I have found that my style of play is more hybrid. I like a mix of foot and mech in my list. So I create a SW list with my current models (and find that they are ~100 pts cheaper. Wow!!! You can't explain that!).
What do you think? Will this beat your Dual Storm Raven list? Your typical Gay knight Paladin list? Your typical Necron AV13 spam list?
Rune Priest - Living Lightning - Jaws
Dreadnought - Plasma Cannon - DCCW

Wolf Standards are a fantastic compliment to a full size grey hunter squad -- especially with mark of the wulfen. I'd strongly suggest dropping the HK missile for it.
The predator seems a little strange, but the rest looks alright. Maybe take a look at murderous hurricane. It's a consistently potent power, whereas JotWW is more situational.

@Corollax: Thank you.
I have 2 Preds lying around and thought that they would be a good AV13 shield for the 2 TLLC Razorback sitting in the back field popping stuff. It is also cheaper than a squad of LF. Would you recommend something else instead?

I think your proposed use of the Pred makes sense. Longfangs give more firepower, point for point, but they don't ignore splinter fire from Venoms, and they don't Tank Shock late game, either.
Looks like a fun list. Nice and rounded, not too spammy, but with plenty of tools to play a solid competitive game. I agree about the wolf standards. You could also keep one HK and afford the second standard by swapping one GH unit to meltas instead of plasma, couldn't you?

@Mannahin: Thank you for the comment.
I think switching one 10-man GH to melta and give them wolf standard will definitely go a long way. They can wait in the Rhino for 1 turn and then come in for the kill.

You've got a lot of venom-resistant long-range firepower in the TLAC dreadnoughts already. Is the predator strictly necessary?
There's a lot to be said for presenting a homogenous defense to the enemy. If you're bringing nothing but 3+ armor and AV11, that means the enemy has to waste their lascannons and meltas on cheap stuff.
Mixing your defense means that the enemy always gets to shoot their firepower where it's most effective. Keep that in mind.

Frightening Flamer of Tzeentch

It's true - mark of wulfen and a wolf standard together are quite scary I combination to say the least. Play test it and see for yourself.
I find chooser of the slain on the Rune Priest useful for the +1 BS and the ability to counter infiltrators. Works well in combination with Wolf Jaws with a potential of 6 str 7 shots hitting on 2's. Not bad.
I like to include a wolf guard in each grey hunter squad with a combi-melta and power fist for dealing with vehicles (or heavy infantry if he can absorb the damage in first round and survive). Gives the GH some more flexibility without being a huge points drain.
Racing forward in the Rhinos/Razors and dominating the mid-table seems essential from the few times i've played them, and it's something to wolves do extremely well. Hide behind those metal boxes mid-table and charge anything within range after softening it down with the ranged weaponry.

I admit I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but Chooser of the Slain looks fantastic. Long Fangs are quite vulnerable to outflanking opponents, and a 25% increase in your Rune Priest's firepower is nothing to sneeze at.

I honestly like the idea of the predator. It brings more armor to the field. You already have nine vehicles 10 will just start to get even more overwhelming which is good for you.
