Got an 1850 tournament coming up next month, been tinkering around with the list after getting the feedback from my other SW list. Take a look.
HQ
1 Rune Priest in Terminator Armour - Wolf Tail Talisman, Wolftooth Necklace (145 pts)
1 Rune Priest in Terminator Armour - Chooser of the Slain, Wolf Tail Talisman; Wolftooth Necklace (180 pts)
Elites
1 Dreadnought - Wolf Tail Talisman; Assault Cannon; Missile Launcher (120 pts)
4 Wolf Guard in Power Armour - Combi-Meltagun x4; ; Melta Bombs; Close Combat Weapon (112 pts)
1 Wolf Guard in Terminator Armour - Terminator Armour; Melta Bombs; Storm Bolter; Power Axe; Cyclone Missile Launcher (68 pts)
Troops
10 Grey Hunters - Wolf Standard; Meltagun x2; Mark of the Wulfen; Powerfist (205 pts)
10 Grey Hunters - Wolf Standard; Meltagun x2; Mark of the Wulfen; Powerfist (205 pts)
10 Grey Hunters - Wolf Standard; Meltagun x2; Mark of the Wulfen; Powerfist (205 pts)
Dedicated Transport
Drop Pod (35 pts)
Drop Pod (35 pts)
Drop Pod (35 pts)
Rhino - Dozer Blade; Extra Armour; Storm Bolter (55 pts)
Heavy Support
5 Long Fangs - 3x Missile Launcher; 2x Lascannon (175 pts)
5 Long Fangs - 3x Missile Launcher; 2x Lascannon; (175 pts)
Fortifications
1 Aegis Defence Lines (50 pts)
1 Quad-Gun (50 pts)
Taking a few ideas from guys on here, the idea is to stick one of the LF groups behind the Aegis with the Termie as leader and/or a Rune Priest with Div while the Dread hangs out in the backfield and just goes missile-happy. The WG Combi-Melta suicide squad (saying that makes me want to do up a Soroitas squad with a DC SS theme) comes in turn one in a Pod to pop any enemy armor, Rhino for mobile cover. C&C and suggestions/tactica more than welcome.

This is a little difficult to read and make sense of,
could you break up your troop and elite choices into their actual pack numbers and upgrades per pack?
I like the suicide squad, it makes for a good Alpha strike and popping hard armor quickly but if you have a gun emplacement for AA already, why not introduce some more variety to the list without ML LF
You can put one of the rune priests in with the suicide squad to help stop psyker attacks in the back field and to open up some voodoo on a warlord or pull some shenanigans and draw a ton of fire and probably survive it

Your list is a bit hard to read. Check out other lists, and see how they post. For example, I don't know which gun emplacement is on the line unless I did the math. Your GH squads are also quite strange.
Both rune priests can toss the wolf tail talisman. With a runic weapon, you have a better chance to deny anything in 24", and per the FAQ you can only get one chance to deny between the runic weapon, deny the witch and the wolf tail talisman. The wolf tooth necklaces are a bit much on a character that is generally meh at combat. Since you plan on camping back, it is unlikely they will even be in combat, so better to drop these too.
The dread should usually be close to at least 1 runic weapon, meaning you can drop the wolf tail talisman here as well. I don't think all of your wolf guard need melta bombs, but I guess you can keep them if your concerned. Drop the melta bombs from the terminator guard, as he will be back camping with the fangs, and fighting armor is a very rare probability.
The hunter squads probably don't need power fists, but they have merits if you really want them. Dropping them frees up a considerable amount of points. Since you are a bit low on scoring units, look into another GH squad. The rhino does not need extra armor as it is a 1 in 6 result, and it is more likely to just be glanced to death or blown up.
Long fangs are solid. Consider making each squad 2 lascannon and 3 missiles, using your leader to split fire. The leader probably does not need a flamer.
If you can, free up points for another hunter squad. If you can't buy a hunter squad, get a decent lone wolf, or more long fangs, or something along the lines of more boys less toys.

Sorry, edited and cleaned up. Took your suggestions, managed to trim down to 1725 pts with the same number of corpses. Not quite enough for another squad of GH or LF, but I could fully kit out a Lone Wolf in Termie armor with a Storm Shield and a Thunder Hammer.

You could get two additional Droppods for the free points.
Then you can drop 3 Greyhunter first turn. Or your Suicide Squad + 2 other Drop pods.
(Give the LF the Drops and send them empty for some LOS blocking)
And for the Rest you could get another WG for the second LF team. Or fill the WG Squad with more bodys for suicide bombing.
