Trying to optimise this list. It's pretty solid. I'm out of ideas trying to improve it so I thought I'd cast it out there. It's straight from the adepticon winners list AFAIK

njal stormcaller - 245

5 scouts + meltagun - 85

5 wolf guard + fist/combimelta), 2x meltabombs - 225

2x8 grey hunters + meltagun, standard, rhino - 340

2x7 grey hunters + meltagun, standard, rhino - 310

2x5 grey hunters + flamer, las/plas razorback - 300

3x5 long fangs + 4 missile launchers- 345

Total - 1850

I did think briefly about swapping out a long fang pack and both razorback squads in lieu of a thunderwolf unit, or building that further by swapping out Njal for a thunderwolf HQ. Problem there is that boom goes a couple of antitank shots. Granted, they are RB so paperweight.

Another option was to ditch the scouts for Las/ML longfangs, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Also considered dropping the RB Squads in favour of 2 rifleman dreads, but that means losing the ony 2 S9 weapons with any range.

IMO there really is no optimizing that list, most standard space wolves lists run rune priests instead of njal, i actually prefer to run njal. Thats not the point though. If anything you could drop njal and take 2 run priests and have 45 points left over to do whatever you please with, but thats the only thing that i can see doing to that list

P.S. thats the list that won adepticon (you probably know that)

Yeah.

Working with a possible client and trying to finalise a list he can play that isn't going to get boring. Quickly gave up on thunderwolf cav. While they may be awesome fun, it's a lot of eggs in one basket.

if the client wants a "fun" list take a wolf wing list or something, or you can go with drop wolves, or razor wolves.
