This is for a local tournament this coming weekend. The top armies there are usually a Tau and an Imperial Knights lists. I haven't played with Wolves in the new codex, so I'm not really sure how to go. I need to drop 30 points right now, and I'm thinking it'll come from the Long Fangs or the Wolf Guard.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I think you can afford to drop the points off the wolf guard, 10 melta shots is a bit overkill in my opinion, but the long fangs need bodies and weapons so don't drop anything from them.

I take it your plan with the rune priest is to prescience the ling fangs?

The problem I can see with this list is serious lack of anti-air, which in an 1850pt game can screw you

Also, consider putting another grey hunter squad in a drop pod so you can drop two on T1 rather than 1 (or am I missing something?)

in my oppinion, from playing against cheeze armies like tau and eldar, their is no such thing as over kill, chances are they are gana bring 3 wraith knights and w.e. else cheese they can bring, but ur probably going to want ur long fangs to have sky fire, also if possible, i would bring sets of 5 hunters so you can pop shots at more stuff. as for dropping 30 points, maybe the multi melta but thats prob only a few points..heck id even try to drop a bunch of stuff to take a gunship. like i said chances are every one is going to cheeze on u.

I took some of the advice. Thank you.

The real cheesy armies aren't too popular in my area and flyers are pretty scarce, but I did add some flak missiles.

I only own two drop pods, but I hope to borrow one for
this game.

im diggin ur new build ill post mine on here if you dont mind seeing how im playing the wolves, or you can look at my posts, but i hate that chain swords costs 2 points when they have the same stats as bare hands " ccw " but maybe you should trade the guy with the power fist and pistol to power fist and storm sheild and leave the guy with ss and pistol with just the chain sword. because ur going to want the power fist in the game at all costs. i would almost even suggest dropping a set of 5 grey hunters in turn to take plasma pistols on the cavalry or even all ss and power first if it fits. personal comment, i hate that thunder hammers cost 30 points because cavalry looks soooo much cooler wielding a hammer lol...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
sucks its only an 1850 game, with the addition of ships to space wolves we rly have to give up alot to take one unless ur playin 2k points.

I would suggest dropping a squad of GH to put another in a storm wolf/fang idr which is which


We auto bring in one thing from reserves a turn if we are CAD

look into thinning your TWC for more special weapons and relics for the Wolf lord.

Wulfen stone is friggin amazing with TWC combined. maybe some power lances/frost weapons


the melta GH squad is confusing. Are they tank hunters or CC machines? With no PF they cant CC armor and firing two melta guns into a tank is cool, but then you are stuck not charging whatever else is close.
why not take double flamer and invest in a plasma pistol


having the two pods isn't bad. It keeps you reserved to react to the field better/ drop the WG suicide melta squad in and let em wreak havoc. Then auto in your ship and try to roll in the other pod and deal with threats accordingly.

hey where does it say you can bring in something for free? i use all space wolves and only thing ive seen was that half my drop pods can come in turn one. it would be a game changer if i could also bring in my flyer guarinteed, please explain or point me to a page! i alwase have to fight over powered stuff and need a win like this lol.

- I would skip one of the Wolf guards (making the unit 5 man strong, and take CCWs instead of Bolt pistols).

- I would also skip the Wolf standard in the GH melta unit, I just think the standard is overcosted and very tricky to use optimally. Maybe switch the meltaguns to flamers to save some points and make it into a more CC focussed unit.

- Remove the Flakk missile Long fang

All in all that should get you ~140-150 pts. Use these to get:
+ ADL with Quadgun for the LFs+Rune priest to hide behind (one unit in a box, or 2 behind a long line), let the RP man the Quadgun.
+ Get the Helm of Durfast for the RP (ignores cover on the Quadgun! Bye bye flyers.)
+ Get 1 plasmagun each for the GH units in Razorbacks if possible.
