Where to start...

For 2k points you are extremely troop light, you hardly have enough troops to hold your own objectives let alone capture your opponents. Winning by contesting isn't usually the best plan when your contesting units aren't that tough.

Your terminator wolf guard bought stormshields but no power weapon of any variety? Unsure what this guy is actually supposed to be doing. A super expensive stormbolter isn't what I'd want to be investing in.

Mixing your grey hunters guns makes them unfocused. I see why you take a flamer to take a free special, but that's just making them less efficient. Only one melta usually isn't going to pop anything and a single plasma isn't worth it.

Also pretty sure MotW is mathematically better than a power weapon on a GH so I would take that instead.

TWC are expensive for T5 2 wound models with only a 3+ save and leadership 8. If they lose a model and fail their leadership test they're running half way across the board in the wrong direction.

No Long Fangs is probably the wrong choice. They're extremely point efficient for 48in range of heavy support fire. Predators suffer from having crappy side/back armor.

Wolf Tail Talisman is useless, a 1 point better deny the witch isn't worth it and you already negate psychic powers on a 4+ with the rune priest. You can only make one attempt to nullify a power per the FAQ.

Your Wolf Lord is already hitting just about everything relavant on a 3+, don't need wolftooth necklace on him really. He's likely to kill everything in one round of combat so warrior born is really awful. If you wanted a saga, take bear so a smashing MC doesn't instant death him.

You seem to be falling into the trap that most new players do, trying to deck every unit out with all the ugprades possibe. Boys before toys is an important saying to remember, as this is a game of objectives.

THIS. You can never have enough Grey Hunters. Get some more.

Absolutely correct. Generally speaking, a storm shield should replace the storm bolter and NOT the power weapon.

But to be blunt, you should DUMP ALL OF YOUR TERMINATORS from this list. You've spent 540 points on 10 models and no way to get them into the war! I can't even begin to tell how misguided this choice is. Are they close combat units? If so, why are they walking? Are they meant to be shooty units? Because Long Fangs would do a MUCH better job shooting stuff and for half the price.

Seriously. Take these units out and spend the 540 points on two units of Long Fangs and another unit of Grey Hunters.

Mixing your grey hunters guns makes them unfocused. I see why you take a flamer to take a free special, but that's just making them less efficient. Only one melta usually isn't going to pop anything and a single plasma isn't worth it. Also pretty sure MotW is mathematically better than a power weapon on a GH so I would take that instead.

Absolutely correct again. MotW is the shiznit - WAY better than a power weapon. Give each unit a wolf standard too. That's one of the best pieces of wargear around. More importantly, how are the grey hunters going to get where they're going? A Rhino at least, but better with Drop pods for EACH unit.

TWC are expensive for T5 2 wound models with only a 3+ save and leadership 8. If they lose a model and fail their leadership test they're running half way across the board in the wrong direction.
I disagree with this a little. While the 3+ save and 8 Ld is a potential problem, these units will inspire the fear of god in your opponent. However, I think the best thing to do in this case is to take one unit of 5 TWC then have your Wolf Lord join them and give them Ld 10. That will also save you some points.

Don't be disappointed if they get shot to pieces before they make it into close combat. They have 2 jobs;
1) Take wounds instead of the wolf lord and
2) take the heat off of the Grey Hunters.

For your Wolf Lord drop the Wolf Tooth Necklace, change the Thunder Hammer to a Power Fist (saves 5 points) and change the Saga of the WB to Saga of the Bear instead.

185 points for 1 rune priest is way too much. He doesn't need any of that wargeare and for 200 points you can have 2 rune priests which is much better. You should be able to find the points with all of the above changes.

Ya you can tell I am a new player and my choices for most of this was based on what has worked so far in games between my friends armys (Tau, Chaos Marines, and Dark Eldar), but shorlty after posting this we went to an event and I got destroyed. Will take in the feed back and get more guys over muscle
