im starting a space wolf army, ive played CSM a long time and i would like a force that i can pair with my brothers at doubles tornaments and im kinda fed up of being a bad guy.

what kits would be good to buy to set up such an army my general rule is secure 2 troops and a HQ any one got any ideas for an all round 500 pts list (starting small)

personally I don't enjoy 500 points alot, how much points is the doubles?

A TAC list for Space Wolves at 500? I can help!

This is the list my old man uses, it works pretty well it seems.

HQ

Rune Priest

Troops

5 Grey Hunters, Powerfist, Wolf Standard, Flamer, Razorback w/ TL Lascannons

6 Grey Hunters, Powerfist, Wolf Standard, Flamer, Razorback w/ TL Lascannons

This leaves 30 points for you to pimp your razorbacks or Rune Priest. Good amounts of dakka on the Grey Hunter squads, they're great in CC too, especially with the standard. You've got 2 TL Lascannons for anti-armor, and the Rune Priest equipped with JOTWW can wreck MCs

The Battle Force is a solid choice. Plenty of Space Wolves + Drop Pod. You'll want to splash in normal Space Marine kits though. Devastators for getting heavy weapons, even vanilla Space Marine Tactical Squad for a Missile Launcher, Flamer, and some variety in heads/armor.

As for a list, I'd keep it simple at 500 points:

Rune Priest w/ Runic Armor, Chooser of the Slain, Living Lightning, Storm Caller @ 130 pts
Grey Hunters w/ x2 Plasma + Standard + MotW @ 185pts
Grey Hunters w/ x2 Plasma + Standard + MotW @ 185pts

Comes to 500 even. You'll be fine walking, and if you need cover you can make your own in a pinch.
