Hello everyone,

I have decide to get back into warhammer 40k after a few years of not playing. I used to play Tyranid and never really won much. Before I stopped I bought a bunch of space wolves and put them together. I'm looking to get back into 40K but not really sure where to start. I have the new space wolf codex and that is about it. My list is pretty simple as it is mainly what I have:

1000 points: The wolves unleashed detachment
HQ:
Wolf lord with runic armour and the bite of Fenris 135 points
Battle leader with runic armour and the fang of the ice wolf 100 points
Troops:
10 Bloodclaws with the leader upgrade with melta bombs and a flamer 140 points
10 grey hunters with a leader 150 points
Fast attack:
3 Thunderwolves with 2 TH/SS and 1 Frost Axe/SS 245 points
1 land speeder with assault cannon and heavy bolter 80 points
Heavy Support:
5 long fangs with 4 plasma cannons and a plasma gun 150 points
Total: 1000/1000

1500 points is the same list as above but with:
HQ:
Rune priest with mastery level 2, runic armour, melta bombs and runic sword 115 points
Elite:
3 wolf guard terminators with power fists and storm bolter 129 points
5 wolf guard with jet packs, twin wolf claws and melta bombs 255 points

Total: 1499/1500

The plan for this/these list(s) is to use what I have. I don't really want to spend any more money on this army until I'm sure that I really want to get back into 40k. (Have a bunch of tyranid that if I enjoy 40k I'll try to trade for another army)

I'd love everyone's thoughts on this

Both lists seem solid, especially the cav. (They're quite competitive atm) the only thing I'd drop is the Wolf lord because he isn't really adding much. All he's got is a ccw, so he won't be good in melee, and then a relic storm bolter which won't do him much good. I'd use the points to get transports (if you have any in your collection) or maybe a dreadnought for some armour. Good list, and I hope you enjoy 40k and the vlka fenryka!
