Having talked to some people this is my attempt for a decent 1000pt list.

The idea is that two grey hunter squads will rush the board in the razorbacks while the third waits to rush objectives later in the game.
The longfangs shoot everything and with the razorbacks provide anti-armour and anti-character support.
The wolf lord is to survive into combat with big hitters and take them out.
What do you think?

Wolf lord
thunderwolf mount, saga of the bear,
thunderhammer & storm sheild,
wolftail talisman, wolftooth necklace,
2 fenrisian wolves -255


5 Grey hunters
power weapon, wolf banner, melta gun
razorback with twin-linked laz -180

5 Grey hunters
power fist, wolf banner, melta gun
razorback with twin-linked laz -190

5 Grey hunters
power weapon, melta gun - 95

2 squads of 6 long fangs with 5 missile launchers - 280

Looks solid but. May I suggest downgrading from a thunderhammer to a frost blade on your Lord? It's S5 and your still striking at I6. Which is one of the highest we got in the army.

I'd keep the TH on your Lord of course, since then he'd just slaughter things with S10

Only thing really is to remove the power weapons from your units and of course the PF as well. 25 points for 2 hits on the charge/counter-charge? not worth it. I prefer motw, since they give you plenty more attacks somewhat cheap, 15 points for a possible 8 rending attacks, yes please

Also im not sure Standard is really needed for those small units. I'd rather spend more points getting the body count up a bit and getting a 3rd transport.

Might as well run Canis as an HQ instead, tho imho the thunderwolves are booty without a cavalry squad of them. If not Canis just foot the fool with some grey hunters.

There's always Ragnar...

I would like a rune priest and a razorback instead of your HQ.
However I like your list.

maybe drop the TL-Laz from one of the Razorbacks and buy a Rhino for the other squad or shuffle some more points around and make it a vanilla Razorback. I dont think you really need the lascannons considering you have 10 MLs

In actuality, if you dropped all of the Squad upgrades and took out the 3rd Grey Hunters, you could afford 2 thunderwolves with 1 thunder hammer and 1 storm shield. If you do this, I would recommend a wolf claw or frost blade on the lord to capitalize on his higher initiative.

Hmm,
not sure about more thunderwolves, don't have the models for it.

Canis isn't all that tbh, I want the wolf lord for taking out things like ork dreadnaughts and killa cans.

Tjolle79 I can drop the upgrades and go with:

2x squads of 6 grey hunters with meltagun and motw, both mounted in razorbacks with heavy bolters.

1x squad of 7 greyhunters with a meltagun.


Would it not be best to have 3 troop choices for trying to control objectives?

I would go with 3 troop choices as well, but i would put them all in transports somehow

I'd put them like so:

7 GH, Meltagun, Motw, Rhino - 160
5 GH, Meltagun, Razor - TL Lascannon - 155
5 GH, Meltagun, Razor - TL Lascannon - 155

Since you'll be moving around alot id advice against Las/Plas but they are always a valid choice and comes down to taste

With your Original List all you need to do is remove the Wolf tail talisman from your Wolf Lord and you will hit 1000pts exactly.

So had a game tonight against a space marine army which my friend is going to be buffing out. The razorbacks preformed very well and crippled 2 razors and a predator. The wolf lord took a huge amount of fire and survived to kill lots of marines thanks to the 3++ and the 2 killable wolves.

The only things I wanted to change was my wolf lord, at 1000pts there is not going to be a lot of things that will be hitting with S10 so I am dropping saga of the bear for the beastslayer, it makes him better at killing monsters and killa-cans.
The other thing was to switch out the melta on the 3rd squad for the plasma gun, it means more long range shots with good stats. I could do the 3 transports but I will be using the 3rd squad to defend objectives and the long fangs.

Here is the list.
