Hey guys, posted up a thread a couple of days back and got some good if not conflicting responses
Anyway had a bash at my list again and took some things on board... threw my LF's back in

here it is:

HQ: 120pts

1x Rune Priest - 120pts
TDA

Elites: 100pts

1x Lone Wolf 100pts
TDA, TH, SS, 2 Wolves

Troops: 485pts

10x Grey Hunters - 165pts
2x Melta, Standard

10x Grey Hunters - 165pts
2xMelta, Standard

10x Grey Hunters - 155pts
2x Melta

Fast Attack: 80pts

10x Fenrisian Wolves - 80pts

Heavy Support: 215pts

6x Long Fangs 140pts
5x Missiles
TL Lazerback 75

1000pts

Priest has TDA to make him more survivable should he get into combat and it will also give the squad he is in a little more survivability ( I think anyway, tell me if im wrong )
Wolves are there to take an over watch or two while my troops footslog
Long fangs do what long fangs do with their TL Lazerback.
Lone Wolf is there to fill in points and give me a tough nut 2+/3++/5+++ with 2 ablative wounds?
Toyed with giving Priest Master of runes?

Cheers let me know what you think.

Three comments...

1) You only have one vehicle. That means that the razorback is going to draw pretty much all of your opponents anti-vehicle fire for the first 2+ turns. As such, it might get to shoot once before it dies, but only if you get the first turn. Is a single shot from a twin linked lascannon really worth 75 points? So my suggestion is to either find something better to spend the points on, or else find a way to put about 3 more vehicles in this list. One light vehicle is just dead metal.

2) It's probably going to be really difficult to get the grey hunters close enough to a vehicle to actually use those meltaguns. Your opponent will know to avoid them and his vehicles can easily move faster than your foot sloggers. If you want to field double meltaguns effectively, maybe you should give two of those units drop pods. The third unit should then take double plasmaguns instead of melta. Plasmaguns are great for chewing up tough infantry, but they can also pop light vehicles - something that might be common in a 1000 point game.

3) I think the Fenrisian Wolves and the Lone Wolf are good choices. Same with the TDA on the Rune Priest. Your Rune Priest does NOT need master of runes. 50 points is half way to another rune priest.

For me leave the wolves and LW and make 2LF of 4 ML put 3 THW with TH and 3x SS and short one GH
