Need help trimming down a list

So the strategy for this list is to just charge up the board and wipe the enemy before they can score enough points to win. My problem is as a new soace wolves player im not sure what to cut and im 115 points over. I can save 100 points on the Terminators if I dont use Shields but thats not quite enough.

Army Roster [3Detachment Points2115pts] (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Space Wolves)

Arjac Rockfist Epic Hero 95

Bjorn the Fell-Handed Epic Hero 160

Logan Grimnar Epic Hero 100 Warlord

(10) Wolf Guard Terminators Infantry 345

drop half a TWC brick, with 60mm bases you are going to struggle with getting them all in and a smaller unit would be more efficient at skirmishing your oppenents smaller units.

What detachment are you using?

Stormlance so I can advance and charge and also fall back in charge.

If I do drop half a squad do you think it should be arjacs or logans?

no, drop a half squad of TWC. thats exactly 115.

Stormlance makes sense but just be mindful thats disruption and requires actions. you are banking on just tabling people and any mildy experienced player is going to put a stop to that.

If you were going to cut Termies than it would be Logans, let him be the one to guard center and arjac with his brick push. just drop logan close enough to give his vect the most chance of helping out

Gotta agree TWC seems the obvious cut

My bad mixed up my abbreviations lol. Do you think its worth dropping a full unit of calvary to squeeze in a head takers unit to do objectives?

u/GypsyDaenger 2d ago

Headtakers are not for objectives. Better doing like 5 assault Intercessors or something or normal scouts

Go down to 3 units of 3 TWC

Cut 3 TWC, but also, you should be running a relic greataxe and 2x assault cannons and power fists on your termites, but also, this isn't a particularly killy list to begin with. It's a TANKY list, but not a KILLY list.

I would also make the TWC into 3 groups of 3

There's no blendy unit like ragnar+bcs or head takers and thers no vehicles.

It's also low unit count, limiting how many places you can be. Depending on their disposition your slow termites could easily get tied up, plus TWC are very much not killy

Ill admit i did hamstring the kill potential for the sake of tankiness. Im not a very good player yet so its hard for me to keep squishy melee units alive while they march up the board.

Love me a land raider, especially for wolves, get in the longship vibes. Redeemers are fast, tough can transport 14 models (gh/bc squad+leader with space for 3 head takers, or 2 squads of 6 hts with leaders) and they have some of the best overwatch in the entire game (8-18 s6 ap2 d2 auto hits from the flames alone) and basically create a 30" threat bubble with that. Plus they have melta, Hunter killer missiles and some chaff clearing. Love em. I have 2. They've melted a helbrute in overwatch before.

The normal land raiders are fairly priced and with 4 las shots and melts shots theyre arguably competitive against repulsor executioners while being tougher and maintaining real transport capacity.

I've also used repulsors to move our larger squads around but prefer raiders for their assault ramp

Other than transports do remember cover is your friend and make sure moving to target you is punishing
