He Guys,

Beeing drawns to the barbaric ways of the Wolves I started buying stuff without even thinking about tactics and the use in gaming. As always I'm drawn by the models for painting instead of gaming, but after finding a gamingclub in my city I want to start playing.

What do I think I need for playing a good fight :p

HQ
1 Wolflord Boltpistol, Frost Blade, Thunderwulf, Wolftooth Necklace
The Lord is beeing accompanied by the 10 wolves and move in combat as fast as possible
1 Battle leader Boltpistol, Frost Blade, Jump Pack
Goes with the Skyclaws
1 Battle leader Boltpistol, Frost Blade
Goes in the Rhino with the Hunters

Elite
1 Dreadnought Assault Cannon
3 Wolf Guards, Combi-Meltas, Power Weapon, 1 Powerfist
Going with the troop units

Troops
5 Grey Hunters Boltpistol, Bolter, Meltagun, Wolf Standard
1 Razorback Twin Linked Lascannon

5 Grey Hunters Boltpistol, Bolter, Meltagun, Wolf Standard
1 Razorback Twin Linked Lascannon
Both units for flank control or objective taking/denial

8 Blood Claws Boltpistol, Bolter, Meltagun, Wolf Standard
1 Rhino
Inclusive the Battle Leader, Assaulting unit?

Fast Attack
10 Fenrisian Wolves

9 Sky Claws Boltpistol, Meltagun, Power Weapon
Going with Battle Leader, maybe to assault or to get objectives

Heavy Support
5 Long Fangs 4x Missile Launcher
5 Long Fangs 4x Missile Launcher
1 Vindicator

Except to above I also have:
05 Terminators with almost every weapons options
10 Scouts with bolters or boltpistols
Maybe another 10 Grey Hunters

Please C&C

and please dont say "buy 5 Thunderwulfs" those are cool but way to expensive to convert and purchase.
(except you have a really cheap conversion idea;) )

give the wolf lord saga of the wolfkin to bump up the wolves, the extra initiative is a must. consider maybe dropping one of the battle leaders for a rune priest.

I'd give your Lord the Belt of Russ for an invul save, and swap the battle leader that accompanies the blood claws for a Wolf Priest. The battle leader individually may be a stronger fighter, but the priest will boost that unit more.

Looking good so far.

Props on not taking a full compliment of Thunderwolf Riders like every other SW player. :D

I would suggest taking the full Long Fangs pack and mount them in the Razorbacks and take full Grey Hunters packs and mount them in Rhinos-make the whole army able to zip across the battlefield.
I'm quite partial to Drop Pods and a Plasma Cannon on the dread.
