Hey all,

So I've got a list of Eldar for the same tournament I've finished painting (thanks to isolation), I'm now near complete finishing a space wolves list.

Here's what I'm going with and be good to get ya thoughts as I've never run a space wolves army but am well versed in Space Marines.

Please ignore the 20pts as battlescribe haven't put Ragnar's points down correctly yet:


++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (Imperium - Space Wolves) [71 PL, 8CP, 1,480pts] ++

+ Configuration +

Battle-forged CP [3CP]

Detachment CP [5CP]

+ HQ +

Primaris Rune Priest [7 PL, 103pts]: 1. Living Lightning, 2. Tempest's Wrath, Psychic hood, Runic sword

Primaris Wolf Priest [6 PL, 77pts]: 6. Canticle of Hate, Morkai's Teeth Bolts, Saga of the Wolfkin, Tale of the Wolf King and the Lord of the Deeps, Warlord

Ragnar Blackmane [6 PL, 100pts]

+ Troops +

Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 106pts]: Auto Bolt Rifle
. 4x Intercessor: 4x Bolt pistol, 4x Frag & Krak grenades
. Intercessor Pack Leader: Thunder hammer

Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 107pts]: Auto Bolt Rifle, Auxiliary Grenade Launcher
. 4x Intercessor: 4x Bolt pistol, 4x Frag & Krak grenades
. Intercessor Pack Leader: Thunder hammer

Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 107pts]: Auto Bolt Rifle, Auxiliary Grenade Launcher
. 4x Intercessor: 4x Bolt pistol, 4x Frag & Krak grenades
. Intercessor Pack Leader: Thunder hammer

+ Elites +

Wulfen [22 PL, 344pts]
. 2x Great frost axe
. 6x Thunder hammer & Stormshield: 6x Storm Shield, 6x Thunder Hammer
. 8x Wulfen
. Wulfen Pack Leader: Frost claws

+ Flyer +

Stormfang Gunship [15 PL, 245pts]: Skyhammer missile launcher
. Two Lascannons: 2x Lascannon

+ Dedicated Transport +

Impulsor [97pts]: 2x Storm Bolters, Shield Dome

Impulsor [97pts]: 2x Storm Bolters, Shield Dome

Impulsor [97pts]: 2x Storm Bolters, Shield Dome

++ Total: [71 PL, 8CP, 1,480pts] ++

It's a pretty straightforward list and plays one way, Impulsor rush forward with each 5 man squad inside and character in each with boat loads of attacks and great damage output.
I'd maybe consider depending on the list I'm up agaisnt rushing forth and having the Rune Priest jump out and cast powers then pull out the cloak of the storms to keep all 3 tanks alive (or at least try for 3cp).

The buffs from HQs + Intercessors should in theory blend just about anything from Hordes to Elite units. Think the relic pistol is useful as the army lacks wound rerolls and think it's pretty powerful the way it works as a lesser doom!

Wulfen are outflanking for 1cp (with transhuman, storm shields and 5fnp), they're gonna be hard to shift and hit like a ton of bricks as we all know!

Stormfang gunship is bringing some heavy ranged firepower and offering itself as an expensive distraction.

Very elite but that's how I like my armies. What do you all think?

HQ

Theres better characters in the HQ for their points values, Njal with two phsycic casts and +1 to rolls and a reroll of failed deny the witch test not to mention two deny's all for 115 pts iirc. much better than a primaris rune priest.

Intercessors with space wolves? i'd swap your squads for blood claws and keep your wulfen close by for +1 attack if close combat is what you want.

for 107pts ->
Intercessors 4 + pack leader w thunder hammer

8 attacks plus 3 thunder hammer attacks
if 12" of wulfen
12 attacks + 4 thunder hammer attacks

11 wounds 3+ save


Vs 108pts[b]
Blood claws 8 + pack leader w powerfist

Basic attacks
16 attacks + 2 power fist
If you charge
24 attacks + 3 powerfist
If you charge and are 12" within wulfen
32 attacks + 4 powerfist

10 wounds 3+ save

savage! no space wolf army is complete without them, especially close by HQs for even more buffs onto rerolls, used in the right way they can wipe many points off the table

it also means you can bin off the impulsors for rhinos, save 90 points and get more wulfen!
