Two unique Long Fang combinations

[HERO]

2 groups of 6x Long Fangs with 5x ML each for 280 points or..

1 group of 6x Long Fangs with 5x ML, a Wolf Guard Terminator with Cyclone ML, next to a Razorback with TLLC for 273 points.

 

First one gives me 10 missiles. Second one gives me 7 Missiles and a TLLC.

 

First one has a total of 12 bodies whereas the second gives me 7 bodies (one in TDA) and a vehicle to use should the WGT dies. (what happens to the WGT if the Long Fangs wanna hitch a ride)

 

My group plays with a lot of MCs, twin Raider and mechanized lists.

What I would take depends entirely on my opponent. If I'm playing against bugs, the first choice seems juicier.

I would probably go for the second choice if I'm expecting to face a mechanised list.

 

The WGT would be nice for the 2+ save, but don't forget the other 4 Wolf Guards you need to get a CML. That's incidentally an issue for me these day, I often just can't find the points for them.

If you expect to face lots of armour/LRs, then maybe swapping 3 MLs for LCs and get both LF squads RBs with TLLCs...

The WGT is a part of the unit; he has been assigned to lead them. The Long Fang unit cannot embark unitl the WGT is dead, as models in Terminator Armour cannot be transported in Razorbacks (or Rhinos, of course). There is also the limitation of transport capacity, but when the WGT is gone (first requirement), then the second requirement is automatically met.
