There is not enough anti tank to de mech most armies. With only 4 combi meltas and 8 rockets your a little lacking. You need more lascannons to tank out enemies before your wolf guard get there. It could work well if you played carefully but it will still be hard. try bringing lascannons on rhazorbacks or maybe a typhoon missle launcher. It is a list with good potential if you tweak it. I hope I helped.

I have got 8 combi meltas actually - Logan's squad has 4 for when they land next to something tasty...

I've never had much fun with Lascannons - for the extra point of strength they never seem worth the extra points.

You have a lot of anti troop in there, I assume those razorbacks are twin linked heavy bolters. You are a bit light on something to deal with heavy armour, missiles are good for most things but av 13/14 are too much of an ask for them.
Meltaguns are good but they need to get up close to do anything.

It may be an idea to stick in a few twin linked lazcannon razorback to fix that.

sorry forgot about Logan's squad . Going up against certain armies like ig orks or rhino/rhazorback spam you should do fine, you will have trouble when your opponent brings LR but they could be solved by combi meltas from drop pods. This list is better than I originally thought as I had left out the drop pod squad and I didn't have my codex on me to check points. You should roll swarms and terminators if you can pop their landraiders. If you play smart you should be able to do well, and the list is rather individualised so you may surprise some opponents. Good Luck.

I could echo what I said on B&C, but I'll just add that the points you save on switching to GH could be used to buy you those shiny guns you need for you RB's.

End of Line

Personally, I think the extra attack is worth paying the points for - and getting Power Fists 10 points cheaper.

31 Wolf Guard are 93 points more expensive than taking the same as Grey Hunters - could get me nearly 3 Twin Linked Lascannons but would have 31 less attacks across the piece.

The idea (in my head!) is to be getting into combat with those Wolf Guard, not to be shooting with them. That's why I wanted the sword and fist combo - I think it'd be very nasty in combat.
