I like the concept of a Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf mount so here's my go at a 1500 list that takes him without having to also take a deathstar of Twolf cavalry to run as body guards:

HQ

Wolf Lord
Thunderwolf Mount
Frost Weapon (considering Wolf Claw instead, thoughts?)
Storm Shield
Saga of the Bear
2x Fenrisian Wolves (yay ablative wounds!)
255

Rune Priest
that 5+ cover save power (can't for the life of me remember what this is called)
one other power (need help picking)
100

Elites

3x WG
PF
129

Troops

9x GH
Banner
Melta
Rhino
190

9x GH
Banner
Melta
Rhino
190

8x GH
Banner
Melta
Rhino
175

Fast Attack
13x Fenrisian Wolves
104

Heavy Support

6x LF
5x ML
140


6x LF
5x ML
140

Comes to 1393 so just over 100 points to play around with. Should I go MoTW in each squad with combi weapons on the WG?

Basic idea is to put the WL with the wolves and run them near the Priest to cast the 5+ cover save power when they're in the open.

Move everything forward into position and blamo

Thought? CC? Thanks in advance!

This list hits really hard in close combat and if you take mid field with that many grey hunters you can really wreck shop. Be careful with your wolves I have gotten burned in combat because I lost so many of them and failed a leadership check and saw my thunder lord escorted off the board because he was with wolves. I would take living lightning as your other power as it is a good rhino popping shooting attack and with the other 100 pts I would add a land speeder typhoon for more missile power in the back field and give the rune priest chooser of the slain to beef up his living lightning

For the rune priest the spell your looking for is "Storm Caller"

The other spell I recommend Is living Lighting, unlimited range d6 attacks=good stuff or Murderous Hurricane. It’s really good against low toughness models and helps control the battlefield.

I also think that Comi-meltas on the WG to make up for losing the free melta
