Hi dakka and with upcoming New year!

I couldn't decide between Blood Angels or Space Wolves so I decided to do both in a way I did my own chapter, in which Blood Angels and Space Wolves fight together.
I already got some units and painted them, so it be great if I could use them although I don't know are they good enough to stay, anyways I'm asking for your help in deciding what to get next for my mostly fun list that of course should at least be fun to play, and wouldn't get wiped on the turn 3 ))

I already got:

Blood Angels

Librarian with a jump pack and a power sword
2 Sanguinary priests with jump packs
Brother Corbulo
10 Assault marines with jump packs, 2 meltaguns, and power sword on sergant

Space Wolves

10 grey hunters plasma pistol, power sword, 1 plasma gun

also I have a razorback with lasscanons ( it's magnetized so it could be with heavy bolters or just a rhino) don't know where to stick it though )))


My idea was something like this: 2-10 man jump squads with priests in each of them and with librarian in one of them , then a rhino full of grey hunters on the table and in reserves drop pod with 9 sternguards, and a Brother Corbulo, and a drop pod with 4 Space Wolf terminators and a ironfist , also some kind of flyers, although I really don't like flyers :( but it's 6 ed so what you gonna do. I'd be glad to see your ideas because I really don't have experience with Space marines of any kind, I'm an Ork player Thank you!

You'll need another squad of grey Hunters and a SW HQ (Rune Priest comes to mind) to make them a legitimate ally. You'll also need at least one more squad of troops in your Blood Angel force to make that a legal primary detachment. Maybe a tactical squad or another pack of assault marines. Both of these Codex are old now, so although fun to play, you've gotta be on your game to easily win with these armies. All of the newer marine books have seen steep price decreases and the new Xenos books are pretty nasty now-a-days.
ALWAYS RUN Grey hunters with a Wolf Standard as it's incredibly good and ALWAYS run with either dual plasma guns or dual melta guns, if they are in ten man packs. This is more reliable than mixing things upo and the ability to take 2 assault weapons is key to their strategy / use. The plasma pistols are too expensive IMHO. I believe that Power Axes and Mark of the Wulfin are both better than power swords and neither is necessary here, since the BA assault marines are your CC go-to marines. Id take two packs of Grey Hunters like this...
Hunter x10 --> Plasma Gun x2 --> Wolf Standard
That's a very handy 170 point unit.
Also, if you are going to use space wolves I'd try to get a squad of Long Fangs with Missile Launchers. They are cost efficient, have split fire, and would add some very much neede long-range fire power to your list. Then all you'd need is something to take on AV14 vehicles and this would start looking like a balanced army!

Thank you , I already have one missile launcher Space Wolf and a dude who can be a sergeant
