My thoughts are to put the Iron Priest with a unit of Thunderwolf Calvary alongside the helm of durfast priest. have the other 3 Rune Priests join blood claw units and one other of the priests join a unit of wulfen. Any thoughts would help

It looks fun, are the blood claws walking? I run something similar but with less rune priest and instead of blood claws i have 5 man grey hunters and some long fangs with flakk missiles. Overall solid list

Small suggestion but never take frost axes if you use storm shields. They cost almost as much as a powerfist and you're not using the non-specialist weapon due to the storm shield.

I'd drop back your Blood Claw Squads to five or six and invest in a couple of Rhinos or Drop Pods, maybe one of each. Flamers are short range weapons and Bolt Pistol range isn't much better so you want to get them in your opponent's face as soon as possible.

Thunderwolf Cavalry should have Bolt Pistols and Storm Shields.
As great as Chainswords and Storm Shields look there is no reason to take a Chainsword over a Bolt Pistol, both are melee weapons with no modifiers or AP value, only the Bolt Pistol can shoot.

I'd also suggest ditching the Frost Axe for a Power Maul. Might not have the great AP but it will still hit at S7 normally and S8 on the charge if you can get Furious Charge from the Wulfen.

I'm liking this list.

Wolf Claws are amazing when combined with the TWMount perks. I'd go Wolf Claw and Pistol on the non Characters, if you really want it a TH and SS for the Pack Leaders, but I personally just stick to Wolf Claws and let my Iron Priest bring TH's.

If you were to drop the fourth Rune Priest, and go with some of the concepts spoken of about your BC's, then perhaos you can free up points enough for a 2nd Iron Priest for the other TWC unit, which adds this awesome model and his Cyberwolves to keep your squads amazing. Pistols can be wolfenized to look great too, and let you spam dice. Pistols + HoW + Attacks really adds up!

I would run some on foot, some in transport. Let those on foot stay back field. As to whether or not to push GH's forwards or the BC's, and keep the others backfield for objectives, would really depend on your personal playstyle. thinking on it, your BC's are cheap wounds who if back field would run up on squads thatve deep striked or outflanked behind your lines, and flamers are the only way to ensure they do their job in shooting - and the GH's are excellent at rapid fire range within a rhino.


I'm quite curious of how your wulfen do on foot. I personally drop them in, into cover, to create a threat bubble and ensure they're in CC by turn 2.

Please let us know how it went, ty!

Hey everyone, just got back from the game. Rolled incredibly lucky.

Had my Pykers all roll on Divination just for prescience. Turn one, curse of the Wulfen rolled a 6 and had all my Thunderwolf Calvary move twice. so 24 inches up the bored. Wyrdstorm brotherhood was amazing.

Fought Ravenwing, so ignores cover and re-rolling to hit with 6d6 str 7 shots. Player conceded end of turn three. It took, 27 Grav shots and 15 plasma shots to destroy one entire unit of Wulfen. I love the Wulfen but I want to try and create lists that don't have them.

I did change it up. I put one Rune Priest with each Wulfen Squad. basically giving them re-rolling all To Hit in close combat.

His Ravenwing did entirely outflank on one side of the board, personally I thought that was a mistake. I have never outflanked before. Thinking about it soon for the Deathwolves Detachment.

Anyway, thanks for all the comments. I want to make more lists later. Thanks again. Happy Gaming!!!

Wow, that's gotta be scary.
Thunderwolves making the twenty four inch movement and three hoards of Blood Claws moving like Thunderwolf Cavalry.
Congrats on the win spaceviking22!

@MekLeN
I run the Wulfen on foot and they always make CC by turn 2, admittedly, I also usually run them in the Wolf Claw detachment so if I can get the first turn I'm usually Counter Charging at least one unit of them in on my opponent's first turn.

edit - I just realised I pulled a porky and in my last game merged bounding lope with bestial swiftness...

Looks like I'm going to have to see about putting a Land Raider on the field.
