Anyone think this is any good? Never made a space wolves list. Not going to be in serious tournaments or anything but would like a nice all round army. Going to put lib with blood claws.

Get rid of the Blood Claws and make them 10 GH.

I'd also probably get a second set of LF with ML for any anti-infantry.

Also SW don't have Librarians, at least that's what I'm assuming a "lib" is

Librarian = Rune Priest?

Echoing the sentiment about the Blood Claws; Grey Hunters remain one of the best troop choices in the game.

If you're going for good all-around effectiveness, drop the Lascannons from the Long Fangs and give them Missile Launchers. With all those meltaguns you've got the AT thing pretty well stitched up; get some mass firepower.

Yeah by lib I mean rune priest. Right that makes sense I'll drop the lascannons and wolf claws, I'll give the rune priest jump pack and living lightning and jaws and a jump pack? Also is it worth keeping the razorbacks with lascannons or freeing up some more points for long fangs and ML? Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

Also, is it worth upgrading the wolf guard terminators a bit? What's the best way to run them? They seem slightly basic but it's so expensive for the upgrades!

I don't think the WG need two powerfists, maybe a power weapon instead?

Jump pack isn't really worth it because none of your other units have jump packs and you don't want him on his own. He's better being put with a unit, maybe the LF pack and give him divination for rerolls and stuff.

Drop the razor backs as the long fangs are better and are probably harder to kill.

Yeah. I secon the post above. Razorback spam was good in 5th. Now, not so much.

Maximum Power Armor is a massive strong point for SW, 1-3 long fangs squads depending on game size, 1-2 Rune priests depending on game size, Wolf Guard/Drop pods and 10man GH squads until you run out of points. You can dominate a game board while your opponent struggles to remove you from objectives.

The only reason to take Blood Claws is if you take 15 of them kitted out for close combat, add a wolf priest and put them in a LR Crusader. Otherwise, you should go with Grey Hunters.

First, you can't fit 10 dudes in a razorback, so this squad will be walking. Second, how are they going to get close enough to use their meltaguns if they're walking. Third, you dont' really want that razorback too close to the enemy. It wants to sit back and shoot it's lascannons.

My advice is to ditch the razorback and either take a drop pod or a rhino, then add a MotW to one guy.

I like this unit. I'd like it better with MotW.

You've already got plenty of melta in the GH squads. I would exchange some or all of these combi-meltas with plasmaguns - OR - give 2 plasmaguns (instead of melta) to one or both GH squads and let the Termies do the tank busting from their drop pod.

You don't need the razorback and you may be overspending on 5 lascannons. You should consider taking a couple of them as missile launchers instead.

I think the predators are a waste of points. More long fangs will both have more firepower and won't die as fast. Besides, the predators aren't much of a threat with just HB's. But if you really want heavy bolters, imagine taking 6 long fangs with 5 HB's and using divination on them instead. More firepower than the predator, can split fire, gets re-rolls to hit with Divination and doesn't die as fast and costs just about the same.

It's not bad for a first try. Don't put the Rune priest in front though. Keep him with the long fangs.

Wow thanks so much for breaking it down That's a real help, really appreciate that. Going to try a revised list.

The 5 wolf guard will split up into each grey hunters and long fangs squad, cyclone and rune priest will go into same long fangs squad. Is this list any better? I have 150 spare, is it worth getting some land speeders as distractions? Or like 5 grey hunters multi plasma in a drop pod? Or a tank as I don't have any toys really!

I would consider playing with your hunter squads for full 10 man packs, the free additional assault weapon is allways worth it imho

The poster above is right. The extra weapon is nice. However, let me be honest...when you're alpha striking your meltagun squads, you're betting that you can destroy most or all of his vehicles on the first turn. After that, your meltaguns have limited value. So what I suggest is to set your squads up like this...



This way, you'll get 2 meltashots on the turn you drop, you'll still have one left for later and you'll be well prepared for a close combat. AND you'll have a full pod of 10 space wolves. You only need three squads like this. To pay for it, make this change...



Then

Well the terminators with cyclone will join each squad which is why there is 8 maybe I should find some room to give them all meltas for in that squad? As I'd like the cyclone in a long fangs for 2 extra shots.
