How does this look? 4 TWC with 2 Claws and a Power Fist, plus a Bolt Pistol as wound soak. Wolf Lord and Iron Priest. Librarius Conclave coming along. Servitors to fill out Elite spots, should I replace them with something? I need another 100 points.

unfortunately you can not use servitors to fill the mandatory elite slots as long as you have an Iron Priest in the same detachment. Have a quick look at the 'Thralls' rule in the Servitor entry of the core Space Wolves codex. Also, it looks like you're buying a lot of 'toys' for units just to fill points? At 1850, I personally run quad Wolf Lords/Runic Armour/SS/Fist. It really depends on how competitive you wanna get. This is def. a start though!

ps. I'm assuming the Librarius Conclave has White Scars chapter tactics?

Aw shucks. I really want some Iron Priests and I'm not sure what to do with the Elite spots. Maybe an Allied detachment?

I'm not sure what you mean, I guess you're thinking about the Thunderwolves having different weapons and the HQ's having several weapons. I don't know, I just love the Helfrost pistol and the Tempest hammer.
What weapons do you recommend on the 4 Thunderwolves? I personally put the Bolt Pistol guy at the front as a wounds soak.

So 4 Wolf Lords? That's a lot of points, and I feel like it's a bit of a waste of the Lords initiative.

Ah, yeah.

Iron Priests are awesome. I only have one in my list because I run a full blown deathstar and don't want to spend any points on things that aren't ultra killy. He's from the Heralds of the Great Wolf formation, so I can still use servitors as cheap FoC requirements. If you plan on running more than one and want him to remain an IC, you'll unfortunately have to 'bite the bullet' and bring Wolf Scouts on the cheap side, or dreads(which is what I would recommend).

By 'toys' I mean that you are buying a lot of upgrades, that point for point don't give you the most oompf in my opinion. For example, the Hellfrost Pistol on the Iron Priest, or all the special weapons on the TWC. Bolt Pistol/Stormshield on all of them and a TH or fist on the leader, is the sweet spot in my opinion.

I'd also recommend at least 4 Librarians in the conclave.

As for the I5 on the lords being "wasted", that's a moot point. 6 S10 AP2 attacks are death to a lot of the current meta. Wraiths from a harvest formation are a good example. Enfeeble most MCs and you suddenly double them out. You already double out other bikes and TWC. With 2+/3++ saves on a T5 4 wound model, you are okay with striking last. Not much will be left after you hit.


those are my thoughts on the subject anyways!
