1 More thing Jeff forgot.

Keep in mind that both lists have to share a Force Org Chart.

comments
are the tables have a lot of LOS blocking terrain? if so take SW if not maybe take IG.

IG
Why take two battle psykers? it seems like overall.

Space Wolves
Why not take long fangs? I would take three squads.
why so many land raiders? The are not worth it. if you take them them drop the rune priest and take a HTH killing machine.

I would take fenrisian wolves instead of T cav. they are a better delivery system.

also the space wolf armies are doing different things. The first one is drop podding down and sneaking in the back lines with the scouts while the other is coming straight at you. a patient player is going to wait destroy one part of it and then more on and destroy the other half.

my 2 cents

Jay thanks for the comments,

The tables can be so so some will have good cover others will not but the majority will have light cover.

A couple things on our thinkings for lists.

For the IG we were thinking double psyker as insurance may not be needed can easily switch out for another tank somewhere.

For SW our main thinking was a mobile wall. Use the rune priest to give all the LR cover saves and have the mobile wall either stand and shoot or rush and deilver the hth troops. The Wolf Lord on Cav with the 4 man cav unit will be the primary hard hitting hth unit. For the RP do you think with the AV 14 that the mobile cover is not needed?

The duel purpose of each list was to have 1 get into the back of the lines while the other works as a hammer. Sort of like the hammer and anvil effect. If the enemy stays back then they have the pod and scouts to deal with if they rush then they have the hth GH and Cav to deal with.

We have to close voting by end of day today. We are getting harassed to turn our lists in.

No love for the IG?

Well I'll have to agree with jay this matter, space puppies have the best chance at running through leaf blowers.. I still not sure on the landraiders long fangs are just too good. A guy at my store has been running a wolf lord with thunder wolf mount, saga of the warrior born, wolf tooth necklace, thunder shield, runic armor, and a frost weapon. This guy runs through armies (killed 66 of my boyz) he is just dirty.
