So got my first real tournament coming up. 1000 points. compulsory 1xHQ, 1xTroops. Optional 1xTroops, 1x Elite, 1x FA, 1x HS. Went with list as follows.


Wolf Guard Battle Leader (160pts) [Thunderwolf]
Runic Armour [Frost Axe, Storm Shield]

Wulfen (234pts)
Wulfen Pack Leader [Duel Frost Claws]
2xWulfen [Stormfrag Auto-Launcher, Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield]
2xWulfen [Great Frost Axe, Stormfrag Auto-Launcher]


Blood Claws (166pts)
Drop Pod [Storm Bolter]
7xBlood Claw [Bolt Pistol, Chainsword]
Wolf Guard Pack Leader [Bolt Pistol, Power Fist]


Thunderwolf Cavalry (305pts)
4xThunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]
Thunderwolf Cavalry Pack Leader [Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer]


Long Fangs (135pts)
Long Fang Ancient [Bolt Pistol, Chainsword]
3x Long Fang w/ Flakk Missile Launcher

Total=1000pt on the dot.

Plan is, long fangs sit in cover, provide anti air/ fire support.

Wulfen buff' army and hunt down threats,

TWC, Blood Claws, and WGBL get objectives, and kill things that get close.

Blood claws can pump out 21 attacks on the charge, with a WGPL with PF to help ld and challenges. (Obj Secured too!)

What do we think? Suggestions?

Looks pretty solid to me. I have lost a lot of faith in the Long fangs over the last year or so... but they can be handy at holding an objective if you're playing for objectives. If you're going for points I would look into another squad of Blood claws or something personally. It does leave you open to flying but if you wipe their field with melee and lock them out of objectives or simply eat their models you'll render the flier useless anyways.
