So the theory behind this one is that the Grey Hunters and the Rune Priest chill in the Land Raider while casting Storm Caller. Keep one model of all the Fenrisian Wolf squads within 6" of the Raider to give them all 5+ cover, giving the Raider chances to fire all its weapons at stuff as it drives up the battlefield. Meanwhile the Thunderwolves with Canis go on a killing spree into the enemy lines where they are most needed. Kind of a one trick pony, but even if that doesn't work, i've got 72 wolves to play with. All I need to do is hold 1 objective with the Hunters and contest with all my other squads. I don't know, thought it would be a cool idea.

I think you need half a squad to be behing the LR for the cover save. And the LR isnt worth th points. 4 SS on one TWC is a points sink. Suggestions:
Drop the LR, a GH, 2 SS off the squad, and one TW.
Add: Thunderlord, another squad of TWC, maybe long fangs or something....? I dont know, but i know one rhino wouldnt be worth anything in this list, itd get eaten.

thats what stormcaller is for, 5+ cover for all units within 6"

I honestly think I'd need to see this in action, the big footprint of the wolves negates blast weapons as a quick way of getting rid of them but just one landraider means if someone suicides on its face your kinda boned =/
Proxy it and get some batreps I'm interested in where this could go.
