I haven't played an 1800 point game, is there a particular reason you want 6 lascannons and 3 rail rifles? Not 100% certain but would the points be better spent on plasma instead of lascannons or missile sides?

Also, what's your plan with the rune priest? Go with the grey hunters or sit back with a long fang squad?

A hard to read, but very solid list. If it were me, I'd swap out those Rail Rifles for the Missile system. Your Lascannons should be able to handle the targets those Broadsides would go for.

Very shooty My only real comment is that I'd have split up the Wolf Guard into 2 units and taken Drop Pods with both. Gives you the option to deploy them as suicide units if you needed to, and lets you drop all 30 Grey Hunters off the bat if you wanted to.

Course, then to get the points for that extra Pod I'd have swapped some Lascannons to Missile Launchers and left the Rail on the Broadsides!
