After Christmas I picked up a Chaos Battleforce box with the intentions of making a Space Wolves 13th Company army. I want this army to work with both the current Space Wolves Codex and the current Chaos Codex. I looked through my old copy of the Eye of Terror Codex to see what all was in the original 13th Company army list. My goal is to use the constraints of that old codex and make an updated army with the modern equivalent of the old units.
That old codex gave the armies Rune Priests a psychic power called "The Gate" that allowed the player to remove a squad from the table and place them back on the table like they have just performed a deepstrike move. To duplicate that, I've decided to only use drop pods, especially since they didn't have vehicles in the original list. I've got a few conversion ideas in mind to make them fit the fluff!
I made a quick list in Army Builder and copied it below. If anyone feels like it, take a look at the list and let me know what I can change to make it better. I need to drop the power armour rune priest to keep in with the restrictions from the old codex.
Here is the list of what could be included in the original army list.
HQ - 1 Wolf Lord; 0 - 1 Rune Priest; 0 - 1Wolf Priest
Elites - Wulfen Pack; Storm Claws Pack (similar to wolf guard)
Troops - Grey Slayers (similar to grey hunters)
Fast Attack - Fenrisian Wolf Pack; Storm Claws Biker Pack
Heavy Support - Long Fangs Pack
