Hi over last few weeks I've been gluing up and converting the contents of BaC and BoP plus some SWckits to make my Wolves legion army.
It currently stands as follows:
Russ
Geigor fell hand
A chooser of the slain
A rune caster
A praetor in cataprachti armour
5x Cataprachti termies with PF 1 heavy flamer and 2chain fists
10x Tartarus termies 5 with LC 3with TH and 2 with PF plus an autocannon
3squads of 10 grey slayers each with a mix of fists swords claws chain swords and bolsters
2squads of 15 legion tactical marines
1 squad of 6 melta armed support squad
1contemptor dread with Kheres cannon

Was wondering what I should look into next. Was thinking 10 desthsworn when they release the models and some tanks
Please can you advise me

Need some anti-tank, and some tanks of your own. And Transports. How are you going to get across the table?

These are your classic, can't go wrong choices. Sicarian Battle Tank is the best all around tank in 30K. The Sicarian Venerator is probably the best anti-tank in the game. You could also go with Vindicators with Laser Destroyers. The ubiquitous Spartan Land Raider is the chariot of all Primarchs.

If you go outside the box- flyers. A Lightning or Xyphon are both excellent flyers that can do some serious damage to your enemy if they don't have some serious dedicated anti-air. And it is all too easy to get some serious AA in 30K.

Some other side options to look at: Deredo Dreadnought is a great anti-tank platform, and can be a great boon to your Cataphracti Terminators (3++ for all my friends!). The Levithian Dreadnought has become another great choice.

Your army really needs some maneuverability. A couple Rhinos to get some Grey Slayers on objectives, or a Land Raider or two would go a long way to help with that.

you really don't need 3 squads of grey slayers and 2 units of 15 tactical marines as grey slayers are the SW equivalent of tacticals and are far more flexible as well. use them as seekers, they will serve you better that way as the seekers are good vs blobs and TEQ units, that or use them too boost the numbers of the grey slayer packs as they work well in high numbers and you can only take a special weapon every 5 men in the squad meaning that a 20 man unit could have 4 fists/claws plus the sergeant's weapon. my advice would be to get some vindicators as they bring some good firepower to the table and can be upgraded to move 12 inches and still fire with a machine spirit. a leviathan dreadnought with a the melta arm would be a good source of anti tank for the army. another good and fluffy choice would be a ceastus assault ram loaded up with cataphractii, that provides them with some mobility and gives you the caestus' missiles, magna melta and ramming ability for dealing with vehicles.

Id also recommend writing a list and choosing a rite of war. That way you have a solid plan for your army.

I play Space Wolves also, so here's a few things I've learned.

#1 Grey Slayers work great in groups above 10. I run 15 man squads with x2 fists x12. Bolters and vex. Give the pack leader AA and a great frost blade. This unit does wonders for me.

#2 I have trouble running termis because of the cost, especially the SW specific ones. Walking is to slow, but a normal land raider isn't worth it to me points wise. So its up in the air for me.

#3 big man Russ is a beast, but he is even better with body guards. I wouldn't even consider him unless it was a 2.5k or more.

#4 you need anti tank. Badly, every legion brings armor. Bring something to break there armor.
