Hi all,

I have a list I'd like to run I was wondering if anybody has any input. I like going with max troops to cover objectives, and 98 power armored models are difficult to deal with. I call it "A Hundred Ways to DIe"

Here's my list.

HQ
Wolf Priest, Runic Armor, melta bombs, wolf tooth necklace. (Goes with Blood Claws)
Wolf Priest, Runic Armor, wolf tooth necklace, saga of the hunter. (Outflanks with Blood Claws)
Rune Priest (goes with Long Fangs) Prescience and other divination
Rune Priest (goes with Long Fangs) Prescience and other divination

Elite
Wolf Scouts x5, Plasma gun, 2x plasma pistol, bolters (outflank Behind enemy lines)
Lone Wolf, termi, powerfist, wolf claw

Troops
Blood Claws x15, flamer x2
Blood Claws x 15, flamer x2
Grey Hunters x10, MOTW, Plasma gun x2,Powerfist Rhino
Grey Hunters x10, MOTW, Plasma gun x2,Powerfist Rhino
Grey Hunters x10, MOTW, Melta x2, powerfist, drop pod
Grey Hunters x10, MOTW, Melta x2, powerfist, drop pod

Fast Attack
None

Heavy Support
Long Fangsx6, 3x missile luanchers, 2x lazcannons
Long Fangsx6, 3x missile luanchers, 2x lazcannons
Long Fangsx6, Heavy Bolters

So, what do you think?

I´d take an odd number with your drop pods. With 2 you will just feed them to the enemy piece by piece.
And your Rune Priestscan´t take the same equipment.
Other then that i really like what I see.

As far as Rune Priests go I thought I was ok as long as they had different psychic powers.

I kind of like dropping that lone pod in the front as a distraction unit, it helps give my Bloodclaws time to run up the board. but I do hear what you are saying, that unit will definitely get eaten by fire. Unfortunately for them I am a ruthless General who cares not for the lives of my troops.

Right, this isn't quite FULL infantry (it has one whirlwind...).

Njal - Terminator Armour - 270
Rune Priest - Divination, Force Axe - 100
Wolf Priest - Saga of the Hunter - 110

This is one unit - 5 WG Terminators - 5 Combi-Plasma/Melta, 5 Powerfist, Cyclone Missile Launcher - 265 (Split amongst GH squads, Arjac goes with Wolf Priest in one squad, Cyclone with the large squad of LF's)
1 WG - Upgrade to Arjac Rockfist - 298

5 Wolf Scouts - Melta Gun - 85 ((These outflank, Melta a tank, and hopefully survive to suicide charge them with krak grenades)

5 Wolf Scouts - Melta Gun - 85 (These outflank, Melta a tank, and hopefully survive to suicide charge them with krak grenades)

10 Grey Hunters - 2 Melta Guns, Wolf Standard, MOTW - 180 (These get Arjac as their WG squad leader, and then get the Wolf Priest attached to outflank, very nasty unit for assaults AND rear-shooting tanks etc, arjac has a thunderhammer he can throw 6" at STR 10 AP 1...with WS 5...and a 3+ invuln...)

10 Greyhunters - 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, MOTW - 185 (Njal, WG Term)

10 Greyhunters - 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, MOTW - 185 (WG Term)

10 Greyhunters - 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, MOTW - 185 (WG Term)

10 Greyhunters - 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, MOTW - 185 (WG Term)

6 Longfangs - 5 Missile Launchers - 140 (Rune Priest with Divination, WG Term with Cyclone Missile Launcher - 7 TL Krak Missiles....)

5 Longfangs - 4 Missile Launchers - 115

5 Longfangs - 4 Missile Launchers - 115 (For another 8 krak missiles...).

Whirlwind - 85

TOTAL = 2498

I've been running this near-completely footslogging list at the 2500 pts level, and it's effective. You outflank with 2 tank destroying units and a nasty TD & assault unit, have massive amounts of cover fire from behind, loads of bodies and plasma/bolter in the midfield, and Njal is an epic character in 6th. Plus your GH are nasty assault units in their own right with Wolf Standard, MOTW, and a PF armed Termie with them . The Whirlwind gives you some pie ability against low save blobs, and is a distraction if your LF's get deepstrike-d.
