Looking for help and C&C on a dual land raider 1500 Space Wolves list.

Plan is:
Rune priest to join long fangs
Drop pod flamers to seek first blood
Grey hunters in land raider
Lone Wolf on the prowl for MC or tarpitting

Initial thoughts include change out Lone Wolf and 1 Grey Hunter squad for some Wolf Guard terminator, 1 for each squad including cyclone for long fangs.

Any input welcome.

That's definitely a counter-meta list. My primary concern is that you drive across the board, unload, squash two enemy squads into bloody paste, and then get shot off the board.

Also I would use two godhammer landraiders, as to maximize the utility of the machine spirit.

Your rune priest can't double down on deny the witch, the wolf tail and runic weapon. Since you only get 1 shot, you will always be using the runic weapon, so drop the tail. Saga of the beastslayer may be OK depending on your meta. Since your runic wepaon works against deamons on a 2+, you might not need it.

I take it the lone wolf has the mark for anti horde? I am not sure it is worth it. Another meta dependent thing.

It is easier to score first blood by taking out a vehicle than a unit, so drop one of the 2 melta units instead. Between 2 meltas and a krak grenade you should be ok. If you can see AV10, bolters help glance things down.

Personally I don't like godhammers, so I would take dual crusaders and multi meltas on each.

I think one godhammer and one crusader is the way to go, I had a serious craving for a redeemer until someone pointed out how hard it is to ever get both of the flamers off at a target.

Altered based on feedback.

Removed lone wolf and longfangs, included drop pod wolf guard to get in their face while land raiders move up.

Scouts included for board edge control and drop pod zones options.

What powers are you using for the Rune Priest? Because you can't take both codex and BRB powers.
