I thought the 13th Company didn't use tanks? I could be wrong, but i'm sure thats what i've heard, in which case this isn't a 13th company list...

TH/SS Wolf Guard, are far to expensive to be worthwhile, if you really want TH/SS termies, might as well go standard Marines, ok their not troops but isn't it something like 315 points for those 5 guys? Plus 260 points for your Land Raider, presumably with Logan and Rune Priest riding along, thats a very very expensive squad and it just doesn't have enough killing/staying power for its points. They are going to smash a lot of things apart, but their are counters, and I think those counters are going to be good enough to stop you before you do much damage more often than not.

Our codex dose not really give much benefit to running hammernators, other than they become troops with Grimnar on board. Plus we miss out out on an Apothecary. And lets face it, a Wolf Priest is super cool but not very good sans FnP.

I too was under the impression that the 13th company would not be mechanized, but I am not a master fluffer...wait, can I say that here??!!

The thing with LoganWing is that you end up sinking a lot of points into a pack that still consists of single wound models. The Power armor WG are good, but why not just run GH in their place for less points and the same basic upgrades. I have been playing an all TDA Logan Wing for a couple of years now, and it is a hard army to pilot due to the cost of your packs and the always present low model count. In your case you have sunk a HUGE chunk of your points into a death star with very little targets priority for your opponent. I would shoot at your LR every time, all day long (except that I'm a Wolf too, so I wouldn't do that to you brother!! ). If there was more priority packs or vehicles to choose from, you would run less of a chance of that one being blown up and then footslogging you TDAWG across the board, only to get them shot all to hell.

End of Line

I totally agree with rodgers37 and I quote him completely.

I just add than having 5 tanks on the field at 2000 pts is a very effective suicide tactic.

Without talking about BA, Necrons, IG, GK and all the top tier armys even in a mirror match vs a classic SW gunline, that will equally made use of pricy HQ characters like Bjorn IE, your 4 Razorbacks will explode between the 1st and the 2nd turn. The Land Raider wouldn't stand longer too.

There is some Logan wing build that could be considered viable, tricky and of course not really competitive but at least viable.

Your list, this way, just can't stand the average shooting power diffused on almost all the codexes nowadays.

Even Tyranids will outshot you in the first turn and then munch your troops quite easily.

Thank you for the input,

The reason I used the wolf guard is because they are the veterans much like the survivors of the 13th company, they reason they are mechanized is because the 13th company was even though the 13th company wasn't they were still swift and fast, but since I can't give the entire army scout, I gave them razorbacks. I choose Logan grimnar so all the WG squads are troop choices, making me more useful and able to hold objectives.

I agree with putting too many pts in my "death squad" but I thought they would be able to soak up a good amount of damage, I've use that unit before, and they have survived a full infantry platoon of guardsmen lasgun fire, from multiple games. I have also thought about dropping the long fangs razorbacks to get another squad of WG, but I've been told I should not let my long fangs be left behind.

The Scout argument doesn't make sense. 13th Company had Bikes, rest were on foot. Lots of Wulfen and Rune Priests. That's about it.

One of the best "counts as" I've seen for them was a Drop Pod army that had these "warp portals" that were the size of the Drop Pod is. The guy just made a Drop Pod list but it looked like they were spilling out through a warp gate opened by a Rune Priest. Was pretty sweet.

This isn't that impressive. So have my regular Grey Hunters. 4's to hit mean half the Lasgun shots miss. 5's to wound mean less than half of those actually wound. 3+ save means more than half of that is negated.

Statistically, if a full 5 squads combined, and all were in Rapid Fire range, you'd have 11 casualties with a 3+ save before FRFSRF (a whole squad). In reality, they won't have that many Guardsmen alive by the time you get there and not all of them will be in Rapid Fire range unless you are feeding your opponent. The number of casualties starts to go down drastically once everything besides pure numbers is factored in.

They mean you might want a unit hanging back to guard the Long Fangs. Otherwise they could get silenced by Infiltrators, Outflankers, and other similar units.
