2000 Space Wolves List

[gauntinator]

I picked up bits and pieces of a space wolves army for pretty cheap and tried to make the best out of what I had. So this is what I cam up with. I'm hoping for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and suggestions. How should I play it (haven't played marines in a while), what units are good at what, etc? I play mostly friendly games so winning isn't everything--its just more fun than losing ;D

HQ

Wolf Lord #1 (term armor, wolf claws x2, belt of russ, saga of bear, wolf tooth, wolf tail)

Wolf Lord #2 (same as #1)

Rune Priest (term armor, living lightning, JOTWW)

Elites

Wolf Guard #1(x7) (all with terminator armor)
2 with pairs of wolf claws
1 with wolf claw + storm shield
1 with frost ax + storm shield
1 with thunder hammer + storm shield
1 with assault cannon + chain fist
1 with mark of the wulfen

Wolf Guard #2(x6) (all with terminator armor)
2 with power fists
1 with power fist + cyclone missile launcher
1 with chain fist
1 with thunder hammer + storm shield
1 with power weapon

Troops

Grey Hunters #1(x10) (wolf standard, melta gun, power weapon)
Grey Hunters #2(x8) (same as Grey Hunters #1)

Rhino APC

Drop Pod (death wind missile launcher)

Heavy Support

Land Raider Crusader (storm bolter, hunter-killer missile, multi-melta, extra armor)

All together it equals roughly 2000 points. A little under. The #1 wolf lord would be attached to #1 Wolf Guard. The #2 Wolf Lord would be with the #2 Wolf Guard along with the rune priest. Wolf lord #1 and his squad of terminators would take the land raider for transport. The grey huntes #1 would be in the rhino and #2 in the drop pod.

So yeah, suggestions and general or specific tactics would be much appreciated. Thanks Hive.

Gah, my post was deleted soemhow.

One thing comes to mind and that is that Wolf Lords can't wear the same equipment as they are far to individualistic to succumb to such unimaginative tricks, haha.

Other than that it looks solid - Wolf Guards is a pain to fight, but the list might be low on Troops. It may just be that as a Tyranid player I always have 5/6 selected, but I think some more scoring units would do the trick.

Wolf Guard Assault Termies aren't great as they cost a full 15-20pts more than their vanilla counterparts with only Counter Attack to show for it. I'd trim them down a great deal or just go with another codex if you want a Terminator based army. Bare bones is best with Space Puppies.

Grey Hunters pull a lot of weight in a SW army and at 2,000 points, you're probably going to want more than two squads. PF Wolf Guards would fit in nicely as well if you're planning to take Wolf Guard Terminators anyway.

The list's biggest weakness in lack of anti-tank. Wolf Scouts, Long Fangs, Predators, Land Speeders or Razorbacks can remedy this quite easily.

In short, more numbers and more ranged AT weaponry.

Inquisitor Stingray: Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that rule. haha I guess I'll have to change that. I do need more troops choices. I'm going to get Logan Grimnar soon so all my wolf guard count as troops Pull the old switch-a-roo.

Geneva: I get what you're saying about bare bones is better and I need more of them. The thing is I dislike poxing stuff so I built the list around what was actually on them when I got them. When I get more I'll defiantly make them plain. Does PF mean power fists? Cause I prefer to be able to attack before or at least at the same time as my opponent. I usually face space marine or eldar armies with a tone of power weapons at initiative 4. Could you explain why PF's are a good choice? What would you recommend as the cheapest yet still effective anti-tank choice?

[Inquisitor Stingray]

Long Fangs are definetely good for dealing out a (please do not swear)load of tank bustin' artillery. I second the Powerfists as viable on Terminators, because the Termies can usually survive long enough to hit back, but considering that you're not facing T6 Monsters like Tyranids, they may not really be that important. I guess a normal Power Weapon will do the trick then.
