This is an assault oriented list, charging down field with the three land raiders filled with the blood claws and a wolf priest leading each squad. With the extra attacks on the charge and the wolf priest giving them preferred enemy they will hopefully shred through most opponents (dice willing). two squads of grey hunters sitting backfield to hold any objectives in my deployment as well as help keep my long fangs safe. The long fangs do what they do sending heavy fire down field focusing on vehicles and MC.
So i've got a little room to make some changes to the list. odds are im going up against necrons, BA and tau. so i'm hoping this list is well rounded enough to deal with them. any C&C appreciated.

How are you getting 5 heavy support choices? Is it supposed to be two FOC? Also, you should specify that the Land Raiders are Crusaders because that is the only variant with enough room for 16 models.
Honestly, I don't think this is a competitive list. Especially against Necrons and Tau. It's cute, but not competitive.
Necrons will glance you to death with their guass blasters. Your land raiders will get shredded. They could easily kill all three land raiders in 2 turns with the right list. Also, if they're playing with lots of flyers, you're going to have trouble.
Tau have plenty of fusion blasters to melt your LR's and they have lots of Fire Warriors to overwatch your Blood Claws.

Go for spartans (12 tl lascannon shots - yes please) with ceremite plating and hope necron players don't challenge you. In all honesty there are a very many lists that would struggle against multiple av14, especially if it is immune to melta.
Also - how is the dread getting there without a pod?

In addition, the Long Fangs should be listed as either a 6 man squad for 170 points or a 5 man squad with 1 less weapon, as you need to take a Sargent. Also, the lone Dreadnought seems out of place, with all of the LRC's and Power Fists across the list, I would imagine you have your Assault Cannon and Power Fist quota's filled, so I don't really get what role he's supposed to fill.
It also kinda sucks losing the bolt pistols from the other two Wolf Priests, I'd honestly rather have the extra attacks on the charge and give em Meltabombs or WTT's in order to differentiate them for the Leaders of the Pack rule. A Rune Priest wouldn't hurt either, and like Gurgknuckle said, some flyer defense would probably help.

I would agree with this at 1750 points or even maybe 2000 points. But not in a 2500 point battle with two force org charts. He has 5 troop units in two FOC.
Eldar have D-cannons, D-scythes, bright lances and haywire.
D Eldar have lances too.
Necrons have guass glancers on their cheapest troops
Tau have fusion blasters, Railguns and flyers
Marines have melta all over the place
IG have artillery and melta.
So while you're correct that a lot of armies can't deal with multiple AV14, I counter that it is MUCH easier for them to build a list that CAN deal with AV14 without purchasing a single extra mini. You on the other hand will be stuck with $225 worth of Land Raiders that your opponent knows you want to play with. You might win a couple of games at your FLGS, but then your friends will catch on and your land raiders will be useless.
No...If you know you're going against Necrons AND Tau, you shouldn't be rocking 750 points worth of vehicles - especially when their loaded with Blood Claws that will never see close combat.

Good point at the 2.5k issue actually. Yeh lists at that value could have av14 covered easily.

definitely not a competitive list more just fun. I was using dual FOC. I forgot about necrons glancing everything on sixes. As for the wolf priests that sounds like a much better idea i was just trying to go for the cheapest way to differentiate them. also thanks for pointing out the long fangs i missed that somehow. Probably gonna do a little tinkering maybe drop the point value down and give the list a try on my buddy this weekend.
