Stumbled upon a discussion going on over at bolter & chainsword and thought I would post it here. Someone asked what would be the best pure Space Wolves list imaginable. The results were several people agreeing that the following would be the best. What do you all think? It's a double Ironwolves formation with the Wyrdstorm bros tagging along. Wolf Lord & WGBL could join them and bike around doing wolf things.

+++ Ironwolves + Wyrdstorm (1835pts) +++

++ Space Wolves: Codex (2014) (Formation Detachment) ++

Grobmoscher, you seem to be very convinced by Thunderhammers. Just out of curiosity - why no Power fists or Wolf claws?

- Knights auf any Kind
- no FnP (vs Claws)

Its not a legal list.

Wolf gaurd battle leaders cannot have bikes

Why are the WGBL unable to have bikes?

The rule states, "transport capacity" for which the bikes represent 4 models in bulkiness, but never states they must be transported within them...
