http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k and playing the Space Wolves and I am wondering what would be good alongside my current unit list for kill team and for larger point games.

For Kill team I am using 3x Thunder wolf cavalry with bolt pistols and chain swords
4x Grey hunters with bolt rifles
1X Grey hunter pack leader with chain sword and bolt pistol

200 points total

I have played several games with this setup and have been pleased with the results. I currently have a box of 5 Wulfen un-built, a box of 3 thunder wolf cavalry un-built, and 5 more infantry from the Space Wolves infantry box that are un-built (originally 10 in the box but I already used up 5 to make the Grey Hunters), and 6 freebee infantry units that were given to me that are built but unpainted with bolt rifles.
So I want to upgrade these un-built units to be competitive in 1k and bigger point games. Any ideas what might be viable? Thank you before hand for the assistance. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8968008.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8968008.page GMT
Your kill team looks good. It's hard to really give out too many upgrades in kill team games like storm shields for your TWC but it would make them incredibly hard to kill with a 3+/3++ save.

I would say you've got the makings of a small 1k list with what you have so far. You can run the Wolves Unleashed formation, Company of the Great Wolf, or a CAD. I would highly recommend getting a rune priest as your HQ especially at 1k games. Try roughing out a list at 1k and we can try to critique it for you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8969449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8969449.page GMT
Furthermore, if you can go down to 2 thunderwolves (I don't know how many points they are), maybe you can get a Rhino for the Grey Hunters? Vehicles are insanely good in killteam, especially if you put a heavy weapon in them, give him relentless as a specialist, and watch people squirm.

Hope that helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8970252.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8970252.page GMT
For the 1k list, id like to have to hot drop my wulfen into the enemies rear while my main force hits from the front. I'm at a toss up for using 3 drop pods for wulfen and two infantry to support them, or maybe add bjorn the fel handed with the wulfen. And the amp up the thunder wolves to smash them. Id also want a whirlwind for artillery. But this is just the mere etchings of a 1k point list and will be a thread for another day once I have it all written out.

But I have a question, what would be in you all's opinion the best equipment to equip on thunderwolves? On the three unbuilt ones I want some really good equipment since the ones that I have on my kill team are just bolt pistol and chain sword.

OH and what is you all's opinion on the stormwolf transport?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8972891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8972891.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8973778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8973778.page GMT TH/SS and 2 frost claws.

I have used that and the 3++ provided by the storm shield is amazing, and the two frost claws will most likely kill whatever is necessary before the Thunderhammers get to attack so missing out on extra frost claws isn't too bad.

I recommend building the rest of the Grey hunters with the two plasma guns provided in the kit, as Grey hunters can take two if their squad size is ten and I personally think that is a very strong option.

Additionally, I like Thunderwolf Calvarly with all SS and Wolf claw but outfit them to taste as they are really good with anything.

Happy wargaming!

I will most certainly put the storm shields on the un opened box of thunderwolves and I will kit my wulfen with the frost claws, thunder hammers and storm shields.

Next question, what is everyone's opinion on the stormwolf and the stormfang?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8975119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705716/8975119.page GMT
The stormfang brings even more hurt, and it'll do some serious damage.

They aren't amazing but they are still quite good, especially in a fluffy or not-super-competetive list.

The stormwolf is IMO the better option, but if you want something to disrupt the enemy backlines then a drop pod is much cheaper and a bit better. I like the stormwolf for filling the role of a flying landraider with a bit more firepower.

Just my $0.02
