Well the idea of mass drop pods was recently stuck in my brain, so I drew up this list. I think it would be pretty fun to play!

Please note that I am making use of DFO.

Total: 2,000

4 pods (likely with Melta) drop on turn 1, with 3 more to follow based on reserve rolls. 63 Space Wolves in Drop Pods isn't the scariest thing, but it's not the easiest thing to deal with either. 6 castings of JotWW per turn can destroy low-initiative armies like Tau, Necrons and Tyranids (Tervigons and the like).

I have two Choosers of the Slain to avoid the opponent dictating my drop zones with infiltrators. They also make the users of Living Lightning BS5. One of the Rune Priests can get Prescience for some anti-air in a pinch. Yes, this army does not like Heldrakes.

I know that I don't have much anti-air (just Prescience + LivingLightning/Plasma). How could I bring in some more anti-air without deploying anything?

It should be a lot of fun to play. Without allying with vanilla marines to access devs with flak missiles, cheap Long fang ML squads podding with a rune priest is the best anti-air I've found for Wolves. You can at least grab the power that let's you reroll those snap shots! :)
