I'm a bit concerned about this list against Space Wolves. But you have plenty of FNP for the list.

I'm also concerned about LR lists, because your MMs are on fragile platforms. One good assault terminator assault on one of your 10 man squads really takes the oompth out of this list.

yeah, I can never seem to beat space wolves, the way my friend plays them is grey hunter, long fang, and razorback/rhino spam. they can just do everything better than other marine armies.

Don't feel bad. I feel that 6th edition has made the BA a tier 3 list. Just do the best you can. Without init 5 on the assault and 5++ FNP, the BA simply take too much damage in combats now and lose when they used to win. I play this hybridized mech list, but honestly, it's not truly competitive either.

no, I feel bad because I play Eldar (who are pretty terrible right now), and blood angels (who got worse, but not unusable in 6th edition).

I think the Eldar are actually a little better off than BA. But have to spam their best stuff, and its a bit boring. There's nothing in the BA list to even spam anymore. No one in 6th is unusable. It's all a matter of taste and degree.

Could get a little interesting (and imo alot of fun) to play your list if you cut a couple of priests (do you really need that many?) to get a 2nd Stormraven Gunship!

You might also consider bringing Corbulo, depending on how you plan to move your troops. Afterall, he's only +15-20pts from your Librarians)

You neither need nor want 2 stormravens at 1850. That's reserving way too many points and guns. Reserves suck already, not reason to double the suckage. For competition, you don't want interesting. You want reliable. And reserves are anything but.
