Rune priests unit holds home objective hopefuly shouldnt see much fighting.

GH and WG hopefuly can take on any unit in 1000pnts, WG should win any challenges.

A few points:

Wolf Guard: You need to buy 3 as a minimum for it to be legal. There's no option to buy 2 wolf guard.

Grey Hunters: Melta-guns aren't as good as plasma guns in a gun-line. They just don't have the range that plasma does.
You might consider Razor-backs as a cheap way to increase your damage out-put if you want a gun-line. Since you don't have much long range excluding the Long Fangs.

when ever i play with or against plasmaguns they always overheat

amended list

so only complaint range of melta guns

are the WG TH SS a bit overpriced?

used razor backs in my 5th edition list, thought they weren't worth it anymore

I think they're a little over priced yeah, You could drop the TDA on them and they'd retain most of their effectiveness in challenges.

I still prefer plasma over melta for gunline.

The razorbacks are still worth it, you just need to keep them in cover. Your opponent has to to shoot them or your long fangs. That's a difficult choice to make. In your current list, the choice is obvious - long fangs -> GHs

normal space marine terminators with TH,SS are around the 40 points mark........ WG are 18 points + 15 for termy armour (33 points) then a further 15 points per shield and hammer making them over 60 points each not worth it when you can get a strength bonus from a frost blade for 10 points.

if you are using meltas they need to be there for a purpose and have that purpose backed up by means of achieving the reason you are using them, 10 hunters with 2 meltas and a drop pod, this give a fast way to get your weapons into best effective range.

my opinion on this list would be to drop the wolf guard and small unit of hunters, add another priest, give them both mastery level 2, put both priests in your fang units and give them both the divination spell book, spend the extra point on drop pods.

other than that id say take plasmas, drop MOTW and the standard and give your units razorbacks for extra fire power.

ran this list today against two vindicators, and some nasty forge world demon.

Was not pretty, lost a lot of men, but did some clever shooting at the end and killed all his troops so he couldn't hold the objective.

got shot a lot, played another list which worked really well.

I belive is better to have 3 10 men Gh than the 3 overprice WG

I would say drop chooser you don't need it at 1k

Drop banners and motw. Take some plasma its cheap. also termies with pa nd combi plas or melta are pretty cheap and quite useful.

Might want divination. My ml lf have rarely missed with the rerolls.

Sit back and shoot

Maybe drop the 5 man ghp and get 5 hb lf they are pure gold at this points limit and its more fire power.

I agree for the HB

try this out and see how well it works, its something ive played vs nids quite a few times and won a decent amount of the games.

HQ

X2 rune priests - mastery level 2 on both (give one a bolter so they arent the same)
give both divination, this is allowed because the spells are random, i checked the FAQs a few times to make sure of this.

TROOPS

X2 10 man grey hunters - 2 plasmas

HEAVY SUPPORT

X2 6 man long fangs - 5 MLs (put priests here)

5 man long fangs - 4 HBs

use your priests to buff your MLs and so each priest has the primaris power and 1 other spell, id go for the 1 that makes opponents re roll passed saves but with the randomness the ones i dont particularly like is is precognition because its a buff to the psyker not a unit and scriers gaze because i dont use reserves or out flank if i can help it at all.

using the numbers 1-4 in the divintion spell book if you can help it will benefit the fang units and the spell costs are also the cheapest.

try it out let and see what you think, it works wonders for me because everyone tries to kill the fangs first since they are the ones killing everything else.

i belive that this list can do the job

two rune priests with divination is a waste.

Everyone's saying divination is great but from my experience, LL and MH are far better especially with the invaluable chooser of the slain meaning hits on 2+.

I've tried using rune priests with longfangs, but quite frankly its a waste, the runic weapon is good in combat and the 4+ psyhchic denier is really good too. My choice i would put them midfield. Murdirous Hurricane is range 24, great spell. If you don't know what it does look it up.

However it is still an interesting list, just to ask how would it deal with two vindicators and a uber daemon dreadnought from forge world, all front armor 13. I think your list would have serious trouble against that. That was what i faced yesterday and wasn't a particularly scary list, but with the list you suggested you would have serious problems.

So in conclusion i don't think your list is very good.

That is quite a nasty list at 1000 pts, but I'm guessing you didnt have many objective based missions to play? 2x5 GH as your only troops seems very weak to me, but then I guess if you manage to wipe out the opponent with all them missiles, then objectives mean nothing hey?

yeah the funny thing was when i was playing he didn't go for objectives he tried to wipe me out, which kind of ended up back firing as he conceded turn 3

You are playing 1 k so I'm.assuming your using a 4x4 rather than a 6x4. rp with ml or hb is great.
i would avoid making em lvl2s that's 100 points basically another rp.

I would drop all the banner and maybe motw they are ok. with.the points for banners and motw you can fill out ghs or lfp and you are still a marine in cc and therefore got this.

Divination is great make ml reroll and possibly get ignore cover too boom you arelaying some hurt on

divination is for support LL and MH is for attack is your choice what you want and once again you win onlyy with scoring units that can survive

dont forget MLs can take on 14 armour, its only glancing on a 6 but at least you can do the damage failing that drop 1 unit of MLs and add a predator annihilator then you have las cannons to shoot. but in my experience not as much survivability as giving a squad of S8 weapons a 4+ inv save and the ability to re roll failed hits, this has saved my games multiple times.

if the game was bigger id suggest using thunder wolves but i dont think they are the answer to you problems =/
