If this if for fun, you're going to have it. Thunder wolves are great fun and awesome models. Although the tactician in me says you don't need 5 SS on them, maybe 2 or 3 and give the others some better weapons. MotW is more suited to your GHs than the TWs since they already have a high number of attacks and rending.

I'd also like to sneak another GH squad because I like winning!

yea i know the number of storm shields isnt really necessary but i currently play 1 squad like that and set up vs orks, necraons, chaos, eldar and dark eldar and they trump everything and the MOTW is there just to add even more attacks( can really help out against vehicles ), it has even taken out charging death company and has a 50/50 win loss against charging paladins.

the way ive taken it is if 1 squad of these guys can do so much for me then i should think that 3 units would own squads.

usually i back my 1 pack of thunder wolves with 5 wolf guard and this works really nicely as it diverts attention from my massed fang squads.

I dont understand MotW on Thunderwolves... they already have 4 attacks, so I dont see how D6+1 attacks is better than that, you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting less than 4 attacks and only a 50% chance of getting more. I see that as a risk not worth taking. For the 5 points, I would rather take melta bombs to take on vehicles.

you have a point ^^ MOTW is 1 thing i re read every game and still get wrong lol i keep thinking it adds D6 attacks no idea why but hey.

i was thinking about taking the power weapons out the hunter squads and removing MOTW from the thunder wolves in order to put a power fist in each squad but im not sure how it would work, im 20 points short of 2000 here so freeing up 45 would allow me to take 2 power fists and 3 melt bombs, either way this list is purely for fun i have used it a few times against tau and once against grey knights (1 paladin heavy army and 1 purifier heavy army) and won all times. i have been told im really lucky when i use thunder wolves and they are OP anyway but if they are in combat they are safer than when being shot at so i usually consolidate from 1 unit to the next to keep them out the firing line.

Definitely more Gh they are your scoring units you cant win with out them and why not some god dawn nice missle launcher i just love them so for me leave bact 1-2 TW and take one more GH and a LF

like i said this is purely a fun list mainly to annoy my friends beause they havnt been able to kill a single thunder wolf since i started fielding them.

i my competitive list i use 2 vindicators and a fang unit usually 5 plasma cannons because i dont have the models for MLs but tbh i love using plasma fangs 9/10 they kill a full unit for me.

im looking forward to being able to field 15 ML fangs along side my 60 hunters with plasmas.(this is a 3500 point game with around 850-1000 points of guard in there as well.
