Hey guys,

Moving my Spacewolves over to 30k from the start I have been building them up as either a force around the time of the route or mid 30k using the forge world bolters and kit bashing 30k armour.
I am just not sure what works in 30k and what does not.

2,000 points list:

Praetor - Paragon Blade, Archaeotech Pistol & Refractor Field
Command Squad - Power weapons, Power fists and plasma weapons
Techmarine with Conversion Beamer
Dreadnaught - Twinlinked Lascannon
2x Tactical Squads
3x Assault Tactical Squads with Rhinos - Power fists
Landraider Phobos
Sicarian Battle Tank

3,000 points is the same as above with the following added

Thunderhawk gunship - Turbolaser
Librarian
Heavy Support Squad with Missile Launchers

To me it feels like I have too many squads and not enough special stuff if you know what I mean? Is it worth dropping the two foot slogging tactical squads for maybe some Terminators? My plan would be to drop the 20 bolter marines and command squad in the Thunderhawk but then that makes the Landraider a bit redundant.

Any thoughts?

change up your praetor's loadout. Give him the iron halo (2+4++ is better ) and try out the archaeotech pistol, but I've found that it's not that useful.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking "I need all the big stuff" honestly, your list would benefit the most from adding a few 15/20-man tactical squads as opposed to trying to spam huge stuff. Look through 1d4chan's page on legion tactics. It would also help here more if you listed what was in each squad.

If your worried about low model count in the future, drop the thunderhawk: 30k is generally boys>toys, though it's not like there's any bad options to take, just build what you think is cool/fluffy. 30k wolves were all about that massed charge to go stab stuff.
