2000 pt Mechanized Force, looking for comments

[wolf363839]

I have had good success with army builds similar to the one below, but always looking for comments and advice. In my small gaming group, we adjust the army build for each enemy, but below is my current idea of what my all-comers list should be:

 

HQ:

Ragnar Blackmane

 

TROOPS:

3 x Grey Hunter Packs - each with 10 Grey Hunters, free flamer, free meltagun, Wolf Standard, Power Weapon (or MotW)

all mounted in Rhinos with extra armor

 

1 x Grey Hunter Pack - 10 Grey Hunters, free flamer, free meltagun, Wolf Standard, Power Weapon

led by Wolf Guard with pair of Wolf Claws and meltabombs

mounted into Land Raider Redeemer along with Ragnar

 

1 x Grey Hunter Pack - 5 Grey Hunters, free flamer

led by Wolf Guard with Power Fist

mounted in Razorback with twin-linked Lascannon

 

HEAVY SUPPORT:

2 x Long Fang Packs - each with 2 missile launchers, plasma cannon, and 2 lascannons

each led by a Wolf Guard with storm bolter (added meat shield)

 

Land Raider Redeemer with multi-melta and extra armor

That's fairly solid. I question how effective extra armor is in 5th since there are far fewer chances for a vehicle to get stunned for the 60 odd pts you are spending. I'm also a big fan of putting a Wolf Priest in with Ragnar to maximize the number of attacks that hit. Also, powerfists... many of your squads will be in trouble against walkers, MC, Wraithlords, etc. If not fists then consider MoTW.
