Please i would love some feedback, or assistance with tactics

The missions are alot of capturing objectives, quarters, holding an objective. there are also 2 kill point missions so i need lots of trrops that wont conceed points.

I'm looking for feed back on how this list will do in a tournament with the mentioned competitors. and wasted points, or bad combos etc.

Well just looking at it rough in my head you're paying about 15 to 20 points more for the Rune Priest than you have accounted for. Either your missing something or you have extra points to spend.

In regards to the Thunderwoles, Mark of the Wolfen is a waste here, you already have rending and 4 attacks, paying to get Rending and 1d6+1 attacks (average roll is 4.5 attacks) makes no sense, save those 5 points. I'd also suggest dropping the Thunder Hammer to a Powerfist. In my experience the stunn effect of the thunder hammer doesn't come up that often, especially since you'll be hitting at Strength 10. The odds of you IDing anything with a wound and doing serious damage to any vehicle are pretty high.

If there are going to be a lot of objective missions those Fenresian Wolves might turn out to be an albatross around your neck. They can't claim objectives despite being troops, so you only have 2 scoring units. You've also put a lot of points into them (assuming that you took Canis specifically to give you the wolves as troops). I'd say pitch them and Canis.

Instead, at 1500 points I'd say your best bet is 3 Grey Hunters squads - make 2 of them large and put them in rhinos for going forward after the other guys objective. Keep the other one small with minimal equipment, park it on your objective in a Razorback.

In a kill point mission the small Hunters unit can help guard your Long Fangs.

Run your Cavalry and Battle Leader up with the transports and smash the face of something expensive with them.

I forgot to add the runic armour to the rune priest. so fixed it.

good point with the TWC and MotW, I had an extra TWC so had it for wound allocation. so fixed it.

i took canis cause i wanted to take canis, the fenrisian wolves are his shield.

i was worried about only having 2 objective units....... but the rune priests GH are only to hol the enemies objective after the wolves wave has gone through. and of course psyker defence.

thanks for the feedback.

hey guys any more feed back for this list in a tourny. Looking for something that is very competitive that is not expected. The guys i will be competing against play alot of tournys and know i am competing.

The problem with only having 2 scoring units in a tourny is your opponent (provided he is smart) will focus all heavy fire on them until the drop, which won't take long (cause there is only 2) then you loose. And if you leave them back in safty, your damage output will be reduced and your enemy's will not be, and you'll lose. Or you'll be to focused on protecting them and won't be able to apply pressure to the enemy like you want and you'll lose.

To be safe with a take all commers list, take more scoring units.

And a small squad of wolf guard with canis will probably serve better at protecting than a large squad of wolves.

You have a lot of different things in your list, I am not sure how they will all fit together.

One reason people take multiple long fangs is as they become lonely and an easy target. Not just that they are awesome.

In fact some armies I would suggest only 2 troop choices at 1500 points. For you though grey hunters are awesome, why do you not want to take 3?
Talking of which meltaguns are needed, in tournaments you see tanks.

Good luck, do report back
