I'm new to the forum as well as playing pups and just wanted to run a list past you all.

HQ

Rune Priest

Rune Priest

Elites

5 Wolf Scouts (Meltagun, Meltabombs)

Troops

10x Grey Hunters (Flamer, Plasma Gun, Wolf Standard)
Drop Pod

10x Grey Hunters (Flamer, Plasma Gun, Wolf Standard)
Drop Pod

10x Grey Hunters (Flamer, Plasma Gun, Wolf Standard)
Drop Pod

10x Grey Hunters (Flamer, Plasma Gun, Wolf Standard)
Drop Pod

Heavy Support
5 Long Fangs with Missile + Leader
4 Long Fangs with Plasma Cannon + Leader

TOTAL: 1485

Rune Priests will hang out with the Long Fangs with Divination so they will hopefully hit everything they want, and rolling up the 4+ ward save would be nice.

Scouts will come in on the enemy edge to harass and deal with armour that Missiles might not be able to.

Not sure where to put the left over points.

Any help would be great

I would consider possibly throwing a WG in Termite armor with one of the GH squads. Putting an SS on him as well will help him take all the fire away from his squad. He is a lot of points, but definitely has paid off for me in the past.

You have one LF squad all MLs? And one all Plasma? I would possibly mix them to make target priority tricky. Considering you can split fire, it will not make a difference.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6810324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6810324.page GMT LF squads, but that is a good idea. As for Flamers/plasma, I just think it will work out okay. Yet to try it though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6810381.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6810381.page GMT
Perhaps grab an aegis with auto-cannon to give your long fangs something to sit behind and at least some anti-air on the field. Drop the scouts to afford these options.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6810715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6810715.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6811160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6811160.page GMT

I also think drop the Wolf Scouts and try to use those points for a 5 man grey hunter in a drop pod. It is always better to have an odd number of drop pods. That way you will maximize the number of pods you get on turn one]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813250.page GMT
Also, just out of curiosity and I don't have my codex with me. But with drop pod assaults, do you still roll for reserves for the ones that are coming in turn one?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813272.page GMT
And drop the scouts, I've never really had a use for them since they get shot to bits since they can't assault. If you want something to sneak in and flank your opponent. Put a squad of Grey Hunters or Blood Claws with Wolf Priest who has saga of the hunter.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813359.page GMT
How can I take WG Battle leaders if I already have two HQ choices?
]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6813390.page GMT
Is basically lets you have two HQ choices for every FoC HQ slot, under the condition that no two HQs may be equipped in the exact same way, nor can two psykers have the exact same combination of powers nor can a saga be taken twice in the army.

In that regard, you'd have to equip one of your priests with either a chooser of the slain with your extra points (say... the one that will be manning a possible aegis defense line's gun, yay re-rollable BS5 for an effective BS 10! ) or just switch its bolt pistol for the free bolter. It's free, easy and will most probably never come into play, but it's important to note that difference because of the army's special rule.

As for the scouts, I've had good uses for mine and they pretty much always were worth their points. Maybe not in what they kill, but in what they get shot at instead of the rest of my army getting shot at. And with a potential 6 plasma shots or two melta shots (two pistols, special weapon + combi-weapon wolf guard) that can arrive from any edge of the board (even your opponent's) fairly reliably, it's usually enough to get your opponent to shoot at them instead of something else more valuable or at least force your opponent to leave their big toys far from any table edge in fear of their potential, leaving those closer to any real threats your army may have. And that, by my book, is a result worth fielding them. But that's just an opinion, what is it worth anyway?

And for the grey hunters, I'd consider:
Double melta for one squad.
Buying a set of terminators to make a wolf guard unit and having one go in each of your remaining squads and one in each long fangs for protecting them with 2+ save, following their pack leader rule, which allows them to leave the squad (and in this example, leaving said squad empty) to join almost any other squad of wolves.
Combi-weapons for the drop-podding guards, optimally having a combi-version of the special weapon you'll have in the squad.
That would, of course, mean lowering you grey-hunter model count to 8 and forfeiting the free special weapon, but it's worth it because you get a character in your squad for challenges, a 2+/5++ save in your troops and a built-in power-weapon of your choice!
Having all of combis and special weapons be meltas will wreak havoc on any transport-relying list, and even gives you an answer to super-heavies.

And for the long fangs, all sounds good so far, but stick the leader at front so he can eat the first wound and preserve the firing power of the squad, as he's completely useless in most situations (his leadership being the same as the rest of the squad and his ability to challenge useless as, if they get in melee, you're doing it wrong)... except if you mix your HWs, in which case he's paramount.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6815636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594138/6815636.page GMT
