6 Grey Hunters - Plasma - Razorback - 140

Fast Attack

3 Thunderwolf Cav -(2 plain, 1 Thunder Hammer Storm shield) 210

2 Land speeders Double Multi Melta - 160

1000 points, on the nose.



The main idea of this list is to use the land speeders and the Thunderwolves together. with lots of movement each, they can go and pop a tank, 4 multimelta shots, what can it not blow up?
Then the wolves follow up and charge with fleet into whatever fell out. keeping them in combat, hopefully to jump to another combat when they break.

The idea with the troops is that they are versatile, they can go where they are needed, and should be able to survive for objectives at the end of the game. if they need to go and help somewhere they can, or if they need to go up and pick a target they can do that too. and the rune priest will go with 1 squad, and use living lightning (cos its amazing) if im up against something with low initiative, ill take jaws too.

Everything will hug cover and use BLoS. I think.....this could be the first time in my 40k career that I've managed to use 2 units together (Speeders and Wolves) and that it might actually work well.

Ok, so now its time to rip into me, let me know whats wrong with this list, and ill improve it! I know its only 1k points, but I need to get the basics right. HIT ME!

For the Rune Priest: Murderous Hurricane, and if he's your Warlord grab Runic Armor. A 2+ Save is surprisingly helpful to keep him from giving up Warlord VP.

For the Grey Hunters, give them Flamers instead IMO. In a Razorback they won't be able to use the Plasma anyways and Flamers are more useful than you'd think. Ignores Cover and Wall of Death are huge.

For the Thunderwolves, it'd be better to put the Storm Shield on a different model. They aren't Characters so its not like the TH is going to be in a Challenge. Better to take those AP 3 or better shots on someone relatively expendable IMO.

ok cool, looks like some good tips, i dont know if im up for flamers tho, but i might move that storm sheild

I played some friendly low point games, and...

The amount of S6/S7 shots in 6th is just astonishing.
Those razorback's are extremely fragile, don't count on them surviving turn 2.

Well, if you go first though or steal the initiative, your landspeeders and TWC could probably do some good.

I don't think this list is very good, razorback spam... Wat are razorbacks good for..
