The strategy here is that the wolves will run up and pre occupy my opponents most dangerous force and maybe dwindle them down enough for my long fangs or razorbacks to pump enough lead into them to kill them while running away or moving up.

I don't think you have enough long range tank busting dakka. I would swap out the Heavy Bolter Long Fangs for 3 teams of 5 Long Fangs with 4 Missile Launchers. Four frag missiles is pretty decent at thinning out light infantry.

I think that 4 Las and TL plasma guns are a good amount of Anti tank

While the Lascannons are good AV weapons, the Plasma guns are more heavy infantry and light vehicles, they only glance AV13 and do nothing to AV14.

But I am curious as to why you gave the Long Fangs all Heavy Bolters? Not even 1 or 2 Missiles Launchers? I mean with Split Fire, you can shoot missiles at anything, they can actually glance AV14 as well as pop transports and wreck infantry both light and heavy. While your heavy bolters blow away incoming infantry. If you dropped Mark of the Wulfen from each of the Grey Hunters and gave them Wolf Standards instead, that would give you the points needed to add a missile launcher to each of the LF squads.

Just a thought.

Replace your heavy bolters for missiles and you have an interesting list.

If you replaced heavy bolters, wolf lord for a rune priest, wolves for razorbacks then you have a something resembling a common list. It is common for a reason.

Why heavy bolters? It is a strange one to decide upon. Heavy bolter razorbacks I can understand why people will be drawn to the default weapon which comes with the box.

You're talking about replacing the Fenrisian Wolves for Razorbacks for the Long Fangs right? Just asking for clarity, since it read like you were just swapping them without buying them for a unit.

Yes, but that isn't an interesting direction :(
There a few benefits having transportation for long fangs, but not strong enough ones to argue about.

Are 3 units of wolves the best way to use those points, I see the tactic but in a kill points game you have just given 3 away?

I have tried heavy bolters on devestators in the past and been dissapointed, when I switched to missiles the extra range and the flexibility gave me a massive jump in the kills they were generating each turn.
