Ok so im looking to make a good all round army but i dont have a whole lot of variety model wise. This is a list of everything i have, i hope someone can help me:

Logan Grimnar

Lukus the Trickster (or my own version of)

Rune priest

9x Thunder wolves

12x fenrisian wolves

7x scouts

Longfangs x8
3x heavy bolters
2x plasma cannons
2x Lascannons
1 multi Melta

Assault squad x6

Terminators x12

Marines x60 (give or take a few)

Land Raider Redeemer

5x Rhinos

Whirlwind

Bikes
3x bikers

Dreadnought (i use it as my Bjorn model)

Ok so i know there is some pretty weird numbers in there but any help for a 1500 or a 2000 pt list would be appreciated. Im always getting destroyed so i didnt bother to write a list up and just came straight to the experts

Are you interested in avoiding cheese/a themed army/a specific style of army?

Dont have codex at hand but will try and whip someting up tonight.

PS there are a lot of Wolf lists on this forum, you can try searching for them and seeing what other people have done. You have a good model range to work with for starters.

I dont really mind about that i would just like an army that was good all round, one that could fight everything and have a reasonable chance to win I dont win alot of games and when i start playing with space wolves i hope to change that haha

You have almost everything necessary to run the 1,700 point list that won the Dutch GT. Here's close approximation of the list:

Wolf Lord (Thunderwolf, Wolf Claw, Storm Shield, Wolf Tooth Necklace, Meltabombs, Saga of the Bear, 2x Fenrisian Wolves) - 265
Wolf Lord (Thunderwolf, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Saga of Majesty, 2x Fenrisian Wolves) - 235
Rune Priest (Chooser of the Slain, Living Lightning, Tempest's Wrath) - 110
Rune Priest (Chooser of the Slain, Bolter, Living Lightning, Murderous Hurricane) - 110
9 Grey Hunters (Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino) - 185
9 Grey Hunters (Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino) - 185
2 Thunderwolves (Thunder Hammer, 2x Storm Shields) - 190
2 Thunderwolves (Thunder Hammer, 2x Storm Shields) - 190
5 Long Fangs (4 Missile Launchers) - 115
5 Long Fangs (4 Missile Launchers) - 115
Total 1,700

That list is bestial, and you have basically all of the necessary models. You might need to swap some weapons here and there, but that's not a big deal. Of course learning to play it effectively will take time, but having the figures at your disposal is half the battle.

Regardless, I would suggest something similar to that at 1,500 or 2,000 points, perhaps ditching the Wolf Lords at lower points for more Thunderwolves and Razorbacks for your Long Fangs, and at higher points adding in those transports and perhaps another scoring unit or two, and Wolf Guard pack leaders for your Grey Hunters. You could also do a single large pack of Thunderwolves with 1-2 Wolf Lords and a little less equipment in the pack.

I think you should pick up some Razorbacks, or at least the turrets to make Rhinos into Razorbacks which can be bought from TheWarStore.com for about half the cost of the whole kit. Razorbacks are an important part of Space Wolves strategy in 5th edition, though I don't suggest using them to the exclusion of large packs of Grey Hunters.

Hope that helps!

All the space wolf armies i see seem to like missile launchers, are they really efective in space wolves or something?

Thanks for your help Aldarionn, looks like a pretty sound list i do have the parts to make razorbacks and i will give the list a try out next time i have a game.

space wolf long fangs have the ability to split fire with the sarge, so therefore having 3 krak missiles on a rhino and 2 frag missiles on some troops roughing it around the board can get hurt really fast, and frag missiles hurt mostly any troop, and some elites, like terminators, ive seen many die to 4 frag templates being dropped on them and losing about 4-5 in one round because of the sheer number of wounds. so yeh taking missiles is probably the best only because of they are cheaper, they have multiple firing modes and are just too nice to have..

Ohk well i did not know that, you learn something new everyday thanks for all your help

Space wolves Long Fangs (/or devatators) can have ML for only 10 points and this is a super cheaper price for them.

Besides, if you consider that until the pack leader is alive they'll can split the fire vs 2 different targets this give you another very good bonus.

And again, at a very cheaper price in comparison with other sm chapters/codexes.
