with a crusader but its just my preference

Yeah I did consider that however I just really like the LR lol and it seems to fit in well with my play style

Yeah, a crusader would be a poor choice IMHO. two would work, but 2 godhammer Land Raiders are better for sitting back and shooting/synergy as the OP has noted.

But yeah, I didn't actually suggest you drop the long fangs, they're usually (ALWAYS!!) a very good uni, no doubt.
However, I agree with the choice of a Rune Priest, a good choice however you'd need to drop something (Wolf Priest upgrades? ) to afford it.
