Space Wolves Configuration tips/ help

Greetings
As my intro post recently said I’m just starting to get into Warhammer. I have just bought a bunch of things to make a space wolves army. I was wondering if any of you wise people have any tips as I start the daunting task of creating my first army list so I know how to configure my men as I build them. I’ll give a list of what I have below (if there is one or two things you feel I might need to add feel free to say so as well).

I have:
1 x Space Wolves Battleforce: contains [20 figures that can be made into Grey Hunters, Blood Claws and/ or Wolf Guard] + [5 scouts] + [Drop Pod]
3 x Wolf Pack: each contains 10 figures that can be made into Grey Hunters, Blood Claws and/ or Wolf Guard
2 x SW Terminator Pack: each contains 5 terminators
1 x Land raider
1x Vindicator
I also have one of each: Njal Stormcaller, Space Wolf Rune Priest, Wolf Lord Logan Grimnar, and Space Wolf Lord Ragnar Blackmane

Personally I haven't played with them. So I don't know anything specific for the space wolves.

From what I can see what you have, I would try to create something like this:

3 Core Units (Go and pick a few big units, they are the ones who hold the objectives, so you will need something that can resist some heavy fire).
Going specific for space wolves: 2 grey hunters and 1 blood claws full strength.

Your heroes are dependent on the way you play, close combat or fire fights.

Then mount your terminators in the land raider, together with a nasty charachter.

You will also need some long fangs to give covering fire...

Hopefully this helps a little.

I personally dont play Space Wolves, but i do know that there are lots of extra bits in all of the Space Wolf kits, so it might be worth getting a tactical squad box and a devastator squad box to bulk out units and to give heavy weapons for squads that want them, or for Long Fangs, using bits of bling off the sprues to make them more Space Wolf than generic marine

Thanks both! That should help a bit.

I’ll keep a note to buy a couple Space Marine Devastator Squad packs and convert them with the multitude of spares SW packs when I next get paid, I might also pick up a predator aswell. My head is still dizzy with the multitude of options but the more I read from the codex and rule book the clearer its becoming. I’ve not got too much time this week but hopefully I can spend some good amount of time after.

I do have a question, can SW scouts use shotguns? I’ve seen a few lists with shotguns but can’t see the option in the codex.
