CA really helped shave a bunch of points off this list. The Land Raiders and Stormfang surround the two HQs for their aura buffs. Each Land Raider carries a unit of Blood claws and Wulfen, and the Stormfang has the third Blood claw unit. The Longfangs stay somewhere out of sight in the backfield. Cyberwolves are around for deepstrike denial and objective grabbing. Waddya think?

I'd prefer a wolf priest instead of a rune priest, wulfen really love those re-rolls but overall looks nice. I'd give the armour of russ to the wolf lord which is more likely to get into combat than the psyker.

A Wolf Priest would be nice but I really don't want to get rid of the Rune Priest for one. The Rune Priest provides "Cloaked by the Storm" to all three of the big vehicles and I like having psychic support. As for the Armour of Russ on the Lord, I think I prefer it on the Rune Priest because of his Fury of the Wolf Spirits spell, and the Lord already has a 4+ invulnerable save.

The big strenght of the armour of russ is the ability of fighting first. This combined to the 6'' heroic intervention aura makes a wolf lord with that relic very scary if an enemy unit charges a SW one. But I agree it can be useful on the psyker as well since you gave him the psychic power to actually punch stuff in melee.
