Just bought codex, first list that I've made, looking to beef it up. Since I've never played with the wolves before, not sure what the weak links are, or what i need more of.

Wolf Lord

I would not give him Mark of the wulfen. It replaces his frost blade, so he would never get the strenght boost or the power weapon benefit. Also, you have a good chance of rolling fewer attacks than he gets without the mark.

x10 wolf scout pack

This pack is too big. Cut it back to 6 models, or maybe 8

wolf scouts x10

You have too many good "Elite" choices to use up two slots for scouts. They only have a 4+ save! Get some wolf guard, or a lone wolf.

Dread nought 105
AS DCCW

What weapons here? Assault Cannon? Good weapon there.

x10Grey hunters pack

You only have 2 Troop choices which is not enough. You need a minimum of three and in 2000 points many use 4 or more. Plus you are delivering these guys on a platter in turn one using the drop pod. One drop pod goes against conventional wisdom (I often use just one though...) I prefer to have 3 of them. One more thing. Your guy with a power fist only get's one attack after the charge or counter-charge. It is very easy to whiff that. Give him a power sword instead, so with his pistol he will get at least 2 attacks. Other than that, this is a good unit.

x15 Blood claws
Land raider crusader
1449

These guys need a power weapon and maybe a plasma pistol, but without a leader attached you are pretty much wasting points on a rapid fire weapon. I actually recommend putting a wolf priest with these guys, or at the very minimum a wolf guard. Give the wolf guard a power fist and if you want a special gun then use an assault weapon, not a rapid fire weapon. I prefer a flamer. These guys are anti-infantry!!

x6 long fangs
1844

These long fangs are quite expensive the way they are armed. I would drop the lascannons in favor of missile launchers. Also, I would take the power fist away from the squad leaders. Theses guys should not be in assault. SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT faster!!

Sky claw x7
Just bought codex, first list that i've made, looking to beef it up. Since i've never played with the wolves before, not sure what the weak links are, or what i need more of.

Sky claws rock but without a character with them, the upgraded gun is a waste of points. Did you know they can't shoot if they are in charge range because of a special rule they have?

I recommed more troops, fewer scouts, a RUNE PRIEST, maybe a wolf priest, and some wolf guard. Re-examine Mark of the Wulfen and think again about to whom you should give it. I think it is great for Grey Hunters or Lone Wolfs.

Hello there, Murdoc_Cain.

First, welcome to LO. Feel free to contact either myself or another moderator if you have any questions. Second, it's copyright infringement to include individual point costs of models and/or upgrades. You can, however, include the total point costs of a squad or an individual model, if it comprises a squad (such as a chaos oblit).

Finally, we post all army list threads in the respective army list sub-section, which can be accessed at the top of each armys' home page. No worries. I've since moved your thread and deleted all point costs.

Welcome to LO

Ah i love the new codex, a lot of what i have to say 4theEmperor has already said, but i have some bits of my own to add.

Wolf Lord
Frost blade storm shield runic armor mark of the wulfen
saga of the warrior born

As 4the Emperor said, drop the mark of the wulfen, personally i'd be tempted to drop the storm shield and get the belt of russ for this guy, yeha you're invuln save gets 1 worse but you gain an extra attack.

x10 wolf scout pack
x4 melta bombs melta gun x1 plasma pistol x1 power weapon

Not to bad, i tend to like my full size squads, though i'd probably drop the plasma pistol for another power weapon (gets hot and a 4+ not isn't great), 2 power weapons and 10 of them can be a pretty big threat to infantry units.

wolf scouts x10
sniper rifles x8 ML 1 bolt gun

Not sure about these guys, had mixed experiances with snipers, either kit them out like the other squad or drop them i say, get some wolf guard.

Dreadnaught 105
AS DCCW

Can never go wrong with this, pity he isn't in a drop pod though, makes a good bodyguard for the long fangs i guess.

x10Grey hunters pack
x2 plasma gun (or FL PG) PF
drop pod

Nice squad, don't usualy like PF's on models with 1 base attack, seems like a waste to me, if you drop the scouts give these guys a pf wielding wolf guard pack leader and swap their pf for a power weapon.

x15 Blood claws
flamer plasma gun
Land raider crusader
multi-melta 1449

forget the special shooting weapons, you want these guys charging and if they're in charge range they can't shoot, get them a power weapon instead Or get them a wolf guard pack leader and 2 flamers.

x6 long fangs
PF
x2 heavy bolter 10 x3 lascannon

Expensive squad, maybe swap it around to 3 H bolters and 2 Las cannons?

x6 long fangs
PF
x2ML X3 Plasma Cannon 1844

Same swap the ratio to 3 launchers and 2 cannons, i run an identical squad and i LOVE them. Drop the pfs on both squads though.

Sky claw x7
mark of the wolfen PF Melta Gun

Can never go wrong here, drop the meltagun though, can't shoot it if they're in assault range (which they should be) Or use the points from the sniper scout squad and give these guys a wolf priest and swap the meltagun for a flamer (you want them killing infantry not tanks, and anyway BS 3 meltaguns aren't great).

Just a my 2 cents hope it helps.

[Torden]

I would agree with a few points:

BC in the LRC: you want these guys assaulting troops. Take the free flamers

Long Fangs: no need to PF, if these guys get assaulted its just 6 grey hunters. Just make sure to deploy them apart enough to avoid getting both into combat from flankers, but close enough to provide cross-fire should one get wiped.

Do not care too much for snipers myself either, I would drop for a base GH unit to hold objectives on your side. You only have 2 scoring units with all those points!
