Beating a chaos 1000point army

[Alba]

Whaddup all, I'm in need of some advice from my wolf brothers. I'm going up against a 1000 point chaos marine army tonight and its full of cheese...

It is:

 

2 daemon princes both with lash

2 x 5 man chaos marines

3 x 3 obliterators

 

If its objectives then he's in trouble, but what can I do to take care of those heavy hitting units.

 

I was gonna field:

 

Rune Priest

3 x wolf guard - power fists and combi melta

3 x 8 grey hunters - melta, MOTW, wolf standard, rhino

1 x 6 long fangs - 5 missile launchers, razorback with twin linked lascannon.

 

It's nicked from the Space Wolves blog but I fancy trying it. What do you all think?

I don't know your play style but here is what I have been running.

 

HQ - Rune priest (stops his lash, murderous huricane will piss him off as will living lightning)

Elite - Dreadnaught/assault cannon (can't be lashed and can pop transports)

Elite - Dreadnaught/multi-melta (see above)

Troop - Grey hunters/2 plasma guns (great for holding objectives, Daemon Princes hate ap2, cheap at 160, put rune priest here)

Troop - Blood Claws (15)/power weapon,flamer,meltagun (240 points, hold them back and use to counter attack)

Fast - landspeeder/2 heavy bolters (kill those 5 man squads, 60 points, con pop rear armour)

Fast - landspeeder/2 heavy bolters (see above)

Heavy - long fangs/1 las, 4 missle (i think we all know why these guys are good, one thing though is that with this loadout everything is 48" range)

 

not sure if this will work for you but you get a lot of bang for your points.

also i tak 1 troop choice for every 500 points. not sure if this is how you roll.

hope this helps. :)

You can cheese right back by removing 1xGH unit and replacing it with a WG plasma bomb

 

Bunch of WG with 2xCombi-plasma each in a DP

Drop down behind or to the side of his main body of troops. Rapid fire.

 

If they come after you with some units then he has split his forces and you can focus on the rest of his army.

 

If he ignores you then follow them and rapid fire your second volley of plasma

Mmmm, that's some good cheese.

 

However, I suggest more long fangs. That way you can be sure to bring down the obliterators, and hopefully the daemon princes, before they can do any real damage. Alternatively, you can snipe his scoring units early.
