This is going to be a fun list I plan to use against a friend who fields DE with Lilith as his HQ. I figured Crowe would go with the GK terminator squad in the LRC. The wolves would drop pod in on objectives. Wolf Lord would run with the TWC to hit his squads after I popped open his transports with Crowe as backup. The Assassin would be there to snipe off Lilith or other good targets. Any thoughts or suggestions to improve it?

Interesting list, I've been toying with SW/GK combos as well.

Given the drop pods, imho the LRC is slightly out of place. Given you are taking SW anyway, why not swap the LRC for purfiers in a pod? That would also give you a third pod, allowing you better flexibility as to which 2 units you wanted T1.

I play against DE all the time so I am surprised by your inclusion of the LR and your exclusion of incinerator units. The LR can drop to a squad of Witches and Haywire grenades. Considering he plays Lilith I wold expect this. As for the lack of incinerators they are our best anti DE weapon. They kill his transport and whatever is inside it at the same time. Either NDK or interceptors are great against DE because of their mobility and the incinerators.

Thank you for the insight! I'll take out the LRC and play around with points. I do have a NDK that I haven't got to play much. And thoughts on the assassin? Good fit and use? I really like him but not sure how well he runs since I never ran him before.

When playing with points after taking out my LRC I'll try to take you advice of another pod. I do like the idea of it flowing well with my other ones.
