Space Wolves on Foot.


I know that in 5th Ed. Mech is king but I have a lot of Chaos Space Marines that feel a little left out that have luckily got the hang of 'Counting-As' other things, so...

1500 Pts - Space Wolves - On Foot

HQ: Rune Priest (1#, 125 pts)
1 Rune Priest @ 125 pts (...in Power Armour)
1 Rune Priest in Power Armour (Chooser of the Slain; Wolf Tail Talisman; Jaws of the World Wolf; Living Lightning; Saga of the Beastslayer)

1 Wolf Guard in Power Armour (Bolt Pistol; Power Fist x1)

Troops: Grey Hunters Pack (10#, 180 pts)
9 Grey Hunters Pack @ 180 pts (Mark of the Wulfen; Wolf Standard; Meltagun; Meltagun)
1 Grey Hunter w/ Mark of the Wulfen

5 Long Fangs Pack @ 140 pts (Missile Launcher x5)
1 Squad Leader (Bolt Pistol; Close Combat Weapon)

Heavy Support: Long Fangs Pack (6#, 140 pts)
5 Long Fangs Pack @ 140 pts (Missile Launcher x5)
1 Squad Leader (Bolt Pistol; Close Combat Weapon)

Total Roster Cost: 1495

Edit: This list was done using Army Builders new 'Tournament' output which only displays the upgrades you've paid for rather than telling you everything up to and including every models fucking birthday and distinguishing features. I for one, much prefer it.

1 Wolf Guard joins each of the Grey Hunters Squads to increase their Leadership and up the CC punch a little.

8 Kill Points, 68 Power Armoured Bodies.

Just for fun really.

At 1750 I may add this unit purely to up the body count ;-)

: Battle Sisters Squad (20#, 240 pts)
19 Battle Sisters Squad [WH] @ 240 pts (Meltagun x2)
1 Sister Superior [WH] (Bolt Pistol & CCW)

Or more realistically I'd add more Long Fangs and a 2nd Rune Priest.

Of all the possible Marine variants that could run a 'foot' list I think that Space Wolves seemed the most viable.

Opinions welcome.

  1. Thas would be a cool list to take to the expo, take that.

  2. I'm dubious about It's effectiveness in a competitive environment.
    1) It has no 'rock' units to counter things like Assault Terminators.
    2) It would rely heavily on the Long Fangs to destroy Monstrous Creatures and similar (or at least soften them up a bit)

    In It's favour however each unit on the charge gets 27 normal attacks, D6+1 Rending Attacks + 3 Power Fist Attacks and if they use the Wolf Standard that turn get to re-roll all 1's.
