Space Wolves, working on the new list...

I just can't seem to make up my mind on exactly where to go with this list, so I thought I would post up my thoughts so far and look for some input.

Here are the must haves:
  • Logan Grimnar (of course)
  • Wolf Priest (to lead the Blood Claws)
  • 10x Wolfguard 8x TDA, 2x Cyclone missile launchers and 2x Power fists. The power armored WG have a Combi-PG / Thunder hammer and Combi-MG / Power fist
  • 9x Grey Hunters with a Plasma gun, Plasma pistol, Power weapon, Standard, Mark of the Wulfen. With a Rhino Transport
  • 8x Blood Claws with a Flamer and Power weapon (Plasma pistol? Rhino Transport?)
  • 6x Long Fangs with 5x Heavy Bolters, the Pack Leader has a Power Fist
That's the core of the list, and it is from here that I am stuck. Where do I go from here? I have plenty of points left (about 500 in fact).

A couple of things I am definitely staying away from is spam of any sort (I don't mind duplicating a unit, as long as its wargear is markedly different). I like the idea of taking Logan Grimnar and a wide variety of choices to represent a small fraction of his Great Co.

I could go with a Land Raider Crusader, and bulk out the Blood Claws, or take some TWC, or a Dreadnought.

So I'm all ears, give me your opinion

    Bulk out the blood claws to fifteen, maybe thrown in a wolf priest if you can swing it so they get a shit load of attacks charging out of a raider with a reroll. Bit of points sink in an army of point sinks but with a strong enough anvil this unit could be your hammer

    I like that idea, in fact it is real close to one of the lists I'm considering.

    The other list I'm thinking on uses a Rhino for the BloodClaws, and with the points I save, I take a unit of Thunder Wolf Cav.
