Evening all,
Here is a Space Wolf list I've used to reasonably good effect. (though with a few tweaks)

Ragnar Blackmane
Wolf Guard Battle Leader with Frost Blade, Melta Bombs
3 Wolf Guard with 2 Power Fists
8 Grey Hunters with Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Banner, Power Weapon
8 Grey Hunters with Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Banner, Power Weapon
Land Speeder with 2 Multimeltas
Land Raider
Land Raider
6 Long Fangs with 2 Lascannon, 3 Heavy Bolters

The entire role of this list is to shove the two squads of Grey Hunters along with attached Wolf Guard and HQ straight down your opponent's throat. Ragnar is a combat monster and backed up by a kitted out squad he can maul most opponents. The two land raiders charge forward with their infantry cargo whilst the long fangs and land speeder try to clear out any obstacles or pop transports. Once the land raiders reach the enemies lines they drop 20 angry space wolves right into the thick of it.

I can see this list having a problem with hordes, but against other marine armies and other small, elite forces it can cause a lot of damage.

I like this army I am have tempted to make by World Eater list count as this list... the only thing that stops me is the fact that I have worked so hard using the Blood Angel dex to do them I just hate to change at this point... that said I like the option... I really think you may have trouble if you get put on your back foot early in the game...

This is why you have so few friends Prim. :lol:
Too bad if someone pops manages to pop your landies.

It does look nasty - hey, two Land Raiders at 1500 IS nasty (but, 3 is too many, right?). How about your number of scoring units? I understand they are pretty well protected in Land Raiders, but is two scoring units enough? That`s the only thing that would make me nervous about using it.

It really is an Alpha Strike list. You point it at the enemy, and against most folks, if you reach them intact they're dead.
Yes, it is low on scoring units and high on cheddar. That said, both the wolf players took an absolute kicking at NagoyaHammer so I figured that this might show them a different way to play.

Two wins, one draw and two loses is hardly a kicking. My list might have weaknesses but in the last mission, it was the objectives that caused so much problems. I had to park my land raider redeemer and my terminators on an objective in the middle of an eldar shooting gallery instead of up there ripping out their throats. Painful experience but I walked away with a decisive win.

As for this list, as others have pointed out, it's a rough an tumble list. For me, it's too one dimensional for my tastes.
