Hello, i am attending a local tournament with the following list, all C&C is wellcome:

Company of the great wolf detachment

HQ

190 WolfGuard Battle Leader (thunderwolf, storm shield, krakenbone sword, fellclaws teeth, runic armour) (warlord)


ELITES

105 Ironpriest (thunderwolf)

152 4xWG terminators (2x Combi-plasma/stormshield, 2x Combi-plasma/power axe)


FAST ATTACK

245 4xThunderwolves (3xStormshield, 1xstormshield/Powerfist)

245 4xThunderwolves (3xStormshield, 1xstormshield/Powerfist)

.3.5. Empty Drop Pod (for terminators)


Spacewolves CAD

HQ

95 Runepriest (lvl2, Combi-plasma) (divination or biomancy)

TROOPS

215 10xGH (2xmelta,combi-melta,Drop Pod)

215 10xGH (2xmelta,combi-melta,Drop Pod)


Battle leader joins one thunderwolf squad and the iron priest the other for 2+ tanking. My 2 pods alpha strike depending on my opponets list (2 melta pods when i face meny vehicles, 1 melta, one plasma for heavy infantry, MCs). Runepriest joins the terminators and is taking either divination for plasma rerolls or biomancy. My grey hunters have objective secure.
Thunderwolves support pods and the third pod comes the folloing turn for support. Thoughts??

Solid list. You can also just use the 3rd Pod as an empty weapons platform... Having it there still allows the 2-Pod Alpha Strike, and your Terminators can Deep Strike in a different place from the Pod (not necessarily hugely helpful, but still a possibility). With a Locator Beacon in one of the GH Pods, you can bring them in to shoot up whatever's about to be engaged by the GH unit, too, or shoot up a unit that your opponent has moved in after that GH unit in the opponent turn between the GH's entry and the WGT's entry.

You definitely don't need 4 Storm Shields on your TWC unit... Since your Pack Leader is a Character and you're adding ICs to each unit, you can lose at least one SS from each unit, and Look Out, Sir! and model placement will be enough for Invulnerable saves. If you're just whittled down out of volume of fire, then the extra Invulnerable saves won't help anyway. That extra 30 points gets you a Locator Beacon for one Pod, a Cyberwolf for your Iron Priest, one Melta Bomb for one unit, and then allows either a Bolt Pistol or a CCW for 2 TWC, giving you extra attacks with each of those two models. (plus the extra attacks from the Cyberwolf, it's wound, and its ability to both give and receive Look Out, Sir! And, given the CotGW rules, you can even make or accept your required challenges with the Cyberwolf, if you want). In general, though, there's always a better use for points and weapons options in a TWC unit that putting Storm Shields on all of them. 2 SS for every 3 models or so is going to be as safe as 3/3. If you're feeling bold, you can even go 1 SS for every 2 models.
