so without further ado...

HQ

wolf lord, sm bike, frost blade, wolf tooth neckless, belt of russ, melta bombs
170pts

+++ down-grade to a wolf guard battle leader;
a) cheaper
b) only 2 wounds means you can never give-up half VP's, unlike the 3W wolf lord...
c) IC's are never scoring units so in a competitive list, try and cut as many corners with them as possible!+++


rune priest, rune staff, power weapon, wolf pelt
123pts

+++ add-on a chooser of the slain. a terrific little piece of wargear for messing up your opponent's plans of say, trying to infiltrate their entire army?!!+++

ELITES

5 wolf scouts, bolt pistols, ccw, and melta bombs.
1 wolf guard leader, thunder hammer, wolf tooth neckless, wolf pelt
153pts
tank hunter pure and simple. the wolf guard with thunder hammer should do some damage. if they need to they can assult an enemy unit too.
also if i need to shave points this is where it'll happen. i could loose 1 scout and switch the melta bombs for a melta gun and save 24 pts for spending else where.


+++ lose the bombs for a meltagun... you'll need it against skimmers as trying to hit them on 6's is never a good thing.+++

TROOPS

8 blood claws, krak grenades, 1 power weapon, 1 power fist,
1 wolf guard leader, power weapon, wolf pelt.
rhino, smoke luanchers, extra armour.
245pts

the rune priest will go here and use his psychic power to protect the blood claws until they can get into assult.

+++ in that case, drop 1 blood claw for scoring unit purposes... as you're sinking alot of pts into IC's & dedicated transports, you need to maximise all of your actual scoring units.
(keep in mind for example that blood angel and especially dark angel armies will have oodles of scoring units thanks to the 'combat squads' rule!)+++


6 grey hunters, bolter, ccw, 1 plasma gun, 1 power fist
razorback, twin heavy bolters, smoke launchers, extra armour
211pts

6 grey hunters, bolter, ccw, 1 plasma gun, 1 power fist
razorback, twin heavy bolters, smoke launchers, extra armour
211pts

the grey hunters will find forwards firing positions and dig in. if they need to they'll jump on an objective. the razor back has a twin heavy bolter to supliment the units anti infantry fire power as this is lacking in the rest of the force

FAST ATTACK

5 blood claw bikes, 1 melta gun, 1 power fist
1 wolf guard leader, sm bike, power weapon.
230pts
surprisingly, this is where the wolf lord will go i'll be expecting this formation to quickly get up a flank and disrupt the enemies heavy guns, allowing the transports to get into position. they also have some anti tank capacity thanks to the power fist and melta

+++ i wouldn't give a meltagun to a BS3 model... just trust to the wolf guard's melta bombs and the squad's power fists to handel any big gribblies.
i'd leave the wolf guard's power toy though - he's got the slightly better WS to take more advantage of his I4. the blood claws should stick to power fists though - as many as you can take!+++


land speeder tornado, multi melta, heavy flamer
75pts

land speeder tornado, multi melta, heavy flamer
75pts
i've given these guys a weapons outfit to fulfill dual roles. firstly to pop armour with the melta and then hoard control with the flamer

1493pts

feed back and tactical advice mandato.... er, i mean..welcome.
if possible, i'd try to add in a predator w/autocannon & heavy bolter sponsons. it's fairly cheap, and will help draw fire away from your transports & speeders... (considering that's 8, ap4 shots/turn!) plus, it can move 6"/turn an fire to full effect!

i think the main thing is going to be keeping your force together and attack a smaller portion of the enemy in one go. with such a low model count and few actual scoring units, you need to be careful about picking only the fights you can win hands down!

hope this helps,
cheers!
