I've been playing around with 1000 points of wolves for the last while and am interested in jumping them up to tournament size.
Anything marked in bold I currently own.
What I am looking is for people's ideas on this list my worry is that it is trying to be a bit of an everyman list and not strong enough on either fire support, objective holding or combat.
Total points is 1749

Nobody has anything to add? Nothing at all?

It looks fairly solid, I run a 2k list with a very similar T. Wolf Lord/T. Wolf Cav deathstar, the same amount of long fangs, and one of the larger squads of GH with an attached RP.

Your second Rune Priest is technically illegal, due to the "Leaders of the Pack" rule, which states that no two HQ choices can have the same wargear AND psychic powers. You would need to either drop the second Chooser of the Slain or add something else.

I only run one RP and one GH squad in a Rhino, and run 4 MSU GH units in Razorbacks. I also run 2 Land Speeders with MM/HF, which are amazingly useful. You also might want to consider another storm shield in your T. Wolf Cav unit, just to give them a little more staying power. I've found that they are just as useful as a unit that is exceedingly hard to kill as well as one that dishes out a ton of wounds.

Your Lord is also a bit on the expensive side, you could stand to trim a few points off there as well. I run mine with only a mount, shield, frost axe, and saga of the bear.

In my 1000pt list I run the razorback game, I just find the small units give me less flexibility and die too easily in my metagame to make full use of them.

The lord is a bit pricey and has a mistake taking the wolf tail. That being said I think I may just drop the 20 points and take beastslayer on him as from my experiences I think the 3+ to hit in combat is a great help and a 2+ save just keeps him in the game longer. Comes in handy with an 8 man beserker squad, weight of numbers is king in combat.

I have a few points and can either stick melta bombs or another combi melta on the rune priest to make him different. Worst case give him a bolter since priests are not combat monsters.

Don't take this the wrong way but after my experiences in late 3rd ed with land speeders it will be a cold day in hell when those models show up in my army. I hate the model cos of the flying stands and their ability to snap.

After some time and thought about it I will be running the following list the thunderwolves are a lot smaller but I can now deal with av14 and the like. The troops and long fangs are solid and can do what they need and the thunderwolves can stay out of line of sight behind the tanks and terrain and then kill something interesting.
