Prior to the release of Curse of the Wulfen I found myself drawn to the Deathwolves fluff. Now that we have the Wolf Claw Strike Force I want to give this Legendary Greatpack a go.

The idea is to field the Fenrisian Wolves to the left and right of the board and out of sight on Turn 1, at least one Wulfen unit out of sight, the Long Fangs in a deployment zone ruin terrain feature if possible, and the Scouts Infiltrating in another safe position. Ideally these units would be situated towards the board edges in order to draw the opponent towards the board edges but that's likely wishful thinking. The second Wulfen unit may or may not start in the Stormwolf depending on terrain and board orientation. Everything else in the Deathwolves unit Outflanks.

The Stormwolf is a hefty point expenditure, but I believe it brings a useful component to the list as a whole. Its firepower is hard to ignore, its status as an assault vehicle makes the Wulfen all the more dangerous and directed against a prime target of choice such as Wraithknights or Imperial Knights, and the opponent has to deal with it in addition to everything else coming on the board from the flanks. What's more, having one Fenrisian Wolf unit within 12" of each board edge gives me great flexibility to put whatever Outflanking units I want on whatever side I choose.
