TACTIC

Each stormfang gets a bloodclaws squad inside . The rhino gets a bloodclaw squad and the longfangs (who dissembark first turn in order to avoid shooting and get keen senses to remove negative modifiers). The 2 stormfangs , the rhino, the dreadnought and the hellblasters move with the 3 HQs to get the reroll 1s to hit, 1s to wound and possibly -1 to hit from priest (-2 for flyers and rhino which will deploy smoke). Wulfen and aggressors get into the hunt to deploy in one flank to harass my opponent. I pair the wulfen with the aggressors and not the helblasters because aggressors are also good in melee and they benefit from reroll charges from wulfen.

Thoughts???

I've noticed a lot of lists with Space Wolves these days include jump pack characters. How do these fare in comparison to the wolf ride option? Specifically for Wolflord and Battle Leader. My brother plays Space Wolves and he runs as many riders as he can, so I'm curious if this is a better strategy?

I think your list looks good, especially with the synergy from the WL and BL offering the rerolls. How do your aggressors keep up with the Wulfen?

The Cavalry units ( characters included) can easily be avoided because they cannot move through other models, they cannot go on terrain floors and they cannot charge flyers. A cunning opponent can make them useless. Fly keyword is super powerful this edition making everything else look mediocre

Aggressors turn up from the hunt , and they get reroll charge from wulfen thats it. They take their separate ways after that

Oh interesting, I'll let my brother know, he might find that information to be very useful, thanks a lot!
