Ok so with your 40 points put a chooser of the slain on your rune priest as it ups his shooting power and makes his psycic powers work better. This is a manditory equipment choice.
I'd drop the storm bolter as the psycic shooting attacks are worth using, either living lightening for the number of shots or jaws of the world wolf to snipe, you won't use it unless you are only taking support powers but the space wolf support powers are a bit poor in comparison to their shooting. The only exception would be taking a combi weapon(pref melta) for dealing damage at close range if needed.

You need to put some special weapons in those grey hunters, so 4 melta weapons for ten points. This ups your anti armour and anti terminator power. Plasma is another choice but I would put off on them until the next edition comes out (lots of predictions going around about plasma getting promoted while melta gets nurfed).

Actually what is in your grey hunters 20 men at 15 points is 300 not 200, on your venerable dread and wolf guard, that would make it easier to advise on what you are going for.

I would suggest wolf guard would be as large a squad as possible up to 9 men, 1 melta gun, 1 wolf guard with power fist and combi-melta, mark of the wolfen, wolf standard and rhino.
1 squad should be 8 man with all of the above and a rhino to move with the rune priest providing mobile psycic support. You coud if the points fit have a 5 man squad with the 3rd wolf guard to just sit on objectives in your area.

I would drop the landraider and move to long fangs. For 280 points you can have 2 squads of 6 with 5 missile launchers. Long fangs are king, they can kill large numbers of swarm units and can take chunks out of space marines. If you are worried about armour like LR or something else stick a lazcannon on the dread.

Grey Hunters max squad size is ten.

You need transports.

A landraider not carrying anything scary is an overpriced gun platform. Get long fangs instead.

With a landraider and dreadnoughr as your only armor they're going to get popped early.

Read your codex.

That is the worst advice I have seen on this site. People asking for advice or help don't want clipped sentences and abuse, yes he needs to lay out the list better and make clear what he is spending his points on but there is a way of saying things.

Definitely not the worst advice ever. That's more like "You're an idiot and you suck. Do it this way." Which I've seen on this site more than once and did not do.

I reiterated some of the things from the thread he linked this from as simply as possible.

The most important advice I gave was to read the codex which he said he hasn't done. Kind of hard tomake a list when you dontknow what you can put in it.

900 pts is an odd number

I didn't see the other thread and while you are right that he has to read the codex, taken in the context of this thread I still think there are better ways of putting things.

You're probably right.
