Here is a list that I worked up last night. It is CC oriented, but I think that it has enough ranged punch to take care of transports. The Wolf Lord, Wolf Priest, and the Guard all ride in the LRR. The Rune Priest rides with one of the hunter packs, casting LL. I know that it is generally not recommended to take 1 raider at 2K. I also know that 3 troops at 2K is also not optimal. The contents of the wagon would dish out a mean amount of hurt though. Here's the list:
-=HQ=-
Wolf Lord: WC/SS, Saga of the Warrior Born, meltabombs – 190
Wolf Priest: Wolf Tail Talisman – 105
Rune Priest: LL & MH, Chooser – 110
-=Elites=-
9x Wolf Guard: Combi-flame/PF, SB/PW, Combi-flame/CCW, Combi-flame/PW, Combi-flame/WC, SS/CCW, SS/SB, SB/CCW, 1x MotW, 1x Meltabombs – 301
3x Wolf Guard: PW, Meltabombs - 99
Land Raider Redeemer: MM, Extra Armour – 265
-=Troops=-
8x Grey Hunters: 1xPW, 1x Melta, 1x Wolf Standard, MotW, Rhino (Dozer) - 205
8x Grey Hunters: 1x PW, 1x Melta, 1x Wolf Standard, MotW, Rhino (Dozer) - 205
8x Grey Hunters: 1x PW, 1x Melta, 1x Wolf Standard, MotW, Rhino (Dozer) – 205
-=Heavy Support=-
6x Long Fangs: 3x ML, 2x LC – 170
6x Long Fangs: 2x Plasma, 3x HB - 145

Let me know what you think!

Seems like a pretty solid list, i never use plasma weapons but thats just me. Also heavy bolters are extremely meh, i would make that squad 3 ML 2LC since missiles will have similar infantry killing abilities but are still versatile and can pound vehicles. If your fighting MEQ's A krak missile will inflict .55 wounds and a HB would only inflict .44444. Againt GEQ's however the bolter is better, so i always take missiles for versatility and range, but if you fight GEQ' more often the bolter is the way to go, so just depends on what you encounter in your meta

I understand what you are saying about the second Long Fang Pack. I thought that it would be cost-effective, and would provide mid-range fire support. PlasCan blasts and heavy bolters should be able to handle MEQ, and would definitely put a dent in GEQ. That pack might really benefit from a rhino though. This is definitely an in your face kind of army, so I thought that the HBs and PlasCans kind of fit into that methodology. There are a lot of guard in my meta, but also orks and nids, so having horde killing ability is necessary. They are mostly mechanized though, so I still need can openers.

If it were me I would replace all those combi-flamers with Combi-plasma and try to find the points to give the wolf priest runic armor. That way you have 8 shots for meq and TDA killing and you have a 2+/4+ guy for more survivability.

With TDA WG in the wagon, I would definitely give them combi-plasmas. PA WG do not have relentless, so they would not be able to assault after firing the plasmas, and assault is what this unit is all about. I would consider switching to combi-meltas, but I figured that the flamers would fit better with the assault nature of the unit.

I took the list back to the drawing board and came up with this:

-=HQ=-
Wolf Lord: WC/SS, Saga of the Warrior Born, meltabombs – 190
Wolf Priest: Wolf Tail Talisman, SB – 108
Rune Priest: LL & TW, Chooser – 110

-=Elites=-
4x Wolf Guard: PF, Combi-melta – 172

-=Troops=-
9x Grey Hunters: 1x PW, 1x Melta, MotW, Wolf Standard – 180
9x Grey Hunters: 1xPW, 1x Melta, 1x Wolf Standard, MotW, Rhino (Dozer) - 220
9x Grey Hunters: 1x PW, 1x Melta, 1x Wolf Standard, MotW, Rhino (Dozer) - 220
8x Grey Hunters: 1x PW, 1x Melta, 1x Wolf Standard, MotW, Rhino (Dozer) – 205

-=Heavy Support=-
Land Raider Redeemer: MM, Extra Armour – 265
5x Long Fangs: 4x LC – 175
6x Long Fangs: 2x Plasma, 3x ML, 1x Meltabombs - 160

It has a little more in the way of AT, and there are now four scoring units. I had to sacrifice a bit of bite in the deathstar by subbing GHs for WGs, and there are definitely a lot less power weapon attacks, and it would also be less durable due to the lack of storm shields. I think that it is a bit more balanced, and not counting the Saga, it would still dish out 10 PW attacks, 3 PF attacks, d6+1 rending, and 14 regular attacks on the charge. With good selection of unit type, you can pretty much count on Preferred Enemy from the Wolf Priest as well.
So, what ya think?
