Hey guys.

I'm playing a game with Space Wolves for the first time this weekend. I wanted you to check out my list and suggest any tweaks I could make or if there is any glaring oversights I've made.

Any suggestions as to which powers would suit my Rune Priest best would also be welcome, he will probably sit in the backfield with one of the Longfang with Terminator CML squads.


The plan with this list is to pod in first turn and try eliminate the heaviest enemy armour with my melta squads. I'll then use the missiles to weaken anything that comes out or take out other light vehicles in the area. The razorback squads will be moving around to objectives and also have the 4 plasma shots in them if needed to support the rest of the army. Hopefully the drop pod distraction will be enough to see my vindicator move upfield unharmed to get a few shots off. The dread will drop in turn 2 to help out where needed.

The dread gets a hf or sb but hf is super useful especially against anything less than a marine and its good even against marines.

You have to have 5 wg per every cml so i don't think that's legal.

My suggestion would be either more dp or no dp.
You currently have rather little that can help out the dp stuff.
The down side to rb is low armor easy first blood and they are going to start on the table so easy targets for your opponent.

if you like the dp the twc are a pretty good compliment for em that way you can drop down where you need and have the cav charge up and help you out.

i would go with 5 ml and a cml wg.

Other thoughts get more bodies (not saying spam but at 1500 4 ghp are pretty solid.

You seem to have rather few things and you may have problems with horde armies.

Soz battlescribe put some wargear in strange spots when I formatted it. It also allowed me to put the extra CML in but I take your word that I'm not allowed to do that so I've dropped one of the CML termies.

So i took what you said into consideration, buffed up the LF squads to 5 missiles each, added another DP and GH unit to help support the other two.

Heres what it looks like:

Thats now pretty much the exact same list as every other SW list on here (minus the vindicator), so must be good right? Personally I find GH and LF spam boring, but it does win games.

4 pods isn't that great 3 or 5 I would go for. Vindicator will have every high strength weapon shooting at it turn 1 am not sayin don't take it but be causious. They can change games pretty quick.

If going for a power weapon wolf guard I would drop him and give each squad 10 guys and a power weapon means you get a 2nd special weapon free and power weapon can't be singled out. 10 guys 2 melta standard power weapon and pod is 215 points= bargin.
