Looks very good .

I'd suggest not to take that many storm shields in both terminators and bikers squads since they will certainly receive non-ap shots and/or something that inflicts mortal wounds. A couple of cheaper bodies in each squad are always worthy IMHO.

I'm not sure about the battle leader in this list, Arjac and the lord should be enough. The lord comes with a 4+ invuln, I'd give him a melee weapon rather than the storm shield, maybe a forst axe or a wolf claw.

With the spared points you can add more bikers, more terminators and/or give some plasmas to the grey hunters. A thunder hammer for the bikers' leader can be nice too.

Alternatively you can also drop the wolf guard pack leader in terminator armor that joins the long fangs and add a rune priest on bike as the third HQ, who should be more useful than the battle leader. You can have him just taking out the battle leader as well.

But overall the list is certainly solid. Lord, arjac, long fangs, terminators, biker wolf guards and grey hunters in twin assault cannons razorbacks are very common in SW competitive lists, I also play all these units in my top list

I haven'y played SW since like 4th so unsure what have anymore, but just looking at the list:

1. It's wolves... not wolf's
2. Anyone with alot of armour/transports all they have to kill is your Long fang squad and the rest can be screened (not hard), the termies (termies have to just tie up not a hard ask, tie up retreat hit with good weaps = dead or tie up again), if killed long fang, armour has almost free reign.
3. Razor assault is great (prob saving grace). However, mass storm bolter at start seems awesome cause of the dice...until you play Grey knights and see how much smite comes into play...seems awesome but anyone that has a 3+ sav... mass storm bolter tbh isnt that great (its good but not that good. even if add biker shots in). Your twin assault cannons will always do well for points.
4. For HQ you prob want to give a good CC weap over storm shield (they have 4+ invul anyway, or a combi weap), just for needed punch.
4. You have alot of storm shields, but what happens when you go against someone that took alot of bodies as well (aka more small arms fire, less ap fire?)
5. It could do well, but tbh I dont see it going well against a mechanised list, with good screeners and some anti-armour punch.

Just musings,

SC

I like having the wolf lord and wgpl together for the rerolls to wound and hit. thinking I'll drop the wgpl off the long fangs and change them to las. as well as add plasma to the gh. something like this
