After trying the new orks and drukhari, it's time to unleash the wolves too. They're my third army and I don't have a lot of options available, specifically I don't own a single tank as I hate the models. One of the main concerns is about clearing infantries blobs with shooting, as I can handle troops in close combat and I may field some little anti tank but thanks to the drop pods' nerf and my lack of transports I'm oriented in keeping the grey hunters and they're bolters out of the battle, that's why the bikes are there.

Basically the blob of blood claws rides in the stormwolf with lukas, lord and wolf priest with the TWC. This is a close combat oriented army, as I think SW should be mostly punchy but with the bikes and the flyer I can also dispose of some anti infantries and some anti tank. I've listed 4 frost axes in the wolf guard unit but I'll probably spread them among the bikes, TWC and blood claws. I only need to buy the bikes to play this list, but I've already have the biker priest who is magnetized and can also be a psyker. In the meantime I will replace the bikers with 5 long fangs equipped with missile launchers and some upgrades in the TWC and blood claws units. Eventually I can cut the wolf priest and a blood claw with flamer and replace them with Ulrik (and some other small upgrades with the spared points) that rides with the infantries in the stormwolf. In the abscence of the biker models I've also considered reducing the blood claws unit to a squad of 9-10 guys in order to field 5-6 wolf guards with them, with the same loadout that I listed for the bikers.

Comments appreciated, thanks

I believe Lucas is an elite choice

Right he's elite, I've listed there as I consider him part of the blood claws squad, but now he has is own slot. It doesn't matter for the detachments though, I just needed one mandatory troop choice and I can dispose of 4 elites.
