(bear with me my mind is a little jumbled, I will be all over the place)

So the one of the many tactics I run with this set up (which changes, but this is the most common one)

I plop the WP in the 10 man squad of GH (morkai Pack) without a transport and outflank/scout them in with the Saga of the hunter (and usually just pick their Preffered enemy based on what looks the nastiest on the table) and allow them to pop in and look threatening and benefit from +1 to all armor saves.
while the armor rolls up as far as it can, blasting holes in what ever gets too close while being covered by the Long Fangs from the back of the board, and Wolf scouts (hopefully) in some higher ground.

I put my Rune Priest with my other Termies, and allow them to move together, abusing JOTWL and Arjac's Foehammer abilities when they burst from the land raider, then using his saga to boost his CC prowess and try to Force weapon things to death. Also because LL is an assault style, I try to pop off as many shots into the faces of what ever is about to be charged as I can.

GH are super shooty in this build, with scout snipers popping off rounds into anything that moves towards my lines, as well as covering advancing units
The other scouts are a diversion tactic, and if anything happens to get in CC I melta bomb it, and if they get ignored they move in and melta bomb stuff anyway.

The skyclaws are suicide packs, dropping in to draw fire for a turn, and if they manage to live they fire devistatingly cheap weapons into what ever is close, before using their assault packs to assault and gain additional attacks.

I usually move my predator to mid field while and have it pour rounds into anything it can, accuracy through volume

and Lone Wolf does what Lone Wolves do best, he gets ignored till he is too close and then causes alot of havok and dies gloriously while running into what ever the biggest thing on the table is (and with WC) re rolling both hits and wounds (if what ever he is hitting is T5+)



Let me know what you think guys, I am very interested in your opinions.

I am not sure why you bought a power weapon for your wolf priest, as they can't even take one. Hunter saga is nice, but the wolf tooth necklace is meh as they have pretty average statlines for melee. Anything you need the necklace against is something your priest has no business fighting. Another concern is the storm bolter, which replaces the bolt pistol meaning you lose an attack in CC. Just take the saga, and maybe runic armor. You could also take a wolf tail talisman, it is fairly cheap for the psychic defense you gain. Melta bombs are also ok to dump spare points.

Your rune priest is really expensive for what you get. I suppose saga of the beastslayer is good for the points, but probably not needed. Again, same with the necklace. Most things the saga and the necklace help against will massacre your priest outright. Also, why bother with master of runes when you have 2 shooting powers? Are you dead set on casting living lightning and then activating your force weapon on the charge? Drop this unless you absolutely need to cast 2 powers a turn, which is rare that you need to do so. Again, melta bombs are decent for the points.

Grey hunters look good. Consider mark of the wulfen for all of them. A power fist that can't be challenged out is nice, but it is expensive for 1 attack base. There is no reason not to take a second plasma gun on your outflanking GH squad(its free!) At 2500 you really need another scoring unit, maybe 2 more scoring units.

For 5 points more, you could have the same loadout on your lone wolf, but get terminator armor instead! Since you have spare points, I see no reason not to.

Sniper scouts are OK, but melta bombs for a whole squad are really expensive. Consider just a single melta gun for tank hunting, and use other units for AT. Not sure why you want bolter scouts when you can get scoring grey hunters for less. Krak grenades can take out most tanks with ease most of the time, and outflanking/infiltrating some boltguns and melta bombs wont do much of anything.

WG pack looks pretty good. Thunderhammers are usually just overkilling powerfists, and chainfists are also a bit much.

Skyclaws can't be run in squads smaller than 5, and cant even shoot unless they have an IC, so drop these for something else.

With long fangs try not to mix weapons. Heavy bolter's, lascannons, missiles and even plasma cannons are ok, but try not to mix roles. The squad leader does not need a gun, and will probably just die before it comes into range anyways.

I thought I had to give my LF squad leader an upgrade, I just took something to help out, its been a bit, but I also thought my Skyclaws could run from 3-10 per pack.

The LL is for really for his assault turn, and again, I will have to look but I was positive that the WP rocked a power weapon.

The beast slayer saga on the RP makes him a bit stronger with every charge along side the hunters, Im thinking about adding a new GH squad and nixing the scout snipers, I never have any luck with that group. However, when I do get lucky it is lucky!
I think the lack of the extra PG was a typing error, I have them all built up with 2 PG per squad.

The melta scouts, the way the codex words it makes it sound like if I am going to take melta bombs on em I have to take 5
