Hey friends!!! I tossed this list together for fun. I was just trying to make a competitive list that had a terminator armor clad Wolf Guard leading every single unit. So without further ado, here it is.

Headquarters - 110 points
Rune Priest, chooser of the slain

Troops - 1040 points
Grey Hunters x10, plasma gun x2, wolf standard, wolf guard, terminator armor, combo-plasma
Grey Hunters x10, plasma gun x2, wolf standard, wolf guard, terminator armor, combo-plasma
Grey Hunters x10, plasma gun x2, wolf standard, wolf guard, terminator armor, combo-plasma
Grey Hunters x8, melta gun, wolf standard, wolf guard, terminator armor, combi-melta, drop pod
Grey Hunters x8, melta gun, wolf standard, wolf guard, terminator armor, combi-melta, drop pod

Heavy Support - 554 points
Long Fangs x6, missile launcher x5, wolf guard, terminator armor, cyclone missile launcher
Long Fangs x6, missile launcher x5, wolf guard, terminator armor, cyclone missile launcher
Long Fangs x5, missile launcher x4, wolf guard, terminator armor

Elite - 296 points
Wolf Scouts x6, sniper rifle x5, missile launcher, wolf guard, terminator armor
Wolf Scouts x6, sniper rifle x5, missile launcher, wolf guard, terminator armor
Wolf Guard squad leaders x10 (listed with & points calculated with their respective squads)

The concept is pretty simple, but in feel that it could be rather competitive. My only quad is that it has an even number of drop pods. I wish I could fit another one, but just couldn't think about how I would want to drop 35 points anywhere in the list. Maybe I could remove a missile launcher toting scout or a long fang, but the missile spam and 2+ saves is really the theme of the list. I feel like this list would be really toug to outshoot, if it just walked forward and controlled the middle of the board as a gunline... Let me know what you guys think. What would be the downfall of this list? What could I do to make it more balanced. Is there a better list that uses ten wolf guard termite squad leaders out there? Beyond its novelty, could this be a good list for 6th edition. I feel like it probably could. (I know lots of people don't like the wolf scouts, but they assist in the shooting. Especially against foes like neuron, who can give me a run for my money in the 24" shooting battle. Tag ability to take people on from 36 to 48" range really makes that easier. Thanks in advance for any and all input guys!!!

What's your defense against flyers?

Aside from aegis with quad gun space wolves have nothing to combat flyers. That being said it is vey handy to have, if you can find some points to fit it in this would be a well rounded list imo if you're trying for competitive.

I rub wolf guard heavey lists, i d advice against the wolf guard squad leaders and go for drop pods, I also advice all wolf guard drop pods, you can put 10 combies in there for 50points! Or put in a heavey flamer wolf guard or assult cannon dude, personally I like the heavey flamer for 5 points,

With this list specifically I'd have the Rune Priest take Divination and go for it with rerolls while he sat with a squad of Long Fangs. That's about the best he could do but like cuss said, Space Wolves have very little to combat flyers outside of getting a quad gun.

Space wolves don't get flak?

Not yet at least.

We have to wait for the new codex to drop later this year. The only current way to decent AA is allies or a basic quad gun and aegis.

Simply terrifying. I play nid and Grey Hunters + RPriests and LFangs are the absolute bane of my existence. I fear this list, but I think the other posters are correct in that droppodded hunters can bring some serious threat. As for the flyers - after you blow away all the high T or tanks away with your S8, you can chance for some 6s against flyers. With prescience you will get the reroll, so them + quadgun should do alright. I mean, there are worse things you can have for combatting flyers.

The real trick is taking a Long Fang squad putting them behind an ADL with the Quad gun, sit a Rune Priest with Divination on the Quad gun, have him cast prescience on the nearby LF squad and put a chooser on the slain out on the highest point in the battlefield to give the RP BS5.
