I got creamed in the last several games against 2+ armour save galore (Terminators) and flyer circuit. :|

So I decided that a list which would counter both would be best:

Rune Priest - Runic Armour - LL + Murderous Hurricane
Rune Priest - Wolf tail, Wolf tooh, Meltabomb - Jaws + Murderous Hurricane
Rune Priest - Melta bomb - LL + Jaws

Wolf Guard
- Combi-melta + power fist (leading GH)
- Combi-melta + power fist (leading GH)
- Bolter + power fist (leading GH)
- Combi-melta + pistol (leading GH in Bastion 1)
- Combi-melta + pistol (leading GH in Bastion 2)


Grey Hunters
- 10, MotW, Meltagun, free Plasmagun, Power Weapon, Wolf Standard
- 10, MotW, Meltagun, free Plasmagun, Power Weapon, Wolf Standard
- 10, MotW, Meltagun, free Plasmagun, Power Weapon, Wolf Standard
- 5x, Meltagun
- 5x, Meltagun

Long Fangs
- 5 ML
- 2 LC, 3 ML
- 4 PC, 1 ML

Fortification
- Imperial Bastion w/ Quad-gun
- Imperial Bastion w/ Quad-gun

The way to play the list is:
1- I have good anti-psychic power (negating on 4+ within 24"), if they target me, I get 4+ then 5+/4+ Deny the Witch
2- I have good AA. Long fangs are in the bastions shooting from the fire points (with Fire Control) while 5-man w/ WG are in the Battlement shooting non-stop. The Bastion is super tough to crack AND the Quad-gun can fire at both flyers and ground target reliably.
3- If I go against high save units (Paladins, Terminators, ...), I will swap 1 of my rune priest for Divination + Telekinesis Primaris Power. Then the combine of Assail + Dual Jaws will outright kill MCs, flying MCs, most 2+ armour save when they have to make an initiative test on I2.

What do you guys think? My only problem with this list is I have very little mobility. I believe I will have a hard time getting further objectives on Hammer and Anvil deployment.

just by eyeballing it...2k points or so.

no transports at all? no outflanking....no deep striking. With this list how do you plan to travel around the board, just footing it? if that's the case, yes...you'll null some magic and kill some fliers, but you'll lose most objective matches just because your hunters will get squashed in the open field.

maybe run 3 9 man squads of hunters. and run a priest with each one in a rhino. That'll save you 130 points and give you a ton more mobility (especially with the priests).

with that 130 points you can even make one of the RP's Njal to null things on a 3+, or a 4th set of Long Fangs since you are at force org double.

I'd much rather have 27 mobile guys in 3 rhinos who can capture objectives at midfield and beyond, then 40 in 5 sets who are footslogging.

GL with your list
