Badass Space Wolves: 1500 pts.

HQ:
Wolf Lord - Thunderwolf, Frost Axe, Saga of the Warrior Born, 2x wolves =250pts
Rune Priest - LL, JotWW =100pts
Wolf Priest - Jump Pack

Fast Attack:
Thunderwolf Cavalry(2) - Storm Shield, Wolf Claw =200pts
10 Skyclaws - MotW, Power Weapon

Troops:
Grey Hunters - MotW, Meltagun, Flamer, Rhino, Standard =210pts
9 Grey Hunters - MotW, Melta, , Rhino, Standard =215pts

I decided to go a little different with this list. As my thunderwolves have been just lying around my shelf, unused.
I also wanted to see what those Skyclaws could do(not the best unit, I know). I don't have much anti-tank though, but
I think it should be obvious why I picked the Rune Priest.

NO LF NO SW army sorry!!!!

Hmm, I think you should re-think this guy. Hitting last with warrior born is problematic.
Either hit fast or hit hard is my opinion on thunderwolf lords. So go with a frost blade or wolf claw pair if you want to try and overpower at I5.
If you want to hit hard, I'd get an invulnerable save on him and take a pf. You loose and attack but you hit harder and have EW.
Either way I think a ++ save is good to have on a character that expensive. Also put a wolftooth necklace on there.

Since you are using the Thundercav. with a claw and sheilds you probably want to max out the heavy hitter stats of the lord.

The rune priest is grand, maybe a chooser to keep infiltrators off your side of the board.

Here is the issue I have with priest and skyclaws. Skyclaws are a spam with attacks kind of squad, the amount of points you are putting into a character that sits with the squad is enough to pay for another 7 skyclaws. I'd make them cos that is 28 more attacks on the charge that will spam the hell out of any unit.

Your troops I think could do with plasma. As they won't be doing much by way of combat so drop the mark and put on a wolf banner for those times you get charged. That give you re-rolls on all the important stuff and doesn't waste points trying to fill a role the FA section will be doing.

I actually have standards on both my grey hunter squads. But you are correct about the Wolf Priest though, I took him for the re-rolls.
I ran out of pints, but if I remove the pries, I'll be able to have a ++ save on the Lord. My problem is that in my gaming group there are a lot of 2+ saves, so I thought that might do better BUT
2x Wolf Claws might fix this problem(with the re-rolls).

How about:
HQ:
Wolf Lord - Thunderwolf, 2x Claws, Belt =205pts
Rune Priest - Chooser, LL, JotWW =110pts

Fast Attack:
2 Thunderwolf Cavalry - 1 Shield, 1 Claw =150pts
10 Skyclaws - MotW, Power Weapon =210pts

Troops:
Grey Hunters - Meltagun, Flamer, Rhino, Standard =210pts
9 Grey Hunters - MotW, Plasma, Rhino, Standard =205pts
10 Blood Claws - Power Fist =175pts

Hvy Support:
Land Raider =250pts

I think this list is much better, But I think you'll get more for your points out of 5 stock TWC (250 points) than one wolf lord (260 points).

I like the way your troops are set up.

I corrected some error countings and it should be a little better now.
