I've decided against my Space Wolves as it would require a bit too much effort to put them together (I want to take a *gasp* fully painted army to 'Ard Bioyz this year). So, instead of the space pups, I've opted to go with my Blood Angel army of metal bawkses. Anyway, here's the list:
HQ
Librarian 100
-Shield of Sanguinus, Blood Lance
Command Squad 205
-4 Meltaguns, Rhino
Librarian 100
-Shield of Sanguinus, Blood Lance
Command Squad 205
-4 Meltaguns, Rhino
Elites
2 x 5 Sternguard 400
-2 Meltaguns, 2 Combi-Meltas, 1 Combi-Flamer
Troops
4 x 5 Assault Squad 620
-Razorback w/ Lascannon/TL Plasmagun
Fast Attack
3 x Baal Predator 435
-TL Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Heavy Support
3 x Vindicator 435
2500
Self explanatory, really. 14 Rhino chassis is a lot for most opponents to deal with reliably.The Vindicators go in front of the Razorbacks and the Rhinos filled with Melta flank the Vindicators to protect their weak side armor. All of these vehicles get cover from my 2 Librarians. The Baals scout up the flanks and provide fire support and general annoyance, they might even Outflank in a few rare and specific circumstances. I tried Flamestorm cannons on them and was incredibly disappointed, but if someone has a suggestion on how to make them more effective (gameplay-wise) I would definitely listen.
The only things that I am not willing to change are the inclusion of 3 Baal Predators and 3 Vindicators. Also, the list must remain entirely mechanized.
One thing I was considering, however, is dropping the Heavy Bolter Sponsons on every Baal and instead adding 9 Hunter-Killer missiles to various vehicles. This would allow my army to deal a lot more damage on my first round of shooting and let the Vindicators go to work earlier than they would otherwise be able to. Thoughts on this approach?
