i completely agree with ahab, when doing a drop pod list you need to be able to kill a lot when you come in because you will only have a little more than half your army, if you did it right.

try something like this:

Logan Grimnar 275

wolf guard x5
1x TDA w/ cyclone missiles
1x fist
2x combi melta
2x combi plasma
drop pod
210

wolf guard x5
1x TDA w/ cyclone missiles
1x fist
2x combi melta
2x combi plasma
drop pod
210

wolf guard x5
1x TDA w/ cyclone missiles
1x fist
5x combi plasma
drop pod
215

wolf guard x5
1x TDA w/ cyclone missiles
1x fist
4x combi melta
drop pod
210

dread
MM + HF
drop pod
150

long fangs x5
4x missiles
115

long fangs x5
4x missiles
115

thats 1500

you have all sorts of missiles and target saturation
melta for AV-anything
plasma for killing...well...everything and anything without an armor value.
and since you have an odd number of pods you round up on your first turn and get 3 in plus your fangs.

i would put Logan with either your fangs or a group of wolf guard. wither way i see tank hunter coming into play. drop him in with the 4 melta group and get 2 S9 missiles and 4 S9 melta guns. you just killed ANYTHING, well short of maybe a monolith.

Otherwise i would put him with a group of fangs and put a wolf guard with a cyclone missile launcher with them too. that way you can have either a mobile 6 missiles with relentless or 6 S9 missiles that can shoot at 2 things should the need arise.

the dreadnought is honestly there to take up a drop pod but he is great, and dropping him in with the multi melta or heavy flamer as a viable shooting option is awesome, soften up that horde and scare the crap out of him with a dreadnought or pop his scary tanks or walkers.

you could also put Logan with the plasma group, not so much for tank hunter, although thats a mess of S8, but for relentless. but thats only if you dont really plan on shooting everything you got the first turn they come in.

and if you want everything in a pod then swap the fangs for dreadnoughts, MM + HF 115 same as the fangs. you'll have to find the 70 points for the pods somewhere and then you'll get 4 pods on turn 1 and you'll have 3 in reserves.

I love the idea guys. I am a very fluffy player, plus I like to play for fun.

I have retooled the list. I think it is much better now

models in terminator armor take up 2 slots in transports. arjack rockfist is a terminator. to fit him with a unit you have to drop one model in one squad. otherwise it looks better in my opinion. you should go with a rune priest. that way you have psychic protection.
6 x Long Fangs - 175 points
3 x ML
2 x Lascannon

---

5 x Long Fangs - 150 points
2 x ML
2 x Lascannon
both of these are wrong points wise.
your 5 points over on each. 170 and 145.
also what powers are on your rune priest?
Cool. in that case add a wolf standard to the other melta group

and the 2 powers are

Living Lightning
Murderous Hurricane

I think they would work well together.
good call in both areas, i love both living lightning and murderous hurricane. the S3 on hurricane sucks sometimes but it's really the secondary affect your interested in most of the time. and who can argue with a standard anywhere right lol.
