I have a feeling that this list will be tabled less than your angelic blood angels.
It looks solid, although I'm not sure how good ferensian wolves are in 6e but I remember them being kind of poor in 5e

they're a cheap, fast cover save... that's it... paying under 100 points to screen my expensive wolf guard... (since most are power armored) Also Logan and the priest are with the multi-melta long fangs... which means that they're dropping in the back lines, making a 24" bubble amongst the opponent where psychic powers get stopped, and the long fangs are relentless because of Logan and can split fire... so likely the two biggest mech threats are down... or if I'm worried (landraider) they can all just fire into it... plus the combi from the priest of course... that plus 20 missiles / turn seems somewhat good... well til the helldrakes show up that is... lol....  |

Oh you're using them as fodder, they'll do that fine! The biggest criticisms I heard about them were their giant bases make hugging cover impossible and they usually spread out and get shot a bunch.
Didn't you offload some SW bits to Tom? "I'm never going to do spacewolves" or am I thinking of someone else?

Wow, I really like this list.
And guess who has most of these models for sale?
This guy. Just saying.

lol... I built this list based on your models Mike... I actually have to buy your stuff and Logan to run it... and bits... lots and lots of bits... lol.... nsc - yeah I didn't get enough or the specific space wolves in the trade I did to actually run the spacewolves I wanted to (logan-wing) so I gave what I had to Tom... basically shelving the idea... but those lists ideas never quite leave my brain... they're always there bugging me to do them.... |

I really like the MM LF idea I might still it from you when I run my Space Wolf version of my IH.

Hard list.
I don't know the SWs this edition. Can those solo termies do anything special?
How are you planning on using them?
How many points roughly do they represent?

the lone wolves are 2 wound, eternal warrior with a 2+/3++ and two ablative wolves to act as the first wounds to them, or help assist with a charge in.... they're fearless with feel no pain as well and WS5 when they get into combat, rerolling against MC's or anything with T5 or over... and they only give up a kill point if they LIVE in a KP game so you literally want to just smash them into close combat and actually HOPE they die! and if they're ignored, they have a chainfist wielding terminator smashing up things... so they have to devote some firepower to remove...
I think they're well worth it for 105 points kitted out as above... even if all they do is eventually meet the glorious death they're seeking - it's three squads that require the opponent to allocate a fair serious amount of firepower to remove...
no guns though... they're literally just walking forward with their fist raised up wanting to punch something!

I change my assessment. Sick sick list.
You are going to make people want to come to you with all those CMLs and then you get SW on a death march greeting you.
I think the RW list I want to do could deal with them well but not the other 2 DA lists I've been toying with.

Chaos should give me a run for my money... the have a crapton of AP3, not to mention the helldrake... plus their characters are better at combat... so would be an uphill battle... and you're right, ravenwing would be terrible to try and face due to the sheer mobility, high toughness, cover saves and crazy amounts of firepower...
so I realize this list will have an uphill battle against many, but hopefully will be at list mid-tier competitive so I can hold my own....

For shame, you let my MM drop pod squad out of the hat... Now everyone knows about it. Fun looking list as always, and if you really want those space wolves back I don't mind.  |

well I figured if I said it and built it first, no one else could copy it right? lol.... well it's actually a load out on the big space wolves blog as one of the recommended places to put logan... so I guess great minds think alike eh Tom? .... me, I just blatantly stole the idea from Tom |
