Hey guys. I appreciate your patience here.

I need some help with this. I have this roster (it's my first time ever doing this). My friends play Necrons, Terminids, adeptas sororitas and Tau. Does this make sense for a roster? I'm trying to lean more away from classic Space wolf versions of things where possible so I can make custom stuff.

Haven't decided which? Does this Matter?
1. Captain (sculpted with a spear instead of a sword. should I use this?).
a. Captain with terminator armor (not sure I should use this instead?)
b. Captain in gravis armor (not sure I should use this instead?)

2. Wolf Guard Lieutenant (from space wolf combat patrol)
3. Intercessors (5 units) (from space wolf combat patrol)
4. Intercessors (5 units) (from space wolf combat patrol)
5. Infernus squad (5 units) (from ultramarine combat patrol)
6. Invictor Tactical Warsuit (with from space wolf combat patrol w flame thrower)
7. Eliminators 3 squad (not built not sure which weapons to use. need input on this)).
8. Terminators (5 units from ultramarine combat patrol).
9. Hounds of Morkai (5 units. 4 with pistols and knives, 1 with grappling hook and knife).
10 Reivers: 5 Units (4 with pistols and knives, 1 with grappling hook and knife. from space wolf combat patrol).
11. Thunderwolf Cavalry (3 of them with power spears and shields).
12. Librarian in terminator armor (from ultramarine combat patrol)

For what point level you're aiming for? What you've got there is somewhat over thousand points.

With this selection of units, the normal captain is only sensible choice. You have no gravis unit for the gravis captain to join to and you have only one terminator unit and the librarian needs to join that, so there is no free unit for terminator captain to join either.

What you're most obviously lacking here is some is some anti-tank firepower. You have a lot of stuff that can deal with infantry well, but you will struggle with tougher vehicles and monsters.Giving the eliminators the las fusils would give you some anti-tank, though not much.

Adding a gladiator lancer or a ballistics dreadnought might be a good next step.

It is hard to give much of a good advice. For a "proper" SW list you don't have the units to build one. But buying them now, when SW codex comes within a few months with potentialy some crucial units from modern lists being gone (logan and his sled) would be wasting your time and money.

This far in to an edition, I would say that unless you have too much money, take what you have and learn how to play with it. Learn how to sticky objectives, how to counter deploy, how to do heroic interventions.

If you can get some cheap dreadnoughts, get 1-2 of the Ballistus and the regular plasma one. Don't go overboard with maxing them, or tanks to 3. Learn to play, paint your dudes etc

Starting this late in to an edition, pre codex is just not easy (mostly financialy and time wise, if you want to paint everything yourself).
