I just played in a 500 point game with my space marines. The restrictions on units were modified to 0-1 of everything except troop which was 1-4. The restrictions will be modified each coming game by adding 1 of any single unit type to the allowances up to the amount on a standard force organization chart. The allowances include allied detatchments toward the total thus we cant take most allies until game 2. That being said i played this list:

Hq
Librarian
Lv2
Axe
Pistol
90

Troop
Tactical squad ( minimum size)
Heavy bolter

80


Tactical squad ( minimum size)
Heavy bolter

80


Centurion squad ( minimum size)
Gravcannons/ amps
Hurricane bolters
Sgt with omniscope

250

Total 500

I narrowly lost the game when my astra millitarum opponent wiped my centurions down to a single model in the final turn using his leman russ punisher. I made 2 out of 6 2+ saves and in the previous turn only managed to get 2 grav shots through both of which got deflected by his cover saves, on 6's no less !
Anyway in a week im going to play another match and i would like to add a 250 point allied detachment of space wolves. I cant use company of the great wolf due to the amount of elites required so my starting point will be a 10 man blood claw unit beyond that i have no idea what to add so any ideas are welcome. Additionally any criticisim on how to fix the 500 poimt marine list would be great.

Thanks for cheking out my list

-- Force Sword is better on the Librarian than a Force Axe because the Librarian having an Unwieldy Weapon in such a list is probably more of a detriment (especially since Force can confer Instant Death).

-- I would personally remove the Omniscope on the Centurions, remove the Heavy Bolters on the Tactical Squads, and give each Tactical Squad a Plasmagun. It means they still have a threatening weapon while maintaining all the benefits of mobility.
