Facing a huge Space Wolves army this weekend and I know my mate is going to bring a lot of Thunder Wolf Cavalry. Any tips? Ways for dealing with them? Suggestions etc.

I'm bringing lots of Necrons.

D&D squads in NS are pretty point efficient at dealing with tough infantry units. Anything without a good invulnerability save will go down really fast.

SW can build a pretty tough CC Deathstar but not without throwing a lot of points in it. It can be built to break a bargeLord or D Lord + wraiths pretty handily. Tesseract Labyrinth can work well in this matchup. If mathhammer reveals the Deathstar is too tough to break, play the avoid game and go after stuff you can kill and win the mission on maneuverability.

Ap3 will kill them unless they've got a lot of points invested in which case just shoot at them with everything untill they fail saves.

Yes. He has intimated that he is bringing a deathstar of sorts. I'm anticipating layers of invuln save and feel no pain and stuff? It's a 5000 pt game so I'm sure he'll buff this unit to the max. I'm bringing a PylonStar.

What does the best TWC deathstar look like?

2-5 lords w/ SS's, PF
1-2 Iron priests on wolves w/ th
groups 6 wolves with 3++/PF.

Each wolf can dish out 5x STR 5/6 AP2-5 rending hits on the charge. the Iron priests/lords can also take additional dogs to soak up wounds.

Then, if he's going really hard core, he could put in a WS allies buff command on a bike with hit and run so he can slam into you with 50+ attacks (3/4 of which are AP2) and then run away.

Not sure, but if it is a Time Warner Cable deathstar I can safely say it will cost too much, not work well and not have good customer service when you call up and try to get it fixed.

Yuckayuckayucka!
