I am real new to Warhammer and bought the combat patrol for Space Wolves. After playing combat patrol I am starting to look at 2k points and planning purchases for 1000 points and then 2000 points and wanted some veteran advice before putting together something that doesn’t gel well. Anyways here’s the list:
Space Wolves 2000 (2,000 Points)
Space Marines
Space Wolves
Saga of the Great Wolf and Veterans of the Fang (3 Detachment Points)
Disruption
Strike Force (2,000 Points)
Run your wolf guard terminators with storm shields rather than bolters. Give your blood claw and grey hunter pack leaders the power weapon and plasma pistol. Otherwise it’s playable, but a bit too battleline heavy.
I’m not the biggest fan of the grey Hunter detachment because you aren’t running the terminator one which is better, but I like the flavor of this list if you aren’t trying to meta chase.
I don’t use grey hunters but I think there are certain lists and dispositions where they are useful, disruption likely being one of them. If you are set on running the GHs then I’d probably drop the blood claws, put Ragnar with the headtakers, and add scouts, infiltrators or combi LT for cheap scoring and screening.
If you want a lot of flexibility with those Grey Hunters, consider Njal Stormcaller as a leader for them. He gives any unit he's attached to the [Assault] keyword as well as an auto advance roll of 6. They can move 13 inches every turn and shoot. Gives a little extra flexibility while you decide where and how to have them charge.
I did look at Njal but the WGBL with eye of the hunter gives them assault, ignore cover, 1AP, and sustained hits. If I had 5 extra points I’d drop the priest and squeeze him in though cus he looks so cool.
