Space Wolves (13th Company) 1500pts HELP?

[St. Veratis]

Hey all, a bit new to this forum (Some of ya'll will notice I've done some Black Templar stuff; but my Warhammer ADD has kicked in)

I want the list to be fun, slightly competitive n stickin' to the fluff n this is what I came up with for a 1500 point list:

 

Wold Lord

- Dual Wolf Claws

- Thunderwolf Mount

- 2 Fenrisian Wolves

- Belt of Russ

- Saga of the Warrior Born

- Saga of the Wolfkin

15 Fenrisian Wolves

 

Wolf Priest

- Saga of the Hunter

- Meltabombs

10 Grey Hunters (Slayers)

- Flamer

- Meltagun

- Power Axe

- Mark of the Wulfen

 

Rune Priest

- Runemaster

- Chooser of the Slain

- Living Lightning

- Storm Caller/Tempests Wrath

10 Grey Hunters (Slayers)

- 2 Plasma Guns

- Power Axe

- Mark of the Wulfen

 

10 Wolf Scouts

- 3 Meltabombs

- Meltagun

- Power Weapon (Undecided)

- Mark of the Wulfen

 

6 Long Fangs

- 3 Missile Launchers

- 2 Lascannons

 

Lone Wolf

- Mark of the Wulfen

- Meltabombs

- 2 Fenrisian Wolves

 

STRATEGY (i.e Wishful Thinking): The hope is to get the Wolf Lord into combat, it's what he's born to do. A lot of points sunk into this model to make him survivable n lethal n Close Combat; the Wolves are more of a meatshield than anythin'.

The Runepriest n his Squad will either sit back on an object, or follow the Wolf Lord n give his squad the 5+ Cover n also provide fire support.

The Long Fangs do what they do best. Sit back n shoot at everythin'. Simple enough.

The Wolf Scouts are my tank bustin' unit as well as situated for anti-infantry.

Same with the Wolf Priest n his squad. Thanks the the Saga Hunter rule he n his unit can outflank n will focus more on anti-infantry n assassination.

 

The idea is like a massive pincer (Or wolf jaw if you prefer) 2 units close in from the front while 2 come in from the back. Space wolves are extremely versatile.

I want to stick to the fluff though, so this means an infantry based list. No tanks, no walkers n no Terminators.

 

Any thoughts?

A few notes:

Your wolf lord can only have 1 saga sadly.

I would take 1 PF and 1 WC over 2xWC - gives you a lot more flexabillity

 

Your Lone wolf is going to die pretty quick - normally he is put to best use in a Terminator Armor and with a Storm Shield.

 

Wolf Scouts are not worth it in 6th edition - since they can't charge after outflank. Better to exchange them for more long fangs.

 

I know this goes a bit against the fluff you are looking for - but I would try get red of the scouts, or make the squad smaller, and outfit them with a lot of plasma gun + pistols: which can net you 4 plasma shots.

Since I just woke up, I'll let someone else explain why, but scouts aren't worthless in 6e. Their role has simply changed. The way the OP has them equipped may not be the best for 6e, but they're far from worthless.

Double-check the Scout entry- believe you have to upgrade all to get Meltabombs, if you want any. You can't just take 3 for those 10 guys.

 

Someone else already mentioned 1 Saga per customer,

I'd suggest you drop Saga of the Warrior Born (he still gets a ton of S5 attacks) - and don't take the Power Weapon on your Scouts, yes you do have to take Melta Bombs for ALL the pack, would be nice if it was individual but ahwell :(

Otherwise a decent list - though I'd take two smaller Scout packs...
