i am entering a doubles tourney with my friend who is using dark angels, i am using space wolves and heres my list.



HQ 110

Wolf guard battle leader – melta bombs, wolf tooth necklace, mark of the wolfen, saga of the beast slayer


TROOPS 390

10 grey hunters – 2 plasma guns
Rhino

10 grey hunters – 2 plasma guns
Rhino


HEAVY SUPPORT 250

4 long fangs, 1 squad leader – 4 lascannons
Razorback – Twin-linked lascannon



the dark angels list is based around 2 units of 10 marines with 1 heavy bolter per unit, a whirlwind and a company commander

i would just like to know how to utilise these 2 lists to work together to be a competitive force

I like the standard two troop choices, but taking a heavy at 750 seems really really early to me, considering you can pick up a rune priest.

I'd also abuse the fact that in under 1000 point games, the MOTW are incredibly deadly in small squads.

Overall, I think you should be really strong for a shooty army. Good luck. (:

i have always taken a heavy in a 750 point game and i make use it always has either a lot of shots or its a blast weapon,

in the case of this competition the rules are each player must have 1 hq 2 troops minimum, after playing a few games with the local competition it seems there arent many space marine players involved mainly ork, tau and tyranid, so between me and my friend we made a list where we had everything, lots of shots, a fair few high power shots and with my long fangs being able to split their fire it means i have 3 targets total for lascannons if you count my razorback.

oh and as essentially a 1500 point space marine (750 wolves, 750 dark angels) army this means we have 40 tactical marines 6 lascannons and the whirlwinds cover negating shot (KFFG big mek eat your heart out) not to mention that wolves are still quite good in close combat.

the other thing is my friend has an alternate list that uses plasma cannons in his tac squads so i have said im gonna change the saga on my battle leader to saga of the hunter allowing him to infiltrate, since he has rending and D6 bonus attacks from MOTW as well as melta bombs and i dont really have a squad for him to join i figured he would see best combat by coming in from the flank and hitting any back line sitters.

With weapon skill 5, the WG BL does NOT need a wolf tooth necklace and he already has 4 attacks - don't limit him by giving him MotW. Give him just a plain old bolt pistol and power weapon and he's guaranteed to have 5 attacks that ALWAYS ignore armor instead of D6 + 1 attacks that sometimes ignore armor.

If you want MotW, put one in each of your GH packs and replace the dual plasma with dual melta to pay for it. One of those squads should drop down to 9 man so that your WGBL can ride with them in the Rhino.

Now the DA and your LF can hang back and shoot the enemy up. After they are properly prepped your GH's can move in and clean them up in CC.

yea ive changed my battle leader, got rid of MOTW and gave a power weapon i figure that for the same points cost its a lot more worth it since ive given him melta bombs as well he dont need rending
