I think you could say just about anything and it would be worthwhile having it..........the only exception would be swiftclaws, thunderwolf cav and canis wolfborn............for the point cost and the survivability of these they just arnt that worthwhile

 

I'd disagree regarding those two (excluding Canis). There are many people that have made those two units into massive lethal juggernauts charging around the tabletop. I have yet to find success with my swiftclaws, but I wouldn't say they're not worth the points. Skyclaws on the other hand....

Canis is the joke of the codex, but there is nothing at all wrong with either Swiftclaws or Thunderwolf Cavalry.

Never leave Fenris without... a Wolf priest (in runic armour).

 

Currently the linchpin of my army. On a bike, with a jump pack, on foot or with the claws in their crusader (or, more recently all four at once. It does work. Sometimes... :) ).

 

The spiritual re-assurance doesn't do any harm either... Too many ways you can be forced to take a leadership test these days. Even your 250 point thunderlord runs away sometimes... the wolf priest never lets you down.

 

Ever.

 

Competitively, I also agree on the wolf scout thought - I have only recently managed consistent competitive success against all-comers when I have taken scouts. Still alot of mech IG/leafblowers out there and without scouts you usually are in trouble.

To be fair, swift claws are not as good as they should be. Their best purpose is bodyguarding the leader, as any upgrade is expensive and the knock on WS, BS and strong headed just simply makes it a worse space marine biker. Though as a wolf lord bodyguard, it's fantastic. Heheh

 

Anyways, the only other thing I wouldn't leave Fenris without, is my Leman Russ. Pity I can't use it, may not be competative, but few things beat a tank of that beauty, and simplisty. XD

OK folks, let's keep the personal jabs out of this board. To the OP, you know you will get open ended and colorful responses to a thread like this. Just ignore what is not helpful and comment on the threads which provide you more substance based on your original request.
I find that the Thunderwolf cav gets hosed as soon as people see it

 

Are you not giving them shields? Or running them behind cover of your rhinos/terrain? My twc dies eventually, but not until taking out it's own points plus some.

 

Anyways I'm just glad to see at least one other wolf still believes in his dreadnoughts
