1750 Space Wolves, first attempt at them Options

[backslide]

first go, my normal 40k armys are relictors (codex marines with a pair of raiders and vindis) and guard (I was playing mech a full year before the current dex) to change up my marined I got my hands a on bunch of old school razorbacks, and thinking rather than make the relitors bigger, grab some spares and add some more and do wolves (or BA I may wait for their codex)

I think they will end up white rather than that odd blue grey

first go was considering a 3rd long fang pack instead of the scouts

Should be a solid list. Hunter Spam is solid and they are all mechanised.

The only things that I could see being a problem is the lack of powerfists, there are three total in the list. I'd probably drop the scouts to make every power weapon into fists and buy the second long fang squad a razorback.

Also just a point, in KP missions you have quite a large total of 18 points, which could be a bit detrimental.

I see your point, I have done fine without them in my normal marines but they have termies and many less boots on the ground, I really don't want to spend 25 points for a 1A powerfist

agreed, I do tend to ignore/avoid kills points but I'll keep it in mind, fist list I have made in a long time that didn't have 2 land raiders and/or 2 vindicators!

I gather a 3rd long fang pack would be over the top, but they do look like a laugh, was thinking drop the fang razorback, and the scouts for a pair of dreds

Pair of dreads could be good fun, how were you thinking of kitting them out?

Also instead of the fist you could try Mark of the Wulfen, that way at least you have rending attacks.

multi melta for one and ass cannon for the other, its what I have currently, and its cheap, and don't think this list needs a fire support dred lol

if I can find the points those funky wolfy talasmen things would be good on them too

not a bad idea but wanted to keep the taint away from these lads and modeling it would be annoying

You could just paint tattoo's onto the face, which IIRC was mentioned in fluff as to how they would mark out the brothers who suffered with the curse.

that might work, thinking they will be Ice wolves anyway

an other thoughts on the list? that 3rd long fang pack is tempting even if it just has HB's
