The greyhunter will be suiside I would rather give them a rhino

Several problems with giving the Hunters a Rhino in my book:

1) It would stick out like a sore thumb unless I hid it behind the Thunderwolves and I'm not to keen on that as they become Manticore Bait.

2) It gives me the ability to put the Hunters where I want them to be for the game. Whether it is a secure location or suiciding to kill something nasty.

Normaly I would also use Pods over Rhino's but you have a squad of 5 with only one melta? waste in my eyes.

Wolf Tooth Necklace is also a waste of points, bro you have WS6

Same points, one is AV 11, the other is AV 12 open topped. Really no difference.

The Rhino seems to be more of a waste as those Hunters will not be crossing the field in a tin can at 2000 points.

Make it more GH then becouse a single drop pod with 5 man in it is 2 free kp.

2 KP at 2000 points in a list with a total of 13 isn't going to be the straw that breaks the camels back here.

More important issue will be the fact that the Platoons will not be moving and I need a scoring element that can actually be across the table or make it out of my deployment zone. Also, it allows me to put an Objective in a place I know I have the best chance at getting at.

If it were me, I'd drop the 4th Infantry Squad from each Platoon (which I'm assuming ride in the Vendetta?) and take a SWS with x3 Flamers instead and use the extra 10 points to get Heavy Bolters on those Vendetta.

I also think your TWC are gonna be a little exposed. Hopefully with the new 12" move you can get in on someone quick though.

If the points could be found, I would have tried to get a Lascannon on the CCS, but I'd prefer doing what I already suggested before trying to squeeze that in.

Actually, it appears that the only reason you're taking SW's as allies at all is to have access to the Thunderwolf Cavalry Wolf Lord delivery system. You don't even want to take any Grey Hunters at all, because if you did then you would take 10 in your squad instead of just 5.

So why give them any transport at all? Why not turn that drop pod into a storm shield for your cavalry and just put the Grey Hunters with the IG blob. They can't really do anything with only 5 space marines anyway.

EDIT : Also...I agree with cowmodude. Why not drop the 4th squad from each IG platoon use the points to make your Grey Hunters a real squad.

10 x GH's + 2 x Meltaguns, Wolf Standard, MotW, Drop Pod (215 points)

Grey Hunters are the best troops in the game. With that squad, you'll still be able to put them where you want them and you'll still be able to melt faces on your drop. But now you'll also have a chance to survive long enough to assault too. Hell, your opponent will have to deal with this squad and that will buy time for your Wolf Lord to cross the no-man's-land.

I have been toying with the idea of dropping the last squad in place of both options; I'll try both out.
