CCW, the other carries a thunderhammer. The remaining one is either bare-bones or with a twin wolfclaw. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964145.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964145.page GMT How would you equip a unit of Thunderwolf Cavalry? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964157.page GMT How would you equip a unit of Thunderwolf Cavalry? MC's and vehicles.

A squad kitted out like can (and has) killed almost 2000pts of my daemons before, including 2 daemon princes (no iron arm though), a LoC with staff and a summoned KoS. He lost like half the squad while the rest of his army watched from objectives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964196.page GMT How would you equip a unit of Thunderwolf Cavalry? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8964229.page GMT How would you equip a unit of Thunderwolf Cavalry?

Depending on your local meta I would always go power fists over a thunderhammers. Why spend 5 points on concussive when you are going to destroy most enemy models with 1 round of combat anyway?

@op
I usually pack at least 2 shields, 1-2 fists, and the rest wolf claws. I'm not sure why you would ever buy a frost sword when you can get claws with the same profile + shred for the same points.

Frost Sword isn't a specialist weapon so if you have a pistol or CCW in the other hand you get +1 attack. The Wolf Claw is usually the smarter pickup though and if your using Storm Shields then the specialist weapon downside is a non factor.

Personally I like to run a TWC unit with a 2+ armor character (Iron Priest or Wolf Lord/Battle Leader) go in front tanking shots while I have the nearest model to him with a chainsword + Storm Shield model to look out sir AP2 or instant death attacks. Rest of the unit is filled out with the squad leader having a Wolf Claw + SS and while the 3rd is a Power Fist.+ pistol in the back. I tend to not run giant TWC blobs as I rather have multiple smaller units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8965362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705526/8965362.page GMT How would you equip a unit of Thunderwolf Cavalry?
