In my current Space wolf list (it is still in the works) I have 3 squads of longfangs (15 in all) as well as 4 Lascannon Razor backs (which i think i might change to Assault cannons) My idea is to drop one of the squads of longfangs to free up some points. At 2500 point level..is 3 squads of them needed? I will put the list here ((it is being changed some)) And my idea for dropping one squad will be to buy 2 extra rhinos, and put my Rune priests and 5 man squads in them so he can shoot jaws of of the top. Also to free up points and attempt to throw Storm shields on most of my TWC.

Wolf Guard Battle Leader
TW Mount
Frost Axe
Storm Shield
Saga of the Warrior Born

3 Rune Priest
1 w/ Bolter 1w/ Wolf Tail Talisman / 1 stock
(Powers will be Jaws and something else)

Grey Hunters (4 units of 5)
1 melta
Razorback w/TL lascannon

Grey Hunters (2 units of 10)
2 Meltas
Rhino

Thunderwolf Cavalry 3 units of 3

Unit 1-2
Stormshieldx2
Bolter
Thunderhammer (Might change to frost axe)
Unit 3
Stormshield/Frost axe
2 bolters

Longfangs (3 units of 6)
5 Missile launchers

Hmmm, interesting idea.

A lot of competitive players say take as many Long Fangs as you can, I usually say take as many as you need. Go ahead and make the change out and get some good sized rhino-riding troops in there, but make sure you plan to make up the anti-tank power some other way.

Also, don't put bolters on Thunderwolves! Thunderwolves are a face smashing close combat unit. Bolters prevent you from assaulting if you shoot them. Bolt Pistols let you fire, assault, and if you have another close combat weapon give you an extra attack in the close combat - a win all around for the Thunderwolves.

Do you need three squads of Long Fangs? Are your three squads of TWC differently armed for wound shenanigans? JotTW.

Obviously making friends through Warhammer is something that you don't care about

You don't NEED three squads of LF, two can still fire at four targets. Rhinos are good because they add so much mobility and survivability to your men. I don't know too too much about SW (mostly because I hate their lore, attitude, Leman Russ, and what happened to my beloved Thousand Sons) but if you have your 5 man squads and Rune Priests you can disembark and be gay with cover and still have extra some heavy weapon shots from the Razorback. Or atleast that's what the cool kids do.
