In ur base, killin ur d00dz

I like it, the only problems I see are in regards to my own personal choices and how I play.

For how many points you're sinking into the Wolf Lord I don't think it's worth it when you already have Coteaz on the board as well. For how much the Wolf Lord is costing you, I'd grab two Rune Priests instead. Then I'd drop both Predators get two squads of four ML Long Fangs with sergeant and use the remaining points on a sixth TWC, then split the TWC into two groups of three to divide your opponent's fire. You have enough big stuff with the Dreadknight, Imperial Knight and Grey Knight unit.

This way you have big scary robots, two units of monstrously terrifying TWC bearing down from opposite ends of the field and thirteen ML Long Fangs in the back that can Fire Control. If you have leftover points grab some Heavy bolter razorbacks to pour shots into any oncoming Gaunt hordes.

The only other thing are the tl plas/las on your razorbacks. If you're manoeuvring them around the field you can only fire one weapon anyway so I would say go with the tl Lascannon so you're more likely to take down the big creatures.

Any spare points after this throw another shield and some weapons on the TWC. Personally if my opponent sat down with all that on the other end and I had to run all my nids into range, I wouldn't be feeling too great.

In terms of fun, your army looks really good and if that works for you then more power to you. Like I said, it all boils down to personal choice for me and I'd rather have more firepower spread around in a bunch of little things as opposed to big things that are going to draw attention.

looks pretty good... i would drop the preditors of more long fangs, they are more cost effective and you can split fire
I'd also look at tossing in some wolf guard to lead the greys (combi/power weapon)
