Email in: Space Wolves for C&C

"Hi Kerby,

Can you do a bit of C&C on my Space Wolves list, it's been a couple of weeks so I thought I'd better get you something to have a look at :). It's a 1750 point list by the way.

I've used this list once, victory to the wolves versus a sisters army, so here
goes:


Rune Priest, Wolftooth Necklace, Wolf Tail Talisman, Chooser of the Slain -
125pts

Wolf Guard (x4), Combi-Melta, Powerfist (1x Melta Bombs) - 177

Wolf Scouts x 5, Melta Gun (WG w/PF+CM+MB) - 85pts

Grey Hunters x 9, Melta Gun, Wolf Standard, Rhino (WG w/PF+CM) - 185pts

Grey Hunters x 9, Melta Gun, Wolf Standard, Rhino (WG w/PF+CM) - 185pts

Grey Hunters x 8, Melta Gun, Wolf Standard, Rhino (WG w/PF+CM + Rune Priest) -
170pts

Thunderwolf Cavalry x 3, Storm Shield, Melta Bombs - 185pts

Landspeeder Multi Melta, Heavy Flamer - 70pts

Landspeeder Multi Melta, Heavy Flamer - 70pts

Long Fangs x 5, 4 x Missile Launcher, Razorback w/TL Plasma Guns+Lascannon -
190pts

Long Fangs x 5, 4 x Missile Launcher, Razorback w/TL Plasma Guns+Lascannon -
190pts

Long Fangs x 5, 4 x Missile Launcher - 115pts

1747 pts total.

Not to sure what to do to improve this, I could strip down the Rune Priest and take the melta bombs off the Wolf Guard to get a frost blad/axe on the Thunderwolf Cavalry, other than that no idea.

I'd be interested in how you'd cut back to 1500 or ramp up to 2k as well.

Feedback is greatly appreciated (as is your blog, keep up the good work).

cheers, Doug"


Overall the list is fine. I think the TWC could use a Wolf Claw and you don't need the Wolf stuff on the Priest but otherwise solid. The one thing I might recommend is taking one of the Grey Hunter squads and splitting it to make two smaller squads. Only three scoring options, whilst durable, limits you just a little bit without combat squads. Taking it down to 1500 I'd probably drop the TWC and trim back on the Grey Hunter numbers (1 per squad) whilst for 2000 another large (or two small) Grey Hunter squads + a LasPlas RBack fro the 3rd Fang Squad would be the best bets.

You may also get more mileage out of running a Wolf Lord/Battle Leader on TWC Mount and 1-2 TWC rather than the squad of TWC.
