pretty straight forward. what do you like using most and how do you use them? thunderlords, naked rune priests, wolf priest with blood claws, cheap WGBLs, etc etc... i for one am becoming a huuuuuggeee fan of my wolf priest with bloodclaws. it has crushed anything it charges (those rerolls are cruuucial) also my thunderlord has gone beastmode the last few games ive played. what say you?
rune preist has been hands down mvp in more games than i can count. Really hard to justify taking anything else with all that they do for you. Thunderlord can be fun but for the cost you could get 2 thunderwolf cavalry with thunderhamer on one and get way more attacks and resilience the lord is just over costed whenever i try to use him
Duh, Rune Priest by far Jaws of the cheat wolf and living cheat come to mind as the game breakers.:mad:
Model wise, Wolf Lord in Terminator armor with two Thunderhammers... Game wise, Lord on foot with frostblade and SS, Wolf Necklace and talisman, and runic armor if i have points for it. He absorbs so much firepower for the unit that gets him, and can dish out some pain with the +1 str power weapon. The most fun i've ever had though was with Ragnar Blackmane, and getting a duo charge with both units getting Furious Charge. Suffice it to say, they won.:D:D
I have to vote for either the Wolf Guard or a Wolf Lord on a thunderwolf simply because I like thunderwolves
Though I have to be honest and admit I have only used my space wolves in apocalypse games as the shaggy furred werewolf blitz to my more sedate Imperial Guard and titan forces. So I have next to no reguar game experience in using anything but those two types of HQs.
Back in the days of 2nd and 3rd edition I often preferred to use rune priests simply because I thought they were nifty but I simply haven't played many normal games with the new codex under 5th edition rules.
Rune Priest with Murderous Hurricane and Living Lightning.
In big games I like Njal. In smaller games I use a Rune Priest.
I always use a Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf with Saga of the Bear, 2 Fenrisian Wolves and various other goodies.
My favorite is Bjorn. Cause he is a BAMF dreadnought.
Can't go wrong with....
Rune Priest with Murderous Hurricane and Living Lightning and Chooser of the Slain.
I have been running a Wolf Priest of late with Sky Claws.
Wolf Priest, Plasma Pistol, Jump Pack.
10x Sky Claws, Flamer and Power Fist, MoW
Costs a bit, but hey completely smash face. People just don't realise what Sky Claws can do!
Logan is a baws.
Scoring Wolf Guard, Tank Hunters/Preferred Enemy/Fearless on demand, crazy statline, and all man.
Nothing says "goodbye AV14" like Logan standing within 2" of 5 ML Long Fangs and a WG with a Cyclone. You can even split fire and pen a Landspeeder with 4x S5 storm bolter shots. You got to love Tank Hunter. Hope it doesn't get changed in 6th Ed.Quote:

EDIT 2: I like Rune Priests as well. Solid, solid unit.
I like to run a wolf priest out of a LRC with a wolfguard with a thunderhammer and stormshield. Also possible to toss a Wolfguard battle leader in there with a thunderhammer stormshield and saga of the warrior born.
Bjorn.. Especially after reading battle of the fang!!
It's a close one for me between the My favorite has to be the Wolf Lord on a Thunderwolf. It has so much character! Rune priests and wolf priests are a close tie for me.
In fluff terms, however, my favorite is Ragnar Blackmane hands down. The Space Wolf book series is why I started Space Wolves, so in a sense I wouldn't have wolves without Ragnar. XD
pretty much love either naked priest with Living lightning and jaws and thunderwolf lord with thunder hammer SS artificer armor,with warrior born buahaha.
Like diferents for different things
Runepriest, for cheap anty psy and support
Wolf lord for killing monster
Wolf priest for force multiplier
Bjorn is my favorite after reading prospero burns. I also wolf lords with runic/SS wolf tooth necklace and either frost weapon or wolf claw and wolf priests but thats because I like chaplains.
I love my wolf lord on thunderwolf, and I love my thunderwolves. Once I figured out how to use them, they have yet to let me down.
I also love Bjorn's fluff, both in Prospero Burns and Battle of the Fang. I have a forgeworld space wolf dread. Coming that I plan on making in to Bjorn's and than trying him out in a few games. An ancient dreadnought that's almost impossible to kill? I think yes!
Rune Priests in termie armor with living lightening and hurricane for me.
Thunderwolf Lords. Preferably 2. Maybe 4. So fun and they piss my opponent off to no end.
