So what do you guys think?

too many special units and not enough troops. At 1500 points, you can't really over spend on fancy units - ie, units that are not troops. You have

1) 240 points of TWC
2) 220 points in a wolf lord
3) 130 points of scouts
4) 105 points in a lone wolf and
5) a 60 point land speeder

That's 755 points. More than half your army is composed of one-trick-ponies. I'm not saying that those units don't have uses, or that they're somehow bad units. I'm just saying that at 1500 points you need to be selective and choose ONE. Then build your army around that.

I'd recommend dropping the scouts and probably the land speeder. Possibly even the lone wolf since the TWC are more than adequate for CC and they're faster. Use the points to either buy another 10 man grey hunter squad, or beef up your two 6 man squads to 10. Then, use anything left for Long Fangs.

I kinda think that long fang missile spam is a bit of a game breaker. although very effective i try not to take more than 1 unit.
How about I drop the lord en speeder for more grey hunters?
I kinda like the scouts. Havent really playtested the lone wolf so I kinda really want to use him.

I think that's a good plan. I personally think that the wolf lord is not worth 220 points. He's tough, but he's just one model.

If you are offended by missile spam, consider taking a unit of long fangs with 5 heavy bolters. Use your rune priest with divination powers or a wolf priest to give them re-rolls. People will scoff at them - "they're just heavy bolters" - until you wipe out entire units of troops with them.

I would be careful when considering dropping the speeder. They are extremely effective for what they do and how much they cost. But i agree with Grug when it comes to troops and how many you have. The Lone wolf is pricy for what he does and will probably just die to bolter fire. I also think you will find the scouts to be better on paper than actual performance. I ran them once and immediately removed them. I respect your decision for LF missile spam because i agree, I run exactly what grug suggested and it tears people up. I suggest playing your list as you have it and seeing what performs the way you like and what is fun for you. You can adjust from there. For Russ!
