Experimental fun list with lots of CC potential and lots of plasma. All the buffs from this list make the blood claws seem pretty nasty. I have found that on paper blood claws have the potential to be nasty in close combat epecially in a pack of 15. My ideal fun list includes Wulfen, Lukas, and a wolf priest with squads of bloodclaws. The wulfen buff blood claws up to 12" away with either reroll on charge or +1 attack. Lukas gives blood claws a buff of +1 to all hit rolls.. The good thing about this key word is that these affect swiftclaws and skyclaws as well. Not to mention the wolfguard pack leaders in the squads benefit as well.
So recap: units with the bloodclaw keyword will get
+1 to all hit rolls
+1 attack from wulfen (or reroll charge)
+1 attack for blood claw berserk charge
+1 att for chain sword
Reroll all failed hits in fight phase
Use Ld of priest
Stats after buffs WS 2+ BS 3+ S4 T4 W1 A 3(4) Ld 9 Sv 3+ ( pack leader have 5 attacks on charge)
Pretty nice on paper and it would seem hiding plasma guns in blood claw packs would be a great idea now. All this of course hinges on the proximity to the wulfen and 2 characters. Rune priest for storm caller I think we all like +1 to our saves. What do you guys think?

Yea looks pretty nasty! BUT, you won't get to the CC with this roster versus most of the armies in 8ed. Any marines/Cadians/Tau, etc etc. would just shoot those units before you even came to CC. You need some transports, maybe 2 Rhinos with those guys instead of RP and one unit of BC. Buff other two units, Wulfens can use strategem to get into fight.
