the tactic is to charge and maim as quickly as possible with the TWC along with a squad of grey hunters probably the melta one in the land raider. dropping my suicide dread into the enemies flank hopefully taking out a few models with him and distracting the fire from my advancing troops. the long fangs do what they do best sit back and pour fire down field. Sky claws ive had good results in past games deep striking them onto the field where i feel they can help best. the five man squads of grey hunters are to sit back and hold any objectives near my deployment and protect my long fangs, the rest of em are foot slogging around to objectives or enemies.

Im not totally shure about my wolf lords weapon set up i figure since he gets rending, +1 str and atk from his wolf mount extra points for a lower initiative isnt worth it. plus i feel this way he still has some range as well as 2+/3+ saves.

Im of two minds with my rune priest. to leave him with my long fangs and just living lighting all around and tempest wraith or have him hop in the land raider with a squad so i can use JotWW or even getting a rhino and sticking him with in it with a five man squad since i have a few points to mess around with.

Im loving my wolf priests set up hes been very successful so far in my games. so im quite pleased with that set-up.

So overall i feel like this is a nicely balanced army list i haven't had a chance to field it yet. so any input or advice would be appreciated. i might do a little tweaking since i have 65 pts extra to throw around might throw in some banners or MotW with my grey hunters.

The wolf lord can toss the combi melta. The wolves will be charging, not shooting. Just cause you take a special CCW does not mean you have to use it. A thunder hammer covers your bases, but if you want to hit fast, use the standard attacks. If you take a thunder hammer you can drop the melta bombs, as multiple S10+D6 is more reliable than S8+2D6 against even Av14.

You can only use 1 shooting attack per turn, so master of runes is not really worth it. Tempest's wrath is situational. Most people take BRB powers, in which case the master of runes upgrade may be worth it.

A chainfist might be overkill, consider a thunder hammer or normal fist. Also, always give the WG leading grey hunters a combi weapon that reflects what the hunters carry. Give your 10 man GH squads wolf standards and maybe a mark of the wulfen.

Might want to combine the last 2 5 man squads. Consider a rhino or drop pod to clear off objectives. Could also run them as 2 squads of 5 in pods.

The deathwind missile launcher is meh, and I am not sure if a dread can take a HF, melta and TL autocannon. Decent drop in suicide unit, but not much else.

Put a multi melta on top of the crusader, maybe a second stormbolter for weapon destroyed insurance/dakka.

Skyclaws are meh at shooting, so consider leaving the melta gun at home. You could take two, to have 4 melta shots from the squad. Either double down or run them naked. A fist is okay due to the extra attacks and the wolf priest to make them less suck. Their wolf guard can toss the melta bombs. Krak grenades are sufficient short of land raiders and Av13 dreads.

Get more thunderwolves with storm shields. You could again, lose the melta bombs for upgrades elsewhere.
