All,

I am trying to create my own space marines chapter called the Thunder Lords, whose theme is their love of the application of overwhelming amounts of high explosives and firepower.

The reason i chose to base them on the space wolves codex was the long fangs, which most closely match the devestator type im going for, and the rune priest psychic powers, which are allmost all storm themed.

Im tring to come up with builds for 1000 point games without just being a spammer and without going into cheese territory.

Also because of the theme im trying to focus on things that go BOOM, such as cyclone missles, whirlwind missles, typhoon missles, and good old man portable launchers.

I will take all suggestions and not cast anything aside just because i dont like it at first glance.

P.s. the armies i play against are stealer heavy nids, area denial tau, paladin heavy grey knights, and necrons.

Post a list that you are kinda thinking about so the mods don't get mad

Option 1:

Rune priest: 125
Runic armor, wolftail
LL and MH psychic powers

Wolf gaurd: 155
4 with combi- meltas
1 w/ termie with cyclone
(with runepriest in rhino)

Grey hunters: 310
4 meltas
14 boltguns
Two sergants
(2 regular wolfgaurd attached)
In droppods


2 long fang squads 230
8 missle launchers
Two squad leaders
(two wolfgaurd attached. 1reg 1cyclone)

1 typhoon landspeeder: 90

oh sorry, my bad, ignore this list entirely, i forgot space wolf drop bod is 10 instead of 12 cap and i plan on changing up the list anyway.

in the meantime my 750 point list is as follows:

rune priest as above: 125

395pts in grey hunters with meltas, 1 power weapon in rhinos

230 points in aforementioned longfangs with ml's

for kill points list long fangs surround libby, who is using murderous hurricane to keep peeps away or LL to pop armour threats. hunters form a ring and use rhinos as mobile cover while heavys blast enemies back to stone age.
