Fast Attack.
Landspeeder, Multimelta and Flamer in reserves or (deepstrike) (70)

=1717 points. (i think)

and tactics wise for the army is the wolf gaurd squad willl be split into the two rhino grey hunter groups so 2 in each along with a rune priest each bringing the squad to 8 units.
The other two squads in the razorbacks will be support and objective holders.
Long fangs will be up in cover laying havoc to the world.
Scouts will die in the first or second turn most likely so they are going to try and blow a vechile up before that happens.
The dreadnought will be dropped behind enemy lines at the start to distract and have a crack at killing some of the opposing side.
And not too sure what to be doing with the landspeeder.
Anysuggestions for 2000 points or changes (involving the land speeder or anything) would be appreciated and thought on. Thanks!

The easiest addition that still fits in your FOC would be Thunderwolf Cavalry and a Thunderwolf Wolf Lord. CC monsters, and properly kitted, they are practically impossible to kill.

ok so whats the easiest thing to do in making Thunderwolf cavalry, im not very good at conversions and can anything replace them?
also is my lsit and plan pretty solid? Thanks!

Mr Dandy makes great thunderwolf models, most people use them. Mythicast makes pretty good ones too but they ship from the Phillipines >.>

Orky, you've made a mistake with your HQs in both lists. They can't have the same wargear, sagas or psychic powers. Trim 5 points somewhere and give one of them a set of meltabombs. Also, you've miscalculated the points costs--as you've got them now, they both cost 110 points.

Boring!!! Pretty much exactly the same as every other sw list

oK THANKS for pointing out the error of the wargear but as for the physic powers. No number of Rune Priests may share the exact same TWO psychic powers. For example, a Rune Priest may choose to take Living Lightning and Thunderclap. A second Rune Priest may then choose to take Living Lighting and Jaws of the World Wolf, as he will not have the same two psychic powers as the first Rune Priest. Note that the restriction on weapons and wargear still applies, so you have to have each Rune Priest with a unique wargear selection. another thing you could use it as is. If RunePriest1 has powers A and B and RunePriest2 has powers A and C, they have the same psychic power (A), but they do not have the same psychic powers, because (A, B) is not the same as (A, C). This setup would not violate the rule. Because in the codex it states they cannot have the same POWERS not power. but i will change the wargear.

Well i dont really care about that as at my club there is no space wolf players so it will be kinda unique there, also the reason there are so many of them spread about is because they work. Thanks for the comment though...

Also i changed the wargear so i took away the melta from one grey hunters squad put on a flamer and then put meltabombs on one rune priest, yes i know flamers suck but they are free and i needed 5 points elsewhere.

i would drop the rune priest and add logan. drop th power fist and take frost blades or thunder hammer storm shields. drop a few missle launchers and put in lascannon

Emperor can you do up a couple of squads of Thunderwolf Cavelry as guide for me please? I dont know what properly kitted is.

Shu these are the models that changed my mind from breaking up the Space Wolves models my mate gave me for another chapter to playing them!!! They are awesome.

Thanks guys this thread has helped me work out an army list.

Problem with a lot of these lists is theyre becoming carbon copies and people know how to deal with them.. theres nothing new to make the opponent guess.. One deep striking dread with a flamer and POOF there goes the LF. One lash and Oblit plasma POOF.. Idk seems a good IG list will grease this soft list.

this also an old list ill chuck in an updated one later.

I tend to add in a few th cav or something to draw attention away from the long fangs. It really depends since I have about 6 lists worth of sw and the shops I play change with each new codex. The thing about copying lists you see online is that they may be good lists for that player and his local scene but it may not work for you and your shop.

yea the guy who gave me the basics of this list is at my store and works well, we have a IG, Eldar, Dark eldar, orks, chaos i think maybe spacemarines aswell players. So i think these guys should do ok. I didnt get the list online like i said i got given the basics by someone at my store and then i altered it to my liking.

Give them all storm shields, one mark of the wulfen, one a power fist, and one melta bombs, for a squad of four with full wound allocation. Drop the melta bomb guy if you are only using 3. I think it's 355 points for four, and 270 for three.

The wolf lord can be made up lots of ways. Just make sure to give him the Thunderwolf and a storm shield. I'd probably give him a wulfen mark and the extra attacks saga, and go nuts on extra attacks.
