Sneak Throne of Skulls Update

Yes, I'm struggling to keep up the tempo with the Chaos Marine Analysis, so I'm just going to throw something a little different in to freshen things up around here. In short, I'm changing my 1,500pt list. Again. Since a game yesterday against a strong opponent, I've learnt a few things about my army. Firstly, Lone Wolves are brutal. The game in question was at 1,850, and I was trying out a pair of Lone Wolves, so I'm going to put one of them into my 1,500pt list. So here it is.

HQ:
 
Rune Priest (Warlord)
-Tempest's Wrath
-Living Lightning

Rune Priest
-Chooser of the Slain
-Jaws of the World Wolf
-Living Lightning

Elites:

Wolf Guard Pack (3)
-Terminator Armour, Power Sword, Storm Bolter

Lone Wolf
-Terminator
-Thunder Hammer
-Storm Shield

Troops:

Grey Hunter Pack (6)
-Wolf Standard
-Meltagun

Grey Hunter Pack (6)
-Wolf Standard
-Meltagun

Grey Hunter Pack (5)

Heavy Support:

Long Fang Pack (5)
-4 Missile Launchers

Long Fang Pack (5)
-4 Missile Launchers

Long Fang Pack (5)
-2 Missile Launchers
-2 Lascannons

Allies:

HQ:

Primaris Psyker

Troops:

Veteran Squad
-Mortar Team

Fast Attack:

Vendetta
-Heavy Bolters

Heavy Support:

Manticore
-Heavy Flamer

I'm a bit worried about the size of the troops choices but I'm hoping that with all of the other threats my troops won't make target priority, especially with there being 4 of them making it difficult for my opponent to kill them all. The Wolf Guard split up and go into each of the Grey Hunter squads to eat wounds, and the Warlord swaps his powers out for Divination, hiding at the back to avoid giving away the Slay The Warlord point and using his powers to improve a pack of Long Fangs each turn.

If the Manticore is threatened by outflankers, etc, I'll bubble wrap it with the Veterans whilst they use their Mortar, otherwise I'll put them in the Vendetta to drop them in my opponent's deployment zone for Linebreaker.

Sorry there's not much today. But there'll be a Chaos post up tomorrow on Ahriman and his Thousand Sons.
