Hey guys! returning to 40k and this time around I want to build a list that isn't so MIN/MAX. Those types of lists don't make it fun for my opponent (Eldar SeerStar, Draigo Wing) and usually the quit and I have no one to play with.

My goal here is to make a semi-competitive list as I plan to play it at the LHS and I know those kids are out for blood! But I also want a fun looking list with a theme AND low model count. I love the TWC and I love the Murderfang. I also would like to add some Alpha strike into the list and follow up with TWC Mop ups when the alpha is over.

This is what I have so far. Lots of points to play with and I hope you guys can help me as I'm a rookie player and brand new to 7th (haven't even played a game yet in these rules) so there will be some holes in the list below.

HQ
Harald Deathwolf, Lord of the Wolfkin (190PTS)

Elites
Iron Priest (105PTS)
-Thunderwolf

Murderfang, the Curseborn (180PTS)
-Drop Pod / Locator Beacon

Troops
4x Grey Hunters (135PTS)
-Drop Pod / Meltagun
1x Wolf Guard Pack Leader
-Combi Melta

4x Grey Hunters (135PTS)
-Drop Pod / Meltagun
1x Wolf Guard Pack Leader
-Combi Melta

Fast
8x Fenrisian Wolves (82PTS)
1x CyberWolf


4x Thunderwolf Cavalry (285PTS)
-4x SS
1xThunderwolf Cavalry Pack Leader
-Powerfist

4x Thunderwolf Cavalry (285PTS)
-4x SS
1xThunderwolf Cavalry Pack Leader
-Powerfist

TOTAL 1397


Tactics are to drop in Murderfang and maybe some other units in and cause some havoc and follow up with the TWC. Grey Hunters drop where needed to secure objectives. I feel stuck on what the next logical unit additions should be. Do I go full IN YOU FACE close combat or do I add some shooty in there too? On the fence with a few things Like the Void Claws Formation, Thunderstrike Formation, 2 Groups of Long Fangs all with Missiles, Land Raider, Storm gunship, possible second HQ?

So... few things I'm not sure of:
Fenrisian Wolves. I just kinda put these in to put them in, idea was some sort of cannon fodder screen for the TWC.
Harald . Wondering If a regular wolf lord on a wolf with some upgrades and SS would be better? I know the challenge rules with a HQ and a captain in the same unit can be taken advantage of with the Great Wolf rules. (unsure of this)

Any kind of input would be nice guys as I know you folks are the kings of this. Help me make it great

Justin

With further reading and Company of the great wolf I think I can play around with losing the grey hunters ..
