So after about 3 years of sitting in a dark corner of the world, it's time to dust off my old 40k armies and see what has managed to actually survive multiple moves. This is partly due to the fact that fantasy is no longer offered at tournaments, and Age of Sigmar hasn't really taken off, so it's a good excuse to shift my attention back. Now I haven't actually played a competitive game since the end of 5th ed, so I have very little idea of what the hell is going on, but I've read through the rulebook (ok, I skimmed it), and the two codices of the armies I own, so it seems alright.
Sadly my two armies are very 5th ed, one being a decent of angel BA list (although the stormraven did lose a wing during transit somewhere down the line), and the other an old Space Wolf list which is in very sorry shape (Somehow I've lost an entire box which had 2 land raiders, a Dreadnought and a rhino inside, so they are really short on transport atm). That being said here is the list I was thinking for a local tournament coming up (trail by fire), made up of the surviving models and a few things I quite like the look of. Please point out if I have anything wrong (I'm bound to do it)
Primary Detachment - Baal Strike Force
HQ
Captain
Artifer Armour, Grav-Pistol, Valour's Edge, Melta Bomb and Jumpack
165pts
Troops
5 Scout Squad
4x Snipers, Camo and Missile
84pts
5 Scout Squad
4x Snipers, Camo and Missile
84pts
Elites
5 Death Company
Jumpacks, 1w/Power Fist and Infernus Pistol
155pts
Death Company Dread
Blood Talons
135pts
Fast Attack
10 Assault Marines
2 plasma pistols
200pts
Second Detachment - Combined Arms Detachment (Space Wolves)
HQ
Wolf Lord
2 Power Fists, Runic Armour
175pts
Rune Priest
Mastery Level 2, Plasma Pistol
100pts
Troops
9 Grey Hunters
Close Combat Weapon, flamer, Rhino
184pts
5 Grey Hunters
Plasma Gun, Razorback w/Lascannons
165pts
Elites
Murderfang
135pts
Heavy Support
6 Long Fangs
5 missile launchers
165pts
total 1747pts
I have no real idea of what the tournament will be like, but normally (well several years ago), they were pretty much from the book. The idea of the list was picking out what might work from what I had. Sadly losing the rhino and land raiders means that most of my space wolves now have to jog across the battlefield, which rules out most of them (I still have something like 3 full packs of grey hunters and a pretty nice wolf guard squad (no terminators)). The plan is to group the assault marines (with captain) and the death company together and use them to clear a path for the following grey hunters. The longfangs and snipers will provide fire support and cover the backfield. The two muderbots will get in the way of anything that tries to clear out my fire support. It stated as I needed an elite for the Blood angel detachment, and so I put down the death company dread, then I remembered the Murderfang entry, and thought it would be funny to run both and see the look on your opponent's face, shame I couldn't stretch for some drop pods for them. The rune priest can either join the grey hunters, or sit back with the long fangs (thinking of taking divination on him).
Anyway thanks for any help you can offer.
What I have left (incase you were wondering)

-Lots of Grey hunters
-Wolf Guard unit (armed with a mixture of weapons (at least 5 have dual plasma pistols))

-Stormraven (although needs fixing)
