So my idea is now that 2+ is king of the jungle I want to make a terminator army. I dont like GK and I only sort of like dark angels but I already have space wolves and I really like their color scheme and how they play and special abilities so I think they might be one of the best terminator armies out there. So I do understand that they are a bit more pricy then the other peoples but I think their abilities make up for it pretty readily. I have tooled around with a terminator list for them a little bit but I am still fairly new to the whole terminator scene even though I have always loved the models and wanted to do a terminator army I have just been waiting. So this is what I have come up with so far:

2000 Pts - Space Wolves Roster

HQ:

Logan Grimnar

Rune Priest in Terminator Armour, Jaws of the World Wolf; Murderous Hurricane

Rune Priest in Terminator Armour, Jaws of the World Wolf; Living Lightning

Elite:

Lone Wolf in Terminator Armour, Terminator Armour; Melta Bombs; Combi-Meltagun; Wolf Claw

Venerable Dreadnought: Multi-melta
Drop Pod

Troops:

5 Wolf Guard Pack in 5X storm shield + powerfist, Cyclone missile launcher

5 Wolf Guard Pack in 5X storm shield + powerfist, Cyclone missile launcher

5 Wolf Guard Pack in 4X storm shield + powerfist; Power fist+Assault cannon

Heavy Support:

6 Long Fangs Pack, 5X missile launchers

6 Long Fangs Pack, 5X missile launchers

So I should have a good mix of anti tank and troop in this list with 14 missile launcher shoots a turn assault cannon a lone wolf to tank hunt a bit and ven dread to do a little tank hunting the first turn with his drop pod. The problems I foresee with this list is flyers.. they pose a problem I haven't had much time to consider how to deal with them.. right now all I can think for for my wolves would be to maybe take some allies with flyers or maybe the cheap fortification and take a Icarus las cannon. So I would love to hear peoples input on this list and their own variations of the 2K space wolves terminator lists. Also allot of input on how wolves could deal with flyers would be great.

its, so small >w<

You have just 15 troopers, even if in Terminator Armor with SS, aren't really enough.

I will drop with no regret at all the Dread and the Lone Wolf. They wouldn't add so many things to your list.

After this you have a very solid HQ as general, 2 Psychic Hoods on the field and an average-to-nice anti AV shooty power. however you luck in mobility.
This list as it is now would be unbelievably slow, you'll need some contesting fast-moving unit.

Last thing, even if the new wound allocation method wouldn't profit deeply of different equipment I will keep some ap 2/ap 3 melee weapons in yours troops like frost blades/wolf claws. This will grant you more versatility.

I know its small so.. what would I change to make it larger. I don't know if I like frost weapons at all anymore. I mean they are the same point cost as power fists, Frost axe is now just a gakky power fist for the same cost on terminators initiative 1 ap2 +2 str over initiative 1 ap 2 str X2 I think not, frost swords being str 5 ap 3 VS wolf claws at 5 points cheaper ap 3 str 4 choose to reroll either attacks or wounds. I am pretty sure wolf claws are straight up better as far as the math hammer goes against basically anything but toughness 6 and 7.. and I don't think there is anything toughness 7. So all in all I would love to hear input on making the troop larger or adding mobility to the army for objectives and also what a good load out on terminators for the wolves would be.. I could see a mix of wolf claws and power fists. I really wish the axes where better the power fists in some way because I love the models with axes and its very fluffy to have them but... they just are not that good anymore. well... unless you are not in terminator army then they are actually pretty good because they can get an extra attack.
