Please let me know if i have any setups wrong ( squad setups all units are painted and assembled so id rather not pull arms off.....

Now I don't play Space Wolves so I'm not sure if my opinion is valid...

But to me it seems that the long fangs would be a far better choice to fill out your list. They also have the nice effect of encouraging the enemy to run toward you and assault you (allowing your Grey Hunters to counter-attack), whilst the dreadnought's killiness in combat discourages the opponent from doing so. This can be good or bad, depending on how you like to play!

Best of luck for your campaign!

yeah unfortunatly unless i read the codex wrong the longfangs cant be used as a troop option but only as a heavy option meanin i would need my two grey hunter squads to make the "1 hq, 2 troop" system valid

The only recommendation I will make is if your Wolf lord looks enough like a rune priest to use him as such, I would consider doing so. Rune priests are rude, in a good way

Oh? i thought they would have to have Runic armour, I shall look into that and have an attempt. Thank you very much

Right after having a look, i have converted my Wolf guard Battle Leader into the run priest it requires a few changes paint wise on the shoulder pads, and i may change his arm holding the power sword for an axe and convert it into a rune axe, as he already has a plasma pistol and a fur cloak (i made it out of green stuff) i will then have a HQ choice of a rune priest or Wolf lord both of whom cost the same in points xD.
