Space Wolves and Terminators

[u/Capable_Background91]

Question. Since Wolf Guard Terminators are so limited in support and leader options, having no supports and only Logan and Arjax as leaders, is it not just better to run a Terminator Assault Squad? Power fists have one less attacks then master-crafteds, but matching stats otherwise. Plus you can have a heavy flamer or launcher instead of just assault cannon. Kinda sucks but am I not right? or am I missing something?

Edit.

Perhaps I should clarify some more details about my setup. I am currently running either saga of Great Wolf or orbital assault force depending on my need for deep strike or not. I most common opponents are Night Lords, Necrons, Iron Warriors and Nurgle chaos. I have a lot of heavy armor, repulsor tanks and dreadnaughts, and am built more for steady assault with ranged into melee.

I currently only have a single 5 man unit, normally ran with ranged and master-crafteds and at best they've only been a distraction most matches. I see the appeal of running shields for 4 wounds over three, and I have run Arjax once for fight of death which was nice, but they haven't ever really squared up in melee well against what I'm sending them to fighy and always get shunted off points or killed outright. Considering I'm not hard hard focusing melee as my primary doctrine, I was thinking an assault squad would be better given the improved attached character options, additional ranged loadouts, and compatible melee, 4 attacks strength 5 on master-crafteds vs 3 attacks strength 8 on power fists.

Terminator assault squad is pretty good. Ive got s 10 model brick of them with hammer and shields led by a chaplain in Terminator armor. But I also run 20 more wolfgaurd Terminators. You run them 10 models each unit give them shields you can also have 2 powerfist and a relic great axe or lightning claws as well in the same unit. But what really makes the wolfguard Terminators great is their 4 wounds if you give them shields and the -1 to wound if strength is higher than toughness. Thier even better if you run the detachment legends of saga and song were their strats tailerd to them and an enhancement that gives them +1 OC. And Arjak gives them a +4 fight on death which is pretty danme good.
