Hello,

This is my first time posting on the forum, so I apologize if the formatting of my list seems a bit unorthodox. I have been out of the hobby for about 3 years and am trying to get my head wrapped around the way things are now, as I haven't had a chance to play using any new mechanics.
I pulled my Space Wolf army out of its case and have put together what I think is a good starting point, I already own all of the miniatures listed below and have them painted for the most part, I am just hoping that some of you veteran players can point out some things I have missed, areas that won't work well, and how this army may fare against opponents under the new rules system.
This list brings me in at 1,321 pts. I am thinking about what I could add to strengthen the army. I have considered mounting both GH squads in Razorbacks with TL LC, Extra Armour, and HK Missiles. Thoughts?

I genuinely appreciate you taking your time to read this,

Regards,

M

I'm not a veteran by any stretch but the current meta is all about speed.
Are those the only models available to you or the direction you want to take?

Dakka Wolf,

I also have:

-A Land Raider (On sprue)
-A Dreadnought with Power Fist and Twin Linked Lascannon/ Autocannon
-5 more Wolf Guard Terminators, with sprue to equip them almost any way.
-Enough parts on sprue to built a 10 man squad of PA Wolf Guard, Grey Hunters, or Blood Claws, with any special weapons.
-3 more Swiftclaws

I played games at home casually with friends with the army about 3 years ago, so I'm not married to any units really, but the less I have to spend the happier my wife will be.

Sadly, at the moment Wolf Guard and Terminators are both terrible but since they are what you have here goes.

Company of the Great Wolf FOC
HQ
Rune Priest

Elite
Dreadnought - Get him a Drop Pod ASAP
Wolf Guard Terminators

Heavy Support
Whirlwind

Formation Detachment
Drakeslayers
1 Wolf Guard Battle Leader or Wolf Lord Krom
1-2 Long Fang units
1-2 Wolf Guard Units
2-3 Sky/Swift/Bloodclaw units
2-4 Grey Hunter or Landspeeder units

Company uses Elites as mandatories and rather than objective secured your Wolf Guard get +1 Weapon Skill.

The Drakeslayers have Monster Hunter, Stubborn and when the first unit of Drakeslayers passes their charge in each charge phase all other Drakeslayers can re-roll charges for the rest of the phase. When Wolf Lord Krom is on the battlefield all Drakeslayers have Furious Charge.
