Right. I'm using the Space Wolf codex to proxy for Iron Hands- I want terminators leading tactical squads. The plan is to have lots of shooty back-up, whilst squads of Troops go forwards and grab objectives.
I haven't played 40k for ages. I'd like an army relatively simple to pick up and have a laugh with. I want it to be competitive, or else I'll just get beaten awfully regularly.
What could/couldn't change:
*The Wolfguard and at least one Iron Priest are obviously vital for my fluff. Suppose I could drop one Wolfguard (the Lord could lead a squad instead).
*I could drop the second Iron Priest in favour of a dread.
*I don't particularly fancy doing any tanks, I had enough of them with my old Guard so I want to try something more infantry based.
*I'm undecided on the small Blood Claws packs. Combine them? Replace them with Grey Hunters? Something else? I want to have enough Troops to grab objectives?
*I've never been one for HeroHammer, shoving lots of upgrades on leaders isn't my normal thing. On the other hand, maybe I should change that?
