Thanks!

I am interested to know why lucas the trickster, someone said my list needs him but he seems expensive for what he is, is he really very effective? Also fernisian wolves have never worked well for me, as they get wiped so easy due to the weak leadership, have you had different experience with them? I am just trying to get a good idea what I am doing wrong because I believe I am, as I have been having a hard time lately against my roommate.

I agree about Lukas, he's a bit expensive but certainly a decent option if you rely heavily on blood claws.

About fenrisian wolves being wiped out due to poor leadership, have you tried a wolf priest with bike or jump packs? With him nearby they can use his leadership (Ld9) and they can also re-roll failed hits in close combat. A wolf priest is handy to buff wulfen and/or TWC as well.

In fact the OP list doens't look that bad, I just think those blood claws must have a transport. Too many HQs probably, I'd suggest to bring just a single battallion and add more blood claws and some rhinos. I'd cut canis and the rune priest. I'd also change the TWC loadout, drop a couple of storm shields and add some wolf claws which have amazing synergy with the S5 AP-1 of the mounts. .

yeah after actually looking into lukas and his auras I think I need to work him in.
