1750 Space Wolf List for the Tourny?

So.......I've been inactive for some time, but have been reading the HH novels and they're collectively trying to get me to play in the tournament in May (If I can successfully clear the weekend). And since list-making is free, I figured I'd give it a go.

Vindicator - Siege Shield (This bumps up the front AV to 14 right?)

Whirlwind

2 MM attack bikes

Regular Dread w/ MM and HF in a pod

Ven Dread with AC and HF in pod

11 Blood claws with flamer, PF and PW in a pod with an attached Wolf Priest with PW and apothecary equipment

Wolf Guard Battle Leader and tricked out retinue in a pod and everyone has a runic charm and a wolf pelt.
WGBL - TH&SS,
WG - TDA, AC, PF, Wolf Tail Talisman
WG - TDA, AC, PF,
WG - TDA, SS, TH,
WG - TDA, SS, PF,
This unit is very expensive, but can essentially suck up an entire army's firepower for a turn or two without doing any damage. Every guy is different so you can play games with wound allocation. Everyone has one reroll for armor save and two have 2+/3++ and one 3+/3++ and at worst 2+/5++.

6 Grey Hunters with PW, Flamer and PP in a HB Razorback

Thoughts? And does anyone own extra of any of these vehicles that might be able to be conscripted? Going from a no vehicle army (13th Co) to 5th where transports are sweet is tough on the budget. I own enough of the infantry, but I may need some help finding 4 pods, a vindi and whirly and 2 razorbacks.

Not bad John. Nothing wrong with an "all your eggs" approach for a tourney. Three scoring units should be enough. Love the flamers..

..nada on my end but you could bribe Captain Bowel for some rentals.

the siege shield just makes the tank immune to difficult terrain if it moves 6" or less

Thanks Monty, I finally figured that out yesterday I think (don't have a copy of the new marines yet). Seems like most people who take a vindi take the siege shield. I guess its so it can go park itself in terrain without a problem.

Well no one seems to have many comments, how about my other plea. Does anyone have extra vehicles that they are not planning on using for the tourny that I could borrow? Fluff-wise I'm saying that some 13th Co stole a ship and stole vehicles whereever they could, they don't have to match. Anyone?

Here is a way to do drop pods on the cheap: ARTICLE

If all else fails John I'lll buy your 4 other tanks for loan. You would have to assemble them though. Would give me something to paint after the tourney...

I have 4 drop pods and a slew of Tanks for Marines if you don't mind them being Grey or Imperial Fist colors!

I certainly do not mind them in other colors.

Is it grey as in unpainted plastic or painted grey?

Either way I don't care, painted gray will actually match my guys .

Unpainted grey unfortunately but lord willing I'll get another painting bug and get them painted properly!!!!
