Two 1500 point lists I will be running.

Today I played two very enjoyable games in my local club, against a shooty Salamander Space Marine army, and the Fenrisians of the other local Wolf Lord. In my first game against the space marine player I used a Thunderwolf Lord for a bit of a change, and against the Space Wolves I used my standard 1500 list, as shown below:

Bran Redmaw
Wolf Lord in Terminator Armour; Storm Shield, Chain Fist, Wolftooth Necklace,
Saga of the Bear (attached to Aesir Pack)

Jorek Stormgaze
Rune Priest in Power Armour; Chooser of the Slain

Elite
The Wolf Guard
Torgarl Mjodbane; Combi-Meltagun, Power Fist (attached to Lupus Pack)
Gyngrist Giantsmite; Combi-Meltagun, Power Fist (attached to Jotun Pack)

Kjel Wyrmslay; Combi-Meltagun, Chain Fist
Alarik Icehowl; Combi-Plasmagun, Wolf Claw
Svorlrik Thunderfang; Pair of Wolf Claws
Hengnir Scar-eye; Storm Shield, Power Sword
Olaf Keenblade; Assault Cannon, Chain Fist
Drop Pod

Troops
Aesir Pack
8 Grey Hunters; Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard, Meltagun
Drop Pod

Lupus Pack
8 Grey Hunters; Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard, Meltagun
Rhino

Jotun Pack
8 Grey Hunters; Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard, Meltagun
Rhino

Heavy Support
Vanir Pack
6 Long Fangs; 5 Missile Launchers
Razorback, Lascannon, Twin-linked Plasma guns

(Total 1500 points).

I also ordered myself some of the excellent new Thunderwolf Cavalry models, and a pack of Fenrisian Wolves. I knocked up a list that is not too disimilar to my standard list, as I prefer not to change the way my packs are set up (it would be bad luck to keep swapping wolf brothers in and out of their squads). I eventually settled with the list below, which swaps the Wolf Guard Terminators and the Terminator Lord for a Thunderwolf pack, Thunderwolf lord and some Fenrisian Wolves:

Wolf Lord
Wolf Lord in Runic Armour; Storm Shield, Frost Blade, Wolftooth Necklace, Thunderwolf Mount, Saga of the Warrior Born (attached to Fenrisian Wolves)

Elite
The Wolf Guard
Torgarl Mjodbane; Combi-Meltagun, Power Fist (attached to Lupus Pack)
Gyngrist Giantsmite; Combi-Meltagun, Power Fist (attached to Jotun Pack)

I've yet to name the Thunderwolf riders, but I'll make sure it's done before they head into battle and start building their worthy sagas!
