Pre-Heresy Luna Wolves Army List Ideas


As per the title. I've got 2 Army Lists from 2 different Codexes. The first is from Codex: Space Wolves and the other is from Codex: Space Marines. Truth be told, I dunno which Codex would suit Pre-Heresy Luna Wolves. If rumours are true, then I'm even considering the new (6th Edition) Codex: Chaos Space Marines.

Supposedly the rumours state that Chaos Space Marines will have something akin to "The Eye of the Gods" which would grant bonuses to those who win Challenges. This doesn't sound like Luna Wolves at all (more like Pre-Heresy Word Bearers). Yet the Codex will supposedly have Chaos Space Marines with Bolter, Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon, which from my understanding, is the exact armament of (almost) all the Legions. In addition they can take a squad of 20 which is normally the average squad size of most Legions.

If you restrict yourself to taking certain units then you can have a pretty decent representation of the Legions. Some units such as the Khorne Berserkers (who are rumoured to supposedly have Rage and an AP5 Weapon) can represent allied World Eaters or within justification an elite/veteran unit of the Luna Wolves (or any Legion for that matter).

But then again, we gotta wait for the Codex to be released first. I hope it's soon, and I hope Chaos Dreadnoughts lose that stupid Crazed rule. Also I hope they can take 2 Twin-Linked Autocannons.

Here's the Army List now:

Both Army Lists represent perhaps the Ullanor Crusade (defending a position against the Orks). I will be adding the Aegis Defense Line Fortification. But left it out of the list for now.

Again I'm still considering the rumoured 6th Edition Codex: Chaos Space Marines. There are many units (such as Khorne Berserkers or Noise Marines with Bolters only) that can represent special units of the Luna Wolves, like Locasta Tactical Squad (Loken's Squad I think) or even special units that haven't been named (which means it'll be time to create some fluffy squad names).
