This list is about as straight forward as you can get. I'm only debating about a few things. For instance, the plasma pistol was just a last minute addition to get up to 1000. I could change things around with the Grey Hunter packs, if anyone has any good ideas.

Space Wolves - 1000 point

HQ - Rune Priest (100)
Troop - GH x10, Drop Pod, Standard, Plasma Gun x2, MOTW, Plasma Pistol (235)
Troop - GH x10, Drop Pod, Standard, Plasma Gun x2, MOTW (220)
Troop - GH x10, Drop Pod, Standard, Melta x2, MOTW (215)
Heavy - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x5 (140)
Heavy - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x5 (140)

Instead of a plasma pistol, you could take a chooser of the slain and maybe melta bombs. A third plasma gun is alaways nice, but the infiltrator denial may come in handy so you don't have to dedicate a drop pod to a specific unit. WIthout flamers, getting rid of cover loving infiltrators(scouts, rangers, etc) could be a bear, so denying a prime spot could help. Also could keep things away from your fangs.

I assume the priest is going for prescience and something else, so the BS boost is meh.

Just an option, the pistol is not a bad way to kill points when you already have standards and MOTW

The only thing I can think of is mixing up the Long Fangs Weapons a little. Las Cannons or Heavy Bolters actually have a place with them.

That or a Chooser of the Slain or Wolf Tooth Necklace and a Melta Bomb on the Rune priest could be a game saver.

I think this is a solid list, but the Plasma pistol is out of place.

Why not drop the plasma pistol from the GH squad (+15 points) and then upgrade a missile launcher Long Fang to a Plasma Cannon (- 10 Points)? It's a cheaper more powerful blast weapon that can take advantage of the Rune Priest, and you're certain to get a couple shots off with it on the first two or three turns. With the plasma pistol, you might get one shot before you charge into CC.

The Chooser maybe, but only if you're worried about infiltrators - the RP will use prescience instead of LL correct?

The WTN is a waste of 10 points. If your RP ever gets into close combat with someone that he doesn't already hit on 3's, then you've probably lost the game anyway.

Sounds simple enough. I'm not too worried about infiltrators, so I'll probably take the Lascannons advice. I do like CotS, but as was mentioned earlier, this RP is just gonna sit in cover with a pack of Long Fangs and take a couple rolls on the Divination chart, using prescience anyhow. Coming from IG, I've got the "if it's worth taking one, it's worth taking 3 mentality" so I'll have to fit not one, but 2 Lascannons in here, I think. With the RP, having 2 essentially twin-linked lascannons is pretty nice actually. In larger games, that's always how I run my Long Fangs now. Missile Spam really isn't what it was in 5th. On a side note, i you've never run Logan Grimnar, to make a relentless Long Fang pack with 5 Plasma Cannons, you're missing out. It's so funny. I run that as my silly deathstar HQ in my Logan Wing Drop Pod list. Awesomeness. Sorry for getting off topic. Here's the new list.

Space Wolves - 1000 point (revised)

HQ - Rune Priest (100)
Troop - GH x10, Drop Pod, Standard, Plasma Gun x2(205)
Troop - GH x10, Drop Pod, Standard, Plasma Gun x2, MOTW (220)
Troop - GH x10, Drop Pod, Standard, Melta x2, MOTW (215)
Heavy - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x3, Lascannon x2 (170)
Heavy - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x5 (140)

your list is 50 points above 1000. I plan to play the exact same list but in 1000 points you get

runepriest 100

2 x 10 GH ( 2 plasma, standard, MOTW, DropPod) 440

1x10 GH, (2 melta, standard, MOTW, DropPod) 215

2 x 5 LF (5 ML, 1LC) 245

1000 points exactly In your list you use a second lascannon instead of the MOTW in the first GH squad but you also have 2 more longfangs with ML (50 points more)

Tbh if you can swap out all off your plas guns for meltas, im a big melta fan.... they are cheeper and better in my eyes, and as your. hunters wont be foot slogging the lack of range (on the melta) shouldent be a problem...... and you will save yourself some points.
