Hi all, decided to give up on the need to win VERY game with my wolves and have tried to get a compromise in a list. it consists of a rather large shooting force as the basis (Rune Priest, Longfangs, razorbacks, Deredeo and maybe the aggressors), enough to distract the enemy as my wulfen and hqs make it up the board. Does it look like something you could win and have fun with? I still have some room for tweaking but don't know where to make changes. I feel I lack the ability to kill hordes in combat so I might be relying to much on my gunline for that.

Any way heres the list give me your thoughts!

I’ve never played with aggressors but I’ve watched a lot of battle reports with them being used and played against them a few times and not once have I seen them perform. You’re much better off swapping them out with a squad of wolf guard on bikes with storm bolter and storm shield.

I like your powers and load out of the Rune priest. I very much dislike your choice to take two razorbacks with lascannons and nothing to carry. Hellblasters, predator, anything would be better. Or if you can find the points to take the stormfang and put at least one squad of wulfen in there you’ll be in great shape

I'm going to go on the bandwagon here and say that I'm not sure that the aggressors are really that strong. If you want the hard-hitting melee presence you have it in spades, and if you are just wanting a torrent of fire, you can almost get two units of inceptors for 222 points. maybe a way to bump some things around and get a few units of them for 36 HB shots?

Thats a pity that the aggressors seem to perform so badly. The main reason for them was to thin hordes and be capable of defending the backline in cc. Perhaps the interceptors would be better from the dakka perspective. Or the wolfguard bikers, the bolter rules and invuls defenitely make them attractive.

As for the razorbacks my idea was for the long fangs to start in them as a defensive option. I was leaning towards assault cannons but decided i needed the ranged anti tank.

Is the invul bubble from deredeo worth it? The math hammer ive seen tells me a leviathan is better in everyway damage wise but giving my fangs an invul just seems valuable..

Perhaps trading deredeo for leviathan. Aggressors for interceptors and razorback for stormwolf would be better.. probably to high in points which would mean id leave the interceptors at home.
