I have a space wolf collection and I have to say most of it isn't viable at the moment in terms of competitiveness

I have

14 thunderwolf cavalry.
20 terminators (literally every configuration imaginable)
50 space wolves (including about 20 long fangs, almost all missle launchers and heavy plasma and 10 special weapons melta plasma or flamer )

I have 3 razor backs with las canon, one triple lascanon predator, 2 vanilla land raiders and 1 dreadnought with plasma canon

how the hell do I make all this into any sort of useable army!

I am thinking about buying 2 sicarans (but they are pricey) the good news is I do have 2 iron priests unmade ready to make into TWC I know this is lame but does anyone have a good space wolf build that uses long fangs and tanks for space wolves?

Missile Fangs have to be dealt with. No one likes taking Krak to the face, even with cover saves. The Razorbacks are a good starting point for a Ironwolves list. If you took Wolf Guard, their Land Raider gets free upgrades, and you only pay base cost for the Razors, but your short two transports?

A Easy 1000 list.

IP, TWC

3x5 GH or BC, Plasma or Flamer, LasBack
1 Unit 4 TWC 2 SS, 2 PF
Thats 785-845 points Depending on GH vs BC, and Flamers vs Plasma.
From Here, you can, Drop a Razor, and get a basic unit of WGT with a Raider. (Vanilla Raiders are Gun Platforms and you have plenty of Cheaper Methods of TL-Las. 3 TL Las Razors are 225... Not AV 14 though.)
You can add a unit or two of LFs, but I would skip the plasmas, as Get's Hot and Small blasts don't do me any personal favors. With Split fire, on the MLs you can fire frags at the true horde units or Krak the tar out of MEQ, Light Armor, and anything else.

IF you have Rune Priests, might I suggest trying them instead? Trying to make this list balanced above 1500 points might be hard. A Raider and a Second group of TWC and a Second IP, maybe.

At 1850, your really going to be stretched. 2 IP are a must, and You'll want 2 x 4 units of TWC, maybe max units.
The Three units of GH w/ Plasma are my go to for the TL-Las, but I'd think you can convert them to Las Plas and get waaaaay more joy out of them. (Glue the Las and Heavy Bolter pieces together, cut and file the barrel of the HB and add the PLasma, cut at the coils to the HB section. Rough and dirty but Wysiwyg.)

Your two Rhino's short of a Iron Wolves Detachment, Or a Pair of Pods. Cheap, great way to get more points in the list and make a mess of anyone's day with an extra 6" flatout and 12"disembark. (Though the Disembark is for counter-charge users not for your average add a formation list.)

These option lack Melta. This will probably see you dead vs any solid AV 14 list. (Twin Raiders, Twin Monoliths...)

Thanks man! Great advice. I was going to maybe play it as two demi companies using the vanilla codex so the extra razorback are not a bad idea at all.

BTW. When a twin Las Plas gets hot what happens? The vehicle has no armour save.

But I digress, it felt wrong just to not use the SW formations somehow.

I agree about AV14.so I'd probably need TWC somewhere.

Gets Hot will glance you. 2 shots with rerolls, you'll be a little sad once in a while. Not like the Executioners a friend of mine had.

TWC fists will MURDER the AV14, as Melta would, but the advantage of all the attacks. The only problem is delivery, and preferred targets. You'd rather send the TWC after other targets, then the Landraider/Monolith. However, if you managed to kill everything of relevance, then wail away.

Iron Priests on Thunderwolf Mount w/ cyberwolves are incredible. Just played a game where a trio of this went as one unit, wiped out 1,000pts of dark angels bikes by themselves and still had two left after it was done.

Iron Wolves is nice, your force could fill up that nicely, using that WGBL on TWC mount to go with Iron Priests, him wielding black death for i5 ap2 challenges w/ SS.

Have them join yet even more TWC lol.

so far, thats competitive.

Also, your Terminators could do nicely in the Iron Wolves within a landraider, disembark 12"+6" then the 2d6" charge turn 1?...

As well, throw the Wyrdstorm Brotherhood in w/ Terminator armour?
