Okay, a sample 1850 space wolves list using drop podding grey hunters and ML long fang spam, you're looking at:
3x Longfangs of 5 ML and sargeant, 140 a piece
2xRune Priest 110 points each
5x Grey Hunters, 6 a piece, special weapon, and a drop pod 130
5 Wolf Guards, combi special, power fist 215 (join grey hunters)
3 land speeders with 2 heavy bolters each 180
6 wolf guard, each with a combi weapon in a drop pod 173
18 KP
I could see a razorback spam list easily breaking 20 KP
A sample 1850 mech guard list:
company command with plasma spam, astropath, officer of fleet, in a chimera 235
Plantoon command squad with 3 flamers and a heavy flamer in a chimera 120
3x Infantry Squad with a autocannon in a chimera 115 each
2x veterans with 3 melta guns 100 each
2x vendetta 130 each
manticore 160
A unit of 2 hyrdras 150
A unit of 2 medusas 270
Allied GH inquisitor with hood, tarot, 2 mystics, 2 hierophants 83
again, 18 KP
These two builds are in my opinion the top or near to the top builds in their respective codexes.
The other thing to note is the ease at which it is to kill their units, get a side shot on a chimera, it's AV 10 so you pen and explode it, the squad inside loses a quarter of the men and run off the board. Space wolves, if you have any outflankers their long fangs are a squad of 6 basic space marines, and their drop pods, they are throwing armour 12 open topped vehicles on your side of the board for anyone to kill!
