I like it.

Haven't used the the Stormfang yet but it seems solid on paper. Multimeltas are kinda expensive and you probably don't have the points for them but getting a Stormfang with them up the board intact is going to cause some serious damage. That's 7 S8 shots and 2 S9 shots everything doing D6 damage. Get some rerolls going and you're going to do a number on their forces. Probably a dead flyer if you're going second though.

The stormwolf should be 10 points cheaper with your loadout. I like quite a lot and sometimes I use it, mostly carrying max blood claws with ulrik and/or lukas.

Well Blackie it's a Stormfang, not a 'wolf.

I would probably try to give that WGBL a Thunderwolf mount. It's only 10ish points more, and you are going into melee with the TH anyway. 3 S5 Ap-1 attacks in melee is a lot better than 4 bolter shots IMO. You'll lose 4" of movement but you can advance all day long (unless you're about to charge) because you don't have to shoot.

E: Although that probably goes against your "Iron" theme.

Oooops sorry, I've read it badly.

I'm not sure about the stormfang gunship, it's basically a land raider that doesn't carry units. Now would you take an empty land raider? I'd take the stormfang only if I had a 5-6 man unit inside, like some wolf guards. Otherwise long fangs with lascannons/missile launchers or plasma cannons can do the same job for lesser points. Or maybe a laser predator if you want a fully mechanized list, it's also quite cheaper than the flyer.
