The idea is pretty simple. It has a massive blob of hard to deal with moving to take the middle of the map. With Bjorn and WGBL providing re-rolls to hit and wound and the rune priest helping with cover saves, anything in that area can be mean. Usually this group will include the bikers, the venerable dread, a pack or two of the grey Hunters and the iron priest to heal vehicles.
The Long Fangs try to get cover or high ground and blast away all game. The wulfen will often outflank of course and try to take down top priority elite backline stuff on turn 2.
It starts with 11 command points and and seems like a good spread of anti infantry and anti tank weapons. It’s light on troops and pretty low model count though, so it could get creamed by a really strong Gunline I think. If that’s what it’s up against, the plan is to to press forward and try to get into cc ASAP.
Any input is always more than welcome. Trying to fine tune here, as we’re not getting a codex anytime soon.
*on a side note: since I can no longer give bjorn a FNP 6+ to stack with his natural ability to ignore wounds, what warlord trait should I be using and on who?



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Already though hot of an idea. Swap one long fang squad to plasma canons (save 16 points), swap wolf guard battle leader off of his thunderwolf (save 37 points), remove Storm Bolter from Razorback (save 2 points)

With the extra 55 points, I can now swap the two footslogging grey hunter packs into intercessors with auto bolters. These will go way better in the bubble of death re-rolls marching up the board, and the plasma canons are always fun on the long Fangs. Of course the battle leader takes a hit, but I think it makes sense.
