Long Fangs (Long Fang Ancient, 4 Long Fangs with Missile Launchers, Long Fang with Lascannon) - 170

= 1485

The Wolf Lord and Wolf Guard Battle Leader can be attached to the Iron Priest’s unit or the Thunderwolf Cavalry, with the loadout on each they could be used for effective split charges. Both are beasts in any challenges they might run into.

The Iron Priests act as mini assault units with cyberwolves as ablative wounds, with the amount of str 9/10 (depending on rules interpretation, i’m fine with either) you cannot just ignore the unit.

The Thunderwolves form the backbone of the assault and combined can handle most of what they can come up against. I have the Power Fists marked on the Pack Leaders but I could easily use a different model for the Leader and keep the fist hidden for assault. The extra melta bombs are there because I was short on points and it allows for the str 5 wolves to hurt av 14.

The Long Fangs sit on objectives and pop open transports so the contents can be assaulted.

Any Thoughts on the List and the list 15 points?

Kind of underwhelming how much you have here for just 1500 points. The CotGW detachment only requires 1 HQ, since your TWC in this detachment already have a WS of 5 I would drop the WGBL and add more TWC. Consider 4 man squads x2 SS and x2 power fists on separate models. Melta bombs also aren't necessary, your power fist is already str 10 (yes their base stat is str 5 and power fist is x2 str) and that's 5 attacks on the charge. Don't also forget they all get hammer of wrath too so having an extra man in there is worth while. Consider these units also your tank busters and don't even worry about long fangs. You do need some anti air tho so drop both of these squads, add in a flyer (I prefer the Stormwolf with the sky hammer missles) and add in a third TWC squad. Your iron priest can also target tanks with his TH

Personally I think that this style list works best with only one unit of TWC, maxed out on stormshields, and less HQs and more iron priests. Then you make one huge Deathstar (as the iron priests and everything else can join the TWC). Use the cyberwolves as ablative wounds and get everything across the tank before splitting everything off and charging.

Its a little better maybe with allied SM on bike or Celestine for added USRs to the blob (hit and run and scout are the two main ones) but at this points level still top tier without (IMHO)
