Suggestion for modifications are more than welcome.

Edit. Fixed wolf guard squad.

This list is wrong, you cannot have two WG poet GH unit, you cannot have both AC and CML on only 8 wolf guards, probably more misstakes also

Sorry the points for the wg are for 10 not 8. My bad but someone with your smarts probs noticed that already.

Now that that is clarified is this list still wrong and full of mistakes?

The only thing is that you can only add ONE wolf guard to each unit. Four of your grey hunter units have 2 wolf guard each. That's not legal. But it's no big deal. You can just separate those 4 extra WG into their own unit.

I kind of like the list. The only tweaks I would make would be to drop the scouts and get more long fangs. Maybe I'd ditch the flamers too.

Ok my bad wasthinking they were ic but guess.not. guess ill make an angry unit of wg.

The flamer was there because of spare points.

I would like another set of devs. just don't have 10 ml.
how would heavy bolters be? i mean 15 shots seems like it could hurt.

also which wg should be dropped pw or pf? with challenges i can see how the fist would be at a disadvantage but the pw is only a pw any thoughts?

I would have taken any other weapon except Heavy bolter if you have the point for them

On wolf guard weaponry there are many opinions right now. If you would choose between those, then i would go for the PW. The reason is you have a bigger chans of actually killing something, aswell as the fact that WG in PA with PF is the same price as WG in TDA with PF, so take him instead.

Personally i only run WG with plasma pistol and chainsword now if i need them in PA. Because with precision shot and challenges they have a better chance like that than in close combat.

If i go terminator to my foot sloggers i go WC+ combiplasma rather than PF or PF+WC, in 6 th edition you get +1 attack for wielding two special weapon, not two special of same kind

I really like Long Fangs with Heavy Bolters, but there is some debate among space wolf players here on Dakka. They're especially nice when a Rune Priest uses divination on them. Or even better yet, when a wolf priest gives them preferred enemy! The really nice thing about HB's is that you can move and still shoot snap shots and you can overwatch with them. AND.....they're AP4 which pretty much gimps a lot of troops (eldar, dark eldar, orks, tau fire warriors, necron warriors.)

Meh...It's debatable. Frankly, I've played something like 20 small games of 6th Edition and I have only fought one challenge. I think you have to design your units for the way you want to play them and play them the way they are designed...Who exactly are you prepared to fight a challenge against, and whom will you avoid? Remember - you don't have to engage in close combat! Sometimes, it's better to stand there, shoot and let the enemy come to you.

For example, you'll obviously want the power weapon against space marine sergeants. But your opponent will arm his bad-ass with either a 2+ armor save or an initiative 5 power weapon or both. So either your AP3 weapon bounces off of his 2+ armor, or else he hits you first with Init 5 anyway. Chances are good that you're going to die before you get to attack no matter what you WG is armed with - but with a power axe or power fist, you might get to wound him. Only if you're really lucky though.

On the other hand, if you want to fight his bad-ass then you'll want terminator armor, storm shield and a thunder hammer. Put this guy in a unit of grey hunters with a wolf standard with a wolf priest. Now you've got all of your bases covered. If the enemy rolls in with an AP3 weapon at initiative 5, then you'll get your 2+ armor saves with re-rolls on the first round (from the wolf standard) and you'll have a great chance of hitting back. If he has an AP2 weapon with Init 1, then you'll strike simultaneously but you'll have the 3+ invulnerable (re-rolling 1's) to fall back on. You'll also have preferred enemy from the wolf priest - depending on what unit type the enemy character is - which lets you re-roll all 1's to hit and all 1's to wound. This is going to give you a really good chance to kill his uber character and your WG costs less than 100 points wih this set up. Of course, you can really only afford like one of these models, so you have to make sure to put him in the correct place on the board.

Thanks for the input it had helped a lot. I'm used to playing ba so i am used to running at an opponent. Rather thN sitting back.

ill definitely try the th ss guy cuz i have arjack. Or is he worth taking in an army like this.

i haven't played 6th with wolves only ba so my knowledge is a bit limited.

The wg with th ss is chillin in a ghp with the wolf and rune priest to keep them out of trouble.

I think with the focus fire and mostly reduced cover saves i think the hb can do some damage they can put a few wounds on marines i can imagine two dropping and with 2 or 3 rounds and over watch would knock them down a few pigs.

This idea hurts my head and makes me want to turn into a cow patty of a Tyr'd just so I don't have to think how stupid of an idea this is.

I think wolf scouts losing the ability to assault after outflanking is a huge huge detriment. For the purposes of an all foot list they are still valuable for disruption purposes but if you plan to outflank with them I would keep them cheap cheap cheap. Like single melta gun on a min squad cheap.

Also, add more rune priests. Divination Primaris power and [power number 3] would really help out a foot list.

Also, AP 2 has greater value and I believe it makes the high cost of lascannon long fangs worth it. Since so many points are saved on transports, splurge on a unit of them.

According to the FAQ, you can attach any IC or WGPL to scouts and still outflank... scouts are back in hahaha (melta Scouts with Arjac???)

I've thought about running a Wolf Priest with Saga Hunter in with GH 2x plasma squad. If I read the rules right, they get outflank, so you can use GH as scouts in this manner?

ooohhhh Saga Hunter Wolf Priest! That is something to think about!
