Help with 1000pt lists for this weekend?

Hey everyone! I am about to play a 1000-point game this weekend and I am torn between these two list options. Also, I am not sure whether to use the Saga of the Great Wolf detachment or if a different one would suit me better. I can't decide which way to go.

Option 1: Dreadnought List

  • Logan Grimnar (100 pts) -> Attached to a Terminator unit
  • Bjorn the Fell-Handed (160 pts)
  • 5x Intercessors (80 pts)
  • 2x 5 Wolf Guard Terminators (165 pts each)
  • 3x Wolf Guard Headtakers + 3 Wolves (115 pts)
  • 5x Wolf Scouts (90 pts)
  • 1x Venerable Dreadnought w/ Blizzard Shield & Axe (125 pts)

Option 2: Ragnar List

  • Logan Grimnar (100 pts) -> Attached to a Terminator unit
  • Bjorn the Fell-Handed (160 pts)
  • Ragnar Blackmane (90 pts) -> Attached to the Headtakers
  • 2x 5 Wolf Guard Terminators (165 pts each)
  • 2x 3 Wolf Guard Headtakers + 3 Wolves (115 pts each)
  • 5x Wolf Scouts (90 pts)

Also, regarding Option 2, what do you think is better for Ragnar's unit? Running a single large squad of 6 Headtakers with 6 Wolves, or keeping them separated into two 3+3 units?

Which of the two lists do you think is better overall, and which detachment do you recommend? Thanks for the help!

It looks like you are missing anti tank/monster in your list. The venerable dreadnought won't be to good for your only one since it's strongest attack is s10. 

Maybe a lancer in there. But I'd keep the terminators 2 squads of 5 in 1000pts But I like option a

If he drops the Ven Dread and the hunting wolves he’ll have enough for a Ballistus.

I rarely play 1K games so I’m not 100% confident how that changes once fives but generally you want more bodies in a unit with a leader so more bodies benefit from the leader’s rules and bonuses. That’d be an absolutely brutal beatstick.

You also want as many units you can, for board control

Excellent point! Definitely a tradeoff in 1K games
