Yeah, it's kind of a net list, but hey, it's still a nice list.

Rune Priest
w/ Chooser of the Slain, LL, and MH

2X Grey Hunters x10
w/ Rhinos, 2X Melta Guns, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen

Long Fangs x5 + Squad Leader
w/ 5X Missile Launchers

Land Speeder Tornado
w/ Heavy Flamer and Multimelta

My roommate plays Chaos Marines (all from dark vengance), and my fiance plays Sisters, so 750 is our typical points size.
I typically stick the priest with the fangs and shoot living lighting for a bunch of high strength shots, while speeder wrecks small cultist hoards and hellbrutes. The Grey Hunters grab objectives, but they don't hold out so well against mark of nurgle marines so well, so I'm thinking about dropping the MotW and giving the squad a power axe.

hmm...

I haven't seen anyone run the Landspeeder in a while. Not sure. The rest of it looks great though.

2500 pts

Land Speeders are quite fun actually. A tad bit of a suicide unit though. They add a very mobile aspect to a space wolves army if they start on the board. Scoot and shoot baby!

That's what I was thinking. What I should have said is that I have seen anyone use Land Speeders effectively in sixth edition. In fifth edition they were great for alpha striking enemy armor with multi-meltas and then running around harrassing troops with the heavy flamers. They could also contest objectives in 5th Ed which they (mostly) cannot do in 6th Ed. That was a huge bonus, because you could hang out in reserve then flat out onto an objective held by enemy troops on the last turn. This doesn't work any more.

So for this list - specifically at this point level - I'm not sure the Land Speeder is the optimal use of points. I'm sure it's fun. But if your opponent doesn't bring any armor - and he might not at 750 points - I don't see how this guy will pay for himself. You may get one shot with the flamer but then you'll go down to bolter fire.

My advice would be to take something else, but that's just me. If it were my list, I'd take this instead;
Spoiler:

Rune Priest + LL, and MH (100)

10 Grey Hunters + Rhino, 2X Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen (220)

10 Grey Hunters + Rhino, 2X Melta Guns, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen (215)

5 Long Fangs + 4 Missile Launchers (115)

5 Long Fangs + 4 Heavy Bolters (95 points)

Total = 750

Looks like a good list. Bring it up to 1000 points for a doubles tourney
