"Hey Kirby,
I'm a newbie to WH40k and I started to collect SWs. After my first games with my 1000 points army I realized that I need to improve and I found assistance in your blog (thanks for that it's great!). From the tons of stuff I read by now in your blog's posts and the general advice on 5th edition gameplay, I made up this first list that I think is the first serious list I wrote. I still think it could need improvement so I ask for your advice.
Best,
Phil

Hey Phil. Very solid list and the only change I would make is to give the WGBL 'bodyguard' puppies. One can easily be gained by dropping the combi-melta but hard to find the points for the second one. Could drop one of the combi-meltas on the Wolfguard as well but not as necessary there. The puppies help the WGBL suck up PFist attacks by being deployed in front of him and accepting charges but otherwise a 'classic' and very solid example of Hybrid Wolves.
