TOTAL -- [1,999 pts]

Start with 6CP.
- Chaplain rides with the TW Cav on one flank. Buffs w/ LoH (RR Hits) and EoR (+1 to Wound rolls in melee), Aura of Majesty extends litanies to 9" so he'll stay within 3" of TW Cav but towards the center so his litanies can affect the WG as well. Relic makes him harder to kill in melee (-1 to Hit and Wound rolls). If he takes any wounds, then all friendlies within 6" gain 6+++ thanks to Resolve of the Bear saga.
- Librarian rides w/ Wolf Guard up the middle, anti-overwatch w/ Murderous Hurricane, protects WG with Storm Caller and Cloaked by the Storm Strat.
- Dreadnoughts and Iron Priest on the other flank, priest heals 3 each turn (instead of D3 bc of Master of the Forge). Redemptor and Venerable are core so Bjorn lets them RR Hit rolls of 1. They will lead w/ Bjorn and Murderfang <3" behind (protected by Look Out Sir since they're Characters w/ less than 10 wounds) and Iron Priest tucked in-between them.
Intercessors hold DZ Objective.
I've played several games already with one or two threats and they're always focused in Turn 1/2; built this list where everything is a threat.
Thoughts?

I like this! Very fighty as it should be. One thing, don't list individual point costs, it's against the rules and your post will be deleted. I'd edit your post quick.

You could save yourself 95 points by switching the redemptor and the venerable to wulfen dreadnoughts, they would move faster and be able to keep up with bjorn and murderfang.

With the 95 points you could turn the 5 man intercessor into a 10 man assault intercessor, that way you can combat squad and hold 2 objectives or if you are against another brawler army you can keep it as a 10 man. people are often surprised by how much damage that squad can put out when in assault doctrine and boosted with savage strikes (40 attacks +1hit +1 to wound, exploding 6s ap -2). They also have access to the fight again strategem, and transhuman physiology making them fairly tough when backed up by your librarians defensive shenanigans.

With all those Thunder wolves your chaplain should be fairly safe from harm, I don't think you need saga of the bear and the pelt, you could probably drop both and the frost claw on the TWC sergeant and save yourself 3cp.

Maybe try looking at Canticle of Hate (+2 to charge) on the chaplain, it makes first turn charges with the TWC a real possibility and gives you the flexibility to deep strike the wolfguard against shootier armies they drop within 9 inches of the enemy and the chaplain and now only need a (statistically likely) 7" charge, I also run the wulfen stone on my chaplain so he hands out free re-rolls to charge as well as the +2 movement.
