Hey all,
I'm just starting to learn how to play again and chose The Space Wolves to do so
I haven't played since years (think it was 4th edition ?) and have no clue anymore about the rules.
In 2 weeks, I will have my first friendly match for 500 points (against, I think, Grey Knights but unsure)
For this I have tons of questions :
Should I go for 1 squad with 10 Grey Hunters or 2 squads of each 5 members.
Do I go for Thunderwolf Cavalry or a Venerable Dreadnought ?
Do I choose a Runepriest or a Wolf Lord or a Wolf Guard Battle Leader ?
I don't have much assembled / painted yet and have no vehicles as of yet....
I can still drop by the
GW shop and quickly buy a Rhino or so if really needed.
For now, I have 2 Start collecting sets, a Space wolf Dreadnought, Njall, Canis, a Wolf Guard Teminator set and the 8th edition starter box.
So here is my first attempt to a list:
HQ
Rune Priest (82 points)
with Runic stave + bolt pistol
Wolf Guard Battle Leader in Terminator Armor (105 points)
with a pair of wolf claws
TROOPS
5* Grey Hunters (83 points)
with 4 chainswords
3x Grey Hunters -
normal
1x Grey Hunter with special weapon -
plasma gun
1x Grey Hunter Pack Leader
5* Grey Hunters (85 points)
with 4 chainswords and a wolf standard
4x Grey Hunters -
normal
1x Grey Hunter Pack Leader
with Power Axe
ELITES
Venerable Dreadnought (145 points)
with Fenrisian Great Axe and a Blizzard Shield
The second list that I had in mind, I think feels less Space Wolfy but more vs Grey Knights Termies :

Rune Priest [6

3. Jaws of the World Wolf, Plasma pistol, Runic stave, Smite
