Over the weekend I played in the NEWCC; the format was doubles games, with a four man team. Much like the Adepticon Team Tournament, you had a four person team and each round a different pair of you would play a doubles match (all possible pairings expressed over three rounds), and had a modified limited force org. Each person had to take an HQ and two Troops, but Troops maxed out at 3 slots, and each other slot was 0-1. Of the four players, one could take an extra Troop, one an extra Elite, one an extra FA and one an extra Heavy. I got the extra HS.

I ran:

Rune Priest with Jaws & Lightning (rides w/9 GH)
Rune Priest on Bike with Jaws & Stormcaller (leads wolves)
9 Grey Hunters w/Flamer, Wolf Standard, Power Axe, Rhino
10 GH w/2x melta, Wolf Standard, Power Axe, Rhino
10 GH w/plasma, melta, Wolf Standard, Power Sword, Rhino
15 Fenrisian Wolves
5 Long Fangs w/4x Missile Launchers
5 Long Fangs w/2x Lascannons, 1x Missile, 1x Plasmacannon



I enjoyed the list. Lots of bodies and good speed; nice amount of both assault and shooting. The wolves + bike character was definitely fun and something I'd enjoy trying again at some point, though probably with a WGBL or Wolf Lord to make it harder-hitting. Or maybe a Wolf Priest, even.

Leadership is not great, though. I might have been better off, honestly, dropping two or all three of the Rhinos for Wolf Guard to lead the squads; possibly in terminator armor. A Drop Pod could also be a good inclusion.

i like your list but arent the wolves a bit weakr 1/5 of your ar for your army

Oh the irony of using Dark Angels to represent Wolves.

How did the Fenrisian wolves work out for you? I like the idea of putting a biker accompanying them and I've never had the balls to run them since they're so squishy.

Also, how did the rhinos do? I know a lot of people dislike them, but I still like them despite using drop pods almost exclusively recently.

Fallen Angels, actually.

The Fenrisian wolves were fun; fast moving and dirt cheap for how hard they hit. Having Move Through Cover means they can use terrain for maximizing their cover saves. They are a bit fragile, especially if the priest dies. While he's alive, though, Ld10 and ATSKNF are awesome.

The Rhinos were okay; Wolf Guard in terminator armor might be better.

I have been crafting up some 1250 lists for similar purposes. i have been using adl with qd gun or iclsc. seems pretty solid. Dudes on foot work so well.especially with the defense line.

try 2 5 man ml units with rp being able to take divination makes them pretty painful.
hb are pretty solid too i have had great success with them.
