Ok so to bring my 1250pt list up to 1500pts I decided to add space wolves.The plan is simple, my DE list relies on air support so the space wolves pod in behind any anti air units first turn, rune priest casts prescience and they triple melta it, good chance to kill most av12 vehicles or at least disable them. If the space wolves survive after they could also be quite a nuisance. What do you think of this list?

DE 1250pts list:

HQ
-Succubus 70
venom blade

Elites

-4 trueborn 178
4 blasters, raider, night shields

-3 Trueborn 144
3 blasters, Venom w/ extra splinter cannon, night shields

Troops
-10 Kabalite Warriors 170
splinter racks Raider w/dark lance, night shields

-10 Kabalite Warriors 170
splinter racks Raider w/dark lance, night shields

-9 Wyches 198
hekatrix w/venom blade haywires, raider, night shields

Heavy Support

-Razorwing 155
flickerfields, dark lances

-Voidraven 155pts
Flicker field

SW allies
HQ
-Rune priest 115pts
Combi melta, chooser of the slain (prescience and one other power)

Troops 138
-5 grey hunters + attached wolf guard
melta, drop pod, Wolf guard has combi melta

I like the idea, and some of the fluff potential could be very interesting. Remember, you wolves also bring some very potent psychic defense with that runic stick. Probably going to be a priority target for other psyker armies, but it draws fire away from your DE(Just as planned by the DE all along...)

To the nuts and bolts, unfortunately you can't take prescience and living lighting. So your options are either prescience and melta shot, or throw living lighting in with your melta dakka. Living lightning can be denied, and your probably only getting a turn or two. That said, prescience saves your bacon if your assaulted and boosts your dakka all around. Remember one of your wolves can toss a krak grenade in addition to the melta dakka. So, I would go prescience, and maybe another cool divination power if you get one.

Give your rune priest a combi melta to ensure whatever you shoot dies. They are doing the job your blasterborn would have to do, but no loss of the venom. For your spare 10 points, a chooser of the slain might be your best bet. Helps negate scouts or infiltrators, while also boosting the BS of your priests combi shot so long as you can see the chooser. Alternatively, you could switch the trueborn into a venom, and get haywire grenades for the succbus, or whatever.

Ok, thanks, that's a good idea. I'll go with the combi melta on the priest and a chooser.

just realize the space wolf part of this list is illegal as wolf guard are 3-10 not 1-10 per unit so I would have to drop the wolf guard with combi melta, I still think the rune priest and 5 grey hunters will be useful though, 2 twin linked meltas and a krak grenade should put the hurt on most light vehicles but what should I do with the 23pts left over? Take another grey hunter instead? In fact if I drop the chooser I could take 2.
