Army Total 1497

The army feels a bit like i'm spaming the same units and as i come from 2nd ed i'm not to sure about allies etc
This coupled with taking a real spanking against a mate using Thousand suns and the damn flying roast machine I
wonder if I am missing a trick or 2.

Been setting the rune priest with Div coupled with a squad of fangs in the defence line, a wolf guard in each hunter squad to hot foot it
up the board while hugging cover, while the lone wolf legs it up the board towards a juicy target.

Any tips or advice welcomed

I would say, yes, you are spamming . The dinobot is the issue for you. You have nothing to hide in. I would recommend getting a few Rhinos or Drop Pods for your GH squads. Maybe drop a LF squad and use those points else where. Foot slogging vs a drake is a bad idea.

You can ally in a flyer to help as well. Do you have any preference on an ally?

Yeah, the hellturkey is designed to murder MEQ on foot. It is downright nasty. Metal boxes go a long way in survival, and hopefully you can lascannon/guided missiles into it and drop it.

Your rune priest can toss the necklace, as they are not stellar CC units to begin with, necklace won't change much. Consider melta bombs here.

Lone wolf can toss melta bombs as you already have a chainfist, and you want to use it over melta bombs every day of the week. Consider fenresians for ablative wounds.

Lol yep a whole tin of spam but it was a case of go with what you know.

Think pods or rhino will have to be an addition as getting to where i need with a force thats still got numbers to do anything is an issue against some armies.

The long fangs do fairly well versus most fliers but do seem to struggle on the av14 robochicken. Mind you i have blown one out of the sky in a turn of lucky rolls
(12 dice 5x 6's rolled) much to my opponents dismay.

As for allies I am open to any tbh. I do have 2 or 3 boxes of Cadians about somewhere and some vanilla marines so could get a flier to counteract opposing flier.
I know wolves dont have access to fliers in there own codex but i seem to remember seeing a post on someone using fliers from a formation (stormwing) but not
sure if thats allowed with wolves.

Ah Dr. Serling you are quite correct the necklace and melta could be got rid of leaving 18 points spare and by shaving a few hunters i could get the pods/rhino's in.

I would say your opponent maybe pulling one over on you, man! An AV14 drake?? nope. AV12/12/10.

IMHO The best flyer is the vendetta (or whatever that triple las varient is called). If you have some cadian, i would recommend going with that. His turkey will be toast.

The storm wing you can bring, but it is a big point sink.

Opps the AV14 was a typo

May have to go grab a guard codex this weekend as only have a very old one
