Space Wolves

I found some 500 point proposals for Space Wolves 500 point armies on a discussion forum called dakadaka (or something like that). Apologies for my newbieness and apologies for not being able to attribute my design appropriately.

I hybridized the two with some advice from a third and here is my 500 point Space Wolves Army.

HQ: Rune Priest with Living Lightning and Tempest Wrath(100 pts)

Troops One: Grey Hunters x5 with Melta Gun (80 pts)

Transport One: Razorback with Twin Linked Assault Cannons (75 pts)

Troops Two: Grey Hunters x5 with Melta Gun (80 pts)

Transport Two: Razorback with Twin Linked Assault Cannons (75 pts)

Heavy Support: Long Fang x4 with 3x Missile Launcher (90 points)

Basic operational idea: team the Rune Priest with the Heavy Support Unit. The two troop units to push forward and to take objective; Long Fang in support.

To be honest, I think this spends too much on the Razorback Transports. They will die early, but at least there is two of them so it should take a couple of turns.

Space Wolf Option Two

A min/max missile launcher spam approach, might look like this:

HQ: Rune Priest with Living Lightning and Tempest Wrath(100 pts)

Troops One: Grey Hunters x5 with Meltagun (80 pts)

Troops Two: Grey Hunters x5 with Meltagun (80 pts)

Heavy Support: Long Fang x5 with 4x Missile Launcher (115 points)

Heavy Support: Long Fang x5 with 4x Missile Launcher (115 points)

Total: 490 points

This leaves 10 points for minor enhancements. To be honest, the Grey Hunters' Meltaguns are not need given the two Long Fang units. Removing the Meltaguns leaves 20 points to play with.

I find the above set-up hard to beat. I think it is the one I would play as a Space Wolf. However, finding all the necessary Missile Launcher bits to build this micro army will be extremely difficult, or extremely expensive $$$-wise.
