A few tips;

Njal

If you're going for a fluffy list with character, Njal is fine. But for combat effectiveness, you may get more mileage from 2 stock rune priests than one Njal Stormcaller. You'll even have 45 points to spare to give them wargear.

4 Wolf Guard
4 Termi
1 Thunder +SS
1 Frost Blade

The frost blade is waste of points. Take a wolf claw instead. The reroll's to wound that the WC give you are better than the 5 strength the FB gives you. Especially since you don't get an extra attack with the FB for having a pistol. Also ... The WC is only 5 points vs. 25 for the FB. ( I think it's 25 anyway, but in any case it's more expensive than a WC.)

I like the thunder-hammer, but I think it's a little overpriced. Personally, I'd take a powerfist instead but it's a personal choice. The only problem with taking a PF + SS combo is finding either a left handed powerfist bit or a left handed storm shield to put on the mini.

Also, this squad really needs a drop pod. It'll lose some effectiveness by getting shot up with plasma as it walks up to the enemy.

5 Wolf Guard
5 Combi m
Drop pod

Yep. I like this one. Consider adding a powerfist and / or a couple of wolf claws so that you can threaten an assault after you melt the tank.

10 Wolf Guard
3 Power Weap
9 Storm Bolters
1 Termi + Assault C

I'm conflicted about this one. I see the benefit of 9 storm bolters, but it seems like an expensive way to get more bolters. Why not just take another 10 man GH squad and add the assault cannon as a WG leader?

I like these, but I'd much rather have MotW than a PW and a Wolf Standard is very nice too.

Long Fangs are obligatory. Good choice.

And now you've lost me. I don't see the benefit of IG allies unless you're going to take something good. Grey hunters are better than IG veterans in every respect. What is the point of this exactly? Just get more space wolves.

I wouldnt even use your guard detachment, Veterans should be mounted in chimeras and since they are bs 4 you really should have melta guns or plasma guns on them.

Also if you use SS/hammer termies your terminstors get more expensive than normal termies.

I also suggest throwing a SS on your lone wolf with a chainfist as it will make him survive a little more so he could bash some enemy units in.

The idea of the guard was to sit them in objectives in my deployment, allowling me to adv the GH to take enemy objectives, whilst their s/t3 holds well enough vs the sisters s/t3

I wasnt a fan of the 10gh in droppod im hesitant to commit a large unit or a 1/3 of my scoring units to what could easily a suicide run, but the 5 WG are perfect for the job with 5 melt instead of 2. if they die, they will at least get me my first blood and take a juicy target.

ive got the guard termis as the guard for Njal as im not taking his termi arm, needed a shield. putting them in the drop pod places njal too close to death for my comfort early on.

As to two RP thats my usual go however fancied trying njal out and seeing the actual effectiveness of his storm

usually take the LW with chainf and WC letting me get extr attk with specialist weap whilst being effective vs infantry and vehicles. not sure i can spare the points this time.

Might add a pw of type to WG in DP

I like the storm bolters on WG, i find they can shoot and charge slightly better than GH, the bonus of multi cheap pws , add the termi for extra output and they usually preform well. however im aware they are expensive, will remove if need points else where, just a fav unit i surpose.

in my meta havent seen sucsessful use of MotW, with the 3arm of so much in my meta find the guaranteed no saves over extra attks.

I do normally take a vendetta with the IG but didnt think they would be needed vs SOB, thought the numbers of IG with 2x 10 for cost of 1x10 gh, normally gh would be easy winner, but like i said above s/t3 means they arnt such a bad exchange.

any some cool thoughts id likely change a few things, keep the thoughts coming.

Been rethinking the list quite a bit, some great points made above. however struggled to change a few things.

Ended up going for IG, mainly as for cost of 2 units including a Lascannon and tricks i can get another unit of GH, i feel two units of 10 gives me more board control than another unit of GHs

im a fan of throwing the guard on objectives in my half and just sit them there. something of a waste with GH, as from exp in this kinda battle. ill be the one footslogging it towards the opponent.

Ive improved the remaining two GH units, by adding a termi WG and a standard to each.

And given the WG unit some extra bang by adding a priest. rr1 all the time with a 2+/4+ save and a pw.

Added the chunky LW with a SS, ill see how this badboy performs.

I like a lot in this list, but what i dont like is its complete lack of mobility, i would maybe consider putting all 3 GH packs in drop pods, and the 2 wolf guard intended for the GH in the long fangs, but give them TA and a SS you can use them at the front of the fangs to soak up inbound wounds.

And again, echoing others comments, i just dont see the benefit of the Guard tbh

ive only got myself 2 drop pods, still putting together the 3rd, (whch will be ready for next week) :(

Yeah mobility does seem an issue, im quite hesistant to use rhinos or free victory points as they are now known.

if i could drop 3 gh units, that would seal the deal. however with 2 pods max currently

What could i do with the points currently dedicated to IG retinue.

250 points at my last count.

Would love to hear potential solutions

normally id grab another LF unit or GH unit, but thats just the usual list, and people start whineing at meta about spam this and spam that.

If you drop the wolf guard squad of 10 and take 6 in terminator armor with some hacky hacky stuff you could buy them a land raider variant with the points saved from the guard?

orrrrr you could do something funky, like drop the wolf priest and some of the wolf guard

and the guard

and buy a Thunderwolf Lord, and a unit of thunderwolves to shield him to deliver his awesomeness to combat

I run a list with TWC and a TW lord and it works really well

Im a HUGE Fan of TWC but everytime i make a post here about a list. every1 is quick to shout 'NAY that be wrong'

im glad there are others out there with an appreciation for 6 str 10 ap 1 hits , the beast however does become expensive.

so some thoughts i need to decide on, will post updated list soon
