I'm trying to build a competitive threat overload style list which can handle the crazy meta of jetbikes, knghts, spiders, battle company, etc. Still have 55pts to play with and I'd love comments if you see any weakness.

General plan is to have the wulfen in the pod and the WGBL with the wolf guard. This gives three speedy, and deadly, units (bikers and TWC). The skyhammer then comes down and combat squads with the wulfen and the assassin infiltrates.

Skyhammer: 710 (white scars)
5 Assault Marines: MBs
5 Assault Marines: MBs
10 Devastators: 4 Grav-cannons
Drop Pod
10 Devastators: 4 MMs
Drop Pod

Culexus: 140

Company of the Great Wolf: 945
WGBL: TW, SS, BP, Krakenbone sword
5 Wolf Guard: Bikes
5 Wulfen: Pack leader with claws, 2 TH&SS, 2 Axe and frag
Drop Pod
3 TWC: 1 PF&SS, 2 CCW&SS
3 TWC: 1 PF&SS, 2 CCW&SS

good list, i suggest dropping the wolf guard because wolf guard are not that good without power weapons, what i would do is put the wgbl with the wolfen and have him tank some wounds from the incoming hail of fire, you could also switch him out for the cataphractii terminator and give him a storm shield and he will tank stuff. just put a servitor instead of the wolf guard.

What happens if you need to hold back for a turn and/or your opponent null deploys? Your Wulfen will be left stranded in the open with no target and your opponent will bring his units in away from your threats.

If you have 55 pts left, adding another drop pod wouldn't hurt and could mitigate the effects of null deployment. Add a power axe to the bikers and you're set.

That's a great point in countering null-deploy. Made a quick revision to the below adding grey hunters in a pod (cheap throw away unit) and added an axe to the WG.
