Dozer Blades are there so I can push forward with Rhinos to block psychic powers and get in Melta range fast.

Looks solid to me. I have run a near similar list and the only army that gives me trouble are Grey Knights. Purifier heavy GK in Rhinos and Stormravens are absolute killers. In the games I won against them I shot down the Stormravens T1 and had to be careful to take apart one Purifier unit at a time.

In short, be careful against GK Purifier lists with Mech heavy SW lists.

Yeah, I've been the victim of Purifier Spam a couple of times now and that's partly why I have Njal and another Rune Priest. The increased coverage of denying successful psychic tests not only on the Purifiers but on the Grey Knight Vehicles is a must now. I think I have a decent amount of firepower to go toe to toe with them and the 2 larger Grey Hunter squads can get mixed in if necessary to buy time/ take an objective the hard way.

In all honesty I have to say the heroes of this list so far have been the Wolf Scouts. With them, they push forward and bring my opponent closer to me which is necessary for having shoot outs with more proficient gunlines.

I would prefer the first list, but that is because I like larger GH squads and more troops than 3 in a 2k list. Also, I have found the Thunderlords benefit much more from TWC escorts than Fenrisian wolves but YMMV.

1st list is better.
Hard to lose with a space puppy list like that.

My reasoning for using the Fenrisians over Thunderwolves is two fold:

1) I can take almost 3 times as many so there are that many more ablative wounds.

2) They make garnering cover saves significantly easier due to the size of the model.

3) I'm not gonna be out upwards of 100 points if a demolished cannon lands on target and I fail 2 Storm Shield saves.

I've traditionally gone with a list like 2 because of the heavier firepower and the ability to send a tough nut of death.at my opponent.

in the first list. I assume the Wolf Guard go in the 3 larger squads?

And what of armour 14 with termies in it? what will you do then?
Rockets arent really reliable, and all you have is 6 lascannons?

In the first list the Wolf Guard go with the Scouts and the Rhino Grey Hunters.

The point on Land Raiders and Termies is valid but let's not forget Chaos' favorite troop choice: Plague Marines.

I ended up taking list 2 on a whim and lucked out as my 3 matches would have ruined list 1 in my opinion. I ended up facing Mechdar with a Seer Council in Round 1, Battle Wagon Orks for round 2 and Death Guard Chaos for Round 3. The Death Guard player had 35 Plague Marines and 6 Obliterators that would have laughed at list one. Mechdar would have shutdown Jiao and the Rune Priest and we all know what Battle Wagon Orks are like.
