So this is my first attempt to make a list with points in 8th edition. My main goal here is to have a force that will rush the enemy as fast as possible with heavy hitters while infantry trudge forward and secure the rear. I thought about cutting the Grey Hunter squads down in size to fit in a named character possibly but I thought massed bolter fire might not be a bad thing. The infantry will move in a line formation up the middle with the two dreadnoughts, iron priests following behind, leading the charge. The TWC will each take a flank and charge up that way. Wulfen will follow the TWC but be a little more inside the playing area.

That's the initial plan anyway, depending on my opponents deployment of course! So here is the list.

Looks pretty scary. I think id do something to give the GH guns, and find points for Wolf Priest and a Wolf Guard Battle Leader for the rerolls to hit in CC and reroll 1s to wound. Give them TWC, Bikes, or even jump packs so they can keep up. Maybe just make the GH squads smaller and/or drop some of the SS from the TWC.

I honestly had not noticed that a Wolf Guard BL can take a TW now! That is pretty sweet... will probably force me to adjust my list!

I think what I may do is change the Grey Hunters to teams of five to pack them with guns... still mulling it over. For removing some of the SS, I'm reluctant to do that but it may be the best option!

Very choppy, very fun. I like it!
