Okay, looks pretty good, but you never want a solo wolf rider, he's only good if hes with at least 3 others. Otherwise you can't make use of the cavalry charge and fleet. You nver want to leeroy your hq in by himself either.

Sorry if it wasn't very clear, but my Lord wolf rider is accompanying the 5 other Thunderwolf Cavalry, which is more than at least 3 others

I'd drop a TCAV to get the "Thunderlord", the 275 point variant with THammer, SS, Runic Armor, and all the trimmings. Give him an entourage of cavalry with all SS and you'll be having some fun. I run that combo in my 2K list and it's disgusting.

Also, without Saga of the Bear, your 245 awesome dude is one force weapon, vindicator, rail gun, or many other ways to get Instant Death away from being a massive point sink. My measure is that if you're going over 150+ points on a single dude, he'd better be an eternal warrior.

I'd drop the WTT off the Rune Priest. The Wolf Standard also works amazingly well with a model with Mark of the Wulfen.

Just my thoughts from running my own pups in tournaments. Not having Long Fangs is a set back, but if you're going for fun, bringing a giant deathball of TCAV will certainly make your opponents pause...

... also Arjac in their backfield! XD

For 1500, having 5 TWC plus the lord does seem like a lot. I'll see what I could fit in if I take one out. I like the idea of a 2+ on my lord but not sure if I'll change the claw to a hammer.

Only reason I didn't have max size squads with wulfen was I had to cut something back to fit in 1500, but maybe with 1 less TWC and no talisman on the priest I can fit a couple in.

Arjac in the backfield throwing his hammer with wolves coming up from the front and a rhino with priest shooting living lightning out the hatch all seem fun to me though.
