Aspire to Glory

So the results of my poll, and the advice from some experienced users, have pointed me towards Space Wolves for my first army. Some great tips so far!
I picked up a box of Terminators to go with my 3 packs of Grey Hunters, but I'm finding it a challenge to make a good pack out of them that isn't prohibitively expensive. I have two options. I also have some questions throughout. I'll wrap up at the end.
Option 1: Make a squad
Somehow figure out a way to make them worth their points. I don't plan on playing competitively for a while, but I will be joining a league. So while I don't have a points phobia, I'm not going to load 25% of the points in my army and send them across the field in a land raider unless they are every inch worth it. I almost laugh as I say this because I'm going to take Thunderwolf Cavalry, but I see some use with them. And I can't go without them.:rolleyes:
I've played with mixes of PF/SB and a couple of sets of LCs in a squad, which seems a cheaper option, but still really expensive. Especially when you put them in the vehicle that they need.
It's not looking good. I may not be able to let these boys roll together.
Option 2: Make ICs out of them
I like Lone Wolves loaded for bear and I kinda like the idea of Wolf Guard joining packs of 'Hunters, if it is practical to do with TDA WG. That would be rad.
Rune Priest seems feasible, too.
The gist is that I'm really trying to find what the hell to do with this increasingly disparate pack of heroes.
