Email in: Scaling Down [Space Wolves]

"Hey Kirby,

Been a follower of the blog for a while. Was wondering how you think I could effectively scale down my 2k Space Wolf list to 1850 or 1750. Here is the 2k list:

HQ
Wolf Lord - Thunderwolf, Belt of Russ, 2xLC, Wolftail Talisman, 2x Wolves
Rune Priest - Chooser, LL, JotWW

Elite
Scouts x5 - Meltagun
Wolf Guard x3 - Combi-Melta, Power Fist

Troops
Grey Hunters x7 - Meltagun, MotW, Rhino
Grey Hunters x7 - Meltagun, MotW, Rhino
Grey Hunters x7 - Meltagun, MotW, Rhino
Grey Hunters x5 - Flamer, Las/Plas Razorback
Grey Hunters x5 - Flamer, Las/Plas Razorback

Fast
TWC x1 - Power Fist, SS
Land Speeder - MM/HF
Land Speeder - MM/HF

Heavy
Long Fangs x5 - 4 ML, Las/Plas Razorback
Long Fangs x5 - 4 ML, Las/Plas Razorback"

To 1850, drop one of the GH squads in the Rhinos (the extra Wolf Guard can go with the Scouts) and for 1750 do the same + lose the extra GHs, drop the extra Claw on the Wolf Lord (make it a Wolf Claw) and 1 LF each. Off the top of my head that drops the lists to around 1850 and 1750 respectively. I'd also recommend running the GH as either 10 men or 5 men at 2k for your Rhinos. If you run 10 men though you'd have to lose a squad overall to find the points but running 5 men would free up some points for ISTs/Scouts/LoneWolves/TWC/etc.
