TACTICS

Wolf lord or Harald join one TWC unit and both TWC units charge forward. Melta wolfguard go for first blood popping transports giving targets for TWC to charge on, or hit
heavy armor targets and MCs. The plasma GHs hit heavy infantry or MCs. The longfangs hit transports , MCs, heavy infantry.

The difference between the 2 lists is that i trade the 2+ armor save, reroll to hit in cc and krakenbone sword, for harald
and the spare points turn the 5man plasma GH squad to 5 man long fangs with 4 lascannons.

With longfangs i can shoot heavy infantry, MCs or more transports (better than 5xman plasma GHs) providing more targets for the TWC. Also because i have two units of TWC, longfangs wont draw so much firepower due to TWC threat, so hopefully they wont die first turn and i can also use their empty pod for line breaker.

Which list is better ?Is it worth it to trade the beatstick wolf lord for Harald in order to change a 5xman plasma/combi-plasma GH squad to 5xLF with 4xLC.That is the question
Thnx in advance
