Just goofing around with the idea of an all infantry
SW army. The theme maxing out number of effective bodies:
HQ
Rune Priest
Troops:
10 Gray Hunters
flamer (free)
melta (free as 2nd weapon upgrade)

This brings 79 infantry to the table with multiple weapon options and long/mid/short range fire power (plus Space Wolves natural
CC talents).
Obviously not optimized with flamer+melta/plasma, but free and can prove effective with the proper strategy.
Not sure what would be best to spend the 80 points on. I was thinking either a melta/flamer land speeder or 2x power fists and 3x power swords on one of the gray hunters (again, not ideal, but provides some added benefit/flexibility).
C&C please
