I'd say keep the one HQ, and grab another long fang squad. Aside from that, I might change the list some, but I'll leave that to people a little more experienced with SW than I. However, if I have anything to say, I would recommend another thing of longfangs.

And besides, lots of models are cool ^ ^

Wish I could offer more advice, but I'm really not as familiar with SW as I could be. My advice, as a Dakka-poster, is check the forums for 1500 point armies, and look at what they field/what they avoid.
But I can say longfangs are usually a good idea. And I personally don't think you need 2HQ under 2000, but some people disagree with me.

No pro, but I'll give my 2 Cents:

You've got a pretty well rounded setup here, the only thing I wish you had was MoTW in your GH squads. You've got a good model number at the moment, so the Mark is optional really, but otherwise, at 1k pts, that's a good list.

Up to 1500?

I would add more GH's (maybe leave space for MotW? If you want, your army, your preferences). Gonna need more WG for your GH squads, so that means more PF/combi-meltas...

Try dabbling (if you've the space after your core units) with maybe some more shooty guys (shooty dread? More LF's?) or some fast attack (TWC?).

A good hammer could also be a squad of Termie WG in a landraider, but that's WAY expensive (I think that would be the only addition if that's the way you chose).

Also investigate a Lone Wolf (if you like them). My personal combo would be Termie armor/ Chainfist/ Storm Shield, with 2 Fenrisian wolves for more survivability.

Like I said, take my advice with some salt, because I'm no pro either. There's some very good dakkaties on here that can do far more.

May I suggest you investigate these:

If you're not familiar, get familiar. You'll appreciate what they have to offer.

Good luck.

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

A good "shove down their throat" unit is a TWC squad with a couple storm shields and a T-hammer. Scouts can be awesome as rear armor assassins with meltaguns and powerfists, don't forget a wolf guard for the squad, extra toys is never a bad idea. Long Fangs with missile launchers are of course awesome. Rune Priests are never a bad idea for another HQ choice, I usually have one in every list from 750 down and at least two at 1000 pts and up.

Also don't count out a good Wolf Lord, they can hit like a truck and are nigh unstoppable in close combat, especially T-wolf Lords when they run with Cavalry squads. Expensive yes, but when they get close

Just my thoughts.
