Having a hard time figuring out what to run in this tournament, I have Tau, Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Guard, and Space Wolves at my disposal and this list came to mind. Yes the Cavalry is a massive point sink deathstar but it can take an dish out a lot of punishment, they go straight up the middle with the Vindicators with one of the Grey Hunter squads, the drop pod comes in hopefully taking out something juicy. The Rune Priests stay on the pad with the Long Fangs using Divination.

Like I said having a hard time deciding what to do, so any comments would be appreciated it. I haven't ruled out using Deathwing or Guard allies.

Not many men for 2225pnts.

Plus 4 hq choices bit excessive, if its even possible.

Over 2k is double FOC but Space Wolves can nomally take 4 HQ choices, the double FOC things I have added is the 2 Vindicators.

So again would like a little input here. Do you think this is a crazy list? The cav seems like pretty care core and by spacing out the HQs they can take so much punishment. I like the idea of sending the Vindicators with them.

I would drop the wgbl for runic/tda for your rune priests. Plus maybe more twc in the unit, then buy a thunderhammer or a pf, if your going to get ap2, make itdouble your strength. Str 10 will kill anything

In 6E, it's all about the troops. While 35 isn't too bad, I'd recommend more. IMO I don't think you need the WGBL. Drop him for some more hunters (assuming you have more).

Also, split up the lascannon LF's. Currently, they are just a high priority target who will get gunned down first. Instead go 2 ML+2LC's.

Also, drop the power axes on the grey hunter sergeants. They are just going to die in challenges anyways. Instead, get wolf standards. Consider swapping out 1 melta unit for dual-plasmas.

Don't forget to make something about the two RP different since no two HQ can be the same.

Rupert, being able to have 4 HQ is what makes Space Wolves special. Let's us show off different heroes with all their epic sagas.

Yeah see I don't think like that. I rember a guy in Gw complaining my use of long fangs wasn't fluffy. Personally I couldn't care less about the fluff I m all about the strategy, and when i see someone with 4hqs and 4 troops I just think the proportions are all wrong high troops numbers seem to win games to me so I m just advising for maximum effectiveness.

Thanks for the input, I still have 75 points left over so perhaps I could drop the axes on the Grey Hunters and try and fit in more of them. I really like the WGBL as he gives me some nice LOS options especially with the 4 extra tag along wounds (wolves).

Splitting up the Lascannons is a good idea I will have the two Rune Priests up on the bad so two 3ML-2LC sounds like a plan. They Long Fangs will be my primary air defense. I dunno what else I would send with the cav, the Vindicators are more for fear factor as the scatter die is not my friend but they should allow the Cav to get in.

So i decided to drop the Drop Pod and footslog that unit of Grey Hunters. I also swapped out the melta for plasma on two of the squads. I am thinking of trying to add a WG pack leaders with Power Axe an Combi Weapon to at least two of the squads but to do that I would have to cannibalize the 3rd ten man squad for the benefit of the first two who will support the Cavalry and Vindicators. That would leave the 5 man squad home with the Long Fangs, and a 2nd to go out if we are in a multi objective game. That 3rd unit wouldn't be able to do much if they needed to.

What do you think leave them the way they are or buff the first two squads. Also should note Grey Hunters don't have sergeants to worry about so that power axe is really good on them. The WG pack leader would have to accept challenges though.
