Here you can just sit back and decimate the foe with your long fangs. The wolf guard are there to join the long fangs and give them a 2+ save up front.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157451.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157451.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157475.page GMT Space Wolf List sw is a mid range army with a combo of cc and range]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157500.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157500.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157583.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List

Wolf Guard have different roles depending on how you use them. They can act as Sergeants to bump leadership on your GH or BC, they can get put in Termi armour and do what other Terminators do or you can put them in Termi armour and attach them to different squads to soak fire to get your guys safely across the field or protect your LF.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157607.page GMT Space Wolf List 40k....it is now 1 year.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157608.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157614.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157646.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157661.page GMT Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157674.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157678.page GMT Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157694.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157714.page GMT Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157716.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157727.page GMT Space Wolf List cc units, or a combination of fire support and assault units?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157732.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157732.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157747.page GMT Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157754.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5157765.page GMT Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5158435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5158435.page GMT Space Wolf List GH, At the very least I'd have 8 GH with a Termi WG just to fit in the Drop pod. Which leads me to my next point. Yes Rhinos and Razorbacks are pretty much nuked by turn two but they only have to get halfway across the board since that's where a Space Wolf is at his best, mid range to CC combat and with counterattack you make them come to you.

On an assault list if you need to get close, i.e. Tau or IG, armies that don't want to get close and won't then a drop pod list is the way to go. I like to use mine in conjunction with an HQ that has Saga of the Hunter leading a full squad of GH with a TDA WG carrying an Assault Cannon or CML. Outflank on the board open up on whatever is closest and then next turn assault and rip apart anything left standing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5158635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5158635.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5159460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5159460.page GMT Space Wolf List
I've been playing Space Wolves for YEARS, and I can say that Thunderwolf Cavalry are definately viable, but ned to be used properly. I'd say if you are going to run TWC, run at least a couple Rhinos as well. I tend to run 2 squads of Grey Hunters in Rhinos pushing up to mid-field. The Thunderwolf Cavalry run behind the Rhinos. The second wave of Grey Hunters follows behind them on foor (with Terminator Wolf Guard squad leaders. Throw in a coupld squads of Long Fangs and you are good to go. An example of a farily standard 2000 point list like this would look like this--->

HQ - Rune Priest

TROOP - Grey Hunters x10, Plasma-Gun x2, Wolf Standard
TROOP - Grey Hunters x10, Plasma-Gun x2, Wolf Standard
TROOP - Grey Hunters x10, Melta-Gun x2, Mark of the Wulfin, Wolf Standard, Rhino
TROOP - Grey Hunters x10, Melta-Gun x2, Mark of the Wulfin, Power Fist, Standard, Rhino

FAST - Thunderwolf Cavalry x3, Storm Shield, Power Fist
FAST - Thunderwolf Cavalry x3, Storm Shield, Power Fist

HEAVY - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x5
HEAVY - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x5
HEAVY - Long Fangs x6, Missile Launcher x3, Lascannon x2

ELITE - Wolf Guard x5, TDA x5, Cyclone ML

FORTIFICATION - Aegis Defense Line

The Wolf Guard will al act as squad leaders for the 3 Lonf Fang squads and the 2 foot-slogging plasma toting Grey hunter packs. The Cyclone Missile Launcher one joins the Long Fangs with the Lascannons. The Rune Priest will also join this squad and use Divination. If you can remove another 50 points somewhere, maybe he could also man a quad-gun with the Aegis Line. (Worth doing, if he's gonna use biffer spells instead of psychic shooting attacks. The Thunderwolf provice CC support for all 4 Grey Hunter packs as they move up to dominate the mid-field. Usually I'll string the Aegis Line out into one really long line and put all of my heavy Support back there. If I'm up against a CC oriented army, I play more defensively. If I'm against Imperuial Guard or something, then I let the Thunderwolves chase my opponent down instead. Just remember, that in the open, they will fall to small arms fire. Having one of them with a Storm Shield standing up front to take wounds can help with heavy fire, but tehy will still die to mass bolter fire. Always try to keep them out of hamrs way, until they reach close combat. To do this, I move them behind Rhinos. If I'm not fielding at least 2 Rhino's I won't field Thunderwolf Cavalry either. Technically yu can move them up using Drop Pods for cover as well, but it's not as easy to pull off. If you want to add combi-weapons or a quad gun, I'd remove one of the Long Fang packs and add a redator tank to move forward between the Rhinos. They provide some great mobile fire support. For 85 points, 2 BS4 heavy bolters and an Autocannon on AV12-13, ain't bad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5159700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499396/5159700.page GMT Re:Space Wolf List SW do "Steel Rain" better than anyone at the moment. Some of the more devastating lists I've used and seen used contain 3 or 4 drop pods. and the troops inside are 2x 10man GH squads and 2x 8man wolfguard squads combi weapons ouot the waazoo. 5pts a combi on a 18pt model is simple over the top. turn 1 you decide what you need to come in with 2 of your 4 pods and almost guarentee First Blood, a lot of games are won on the back of first blood.

I like runic armor on the Rune Priest. I do not remember what Master of Runes does so I wont comment but I know I have never used it.

I think the at least one of those GH squads needs melta, if not both. Reason being is if you face a single LR list, you are done for. Lascannons are not reliable against them.

I also think you can shave some points by only having 4 or 5 lascannons instead of 6. The difference is important at such low point levels.

Good luck. The list is well balanced. I am a fan.

Also, if you can fit one more PA WG in to increase the Ld. of the second GH squad, that is huge. Ld 8 is a liability I always choose to mitigate.

HQ:
Rune Priest: Runic Armor, Combi-weapon, Divination

Elites:
Wolf Guard: x3 in terminator armor with power weapons and Combi-weapons

Troops:
Grey Hunters: x10; 2 meltas, wolf standard, power weapon (Attach WG)
Grey Hunters: x10; 2 meltas, wolf standard, power weapon (Attach WG)

Heavy Support:
Long Fangs: x5; 2 lascannons/2 missile launchers (Attach WG)
Long Fangs: x5 2 lascannons/2 missile launchers (Attach RP)

Check the points and see if that fits.

EDIT: I have one too many WG. I changed above.
