Hi! I'll be playing a friendly match this weekend with one of my usual opponents who wants to try out his Space Wolves for the first time and I was wondering what I could do to tweak my list since I'm aiming for an overall Nurgle theme [and don't have enough Thousand Sons to make a themed list for them], I also don't own a Heldrake and won't proxy one in.

Lord goes with Cultists?
That looks like quite a bit of fun to play, and from my experience should do alright as long as he doesn't bring flying shoeboxes or Land Raiders.
Your opponent is ok with you going the 7pts over, yeah? If not, ditch two cultists and you're rocking.

Plagues will do well if he brings wolves or anything, Vets is nice for the CC buff as long as you make sure to get them there.

It looks to me kind of like you're running an ish-gunline that's comfortable getting hit in the face and hitting back, with the cultists screening out front.
GLHF!

Thank you, that's what I was aiming for!

And yes, the cultists are meant as a meatshield screen - I'd have given them autoguns if I had the points to spare.

I was actually also VERY tempted to run the helcult formation for this, but I wasn't sure if that'd be too cheesy for his first game using his Wolves. Though also let me clarify he's been playing for years with Orks, so he's not a newbie either.
