	*'''Drop Pod'''- Drop Pods are your best friend from high school who married your sister and parties with you every weekend. Okay, maybe I blew the point, but Drop Pods and Space Wolves are a classic combo. The '''Drop Pod Assault''' Special rule means that half of your pods have to deploy in your first turn (round up if you have an odd number of pods). This has a few different uses: Mess with your enemy's head by Deep Striking Grey Hunters in a place where it's not expected. Deep Strike Long Fangs or Dreadnoughts into prime places for popping enemy vehicles. Deep Strike your HQ, his squad, and several supporting squads to put a heavy hammer somewhere. Buy a Homing Beacon or two and get Logan, Arjac, and some Wolf Guard Termies in on a key juncture. FYI, the other half of your pods come down normally. Make sure you keep this rule in mind when you're writing the army list, so you can figure out how you want to deploy for best effect and capitalize on it when you are at the table. Again, it is better to either mount up all your squads in Pods or none, as one-two Pods can be easily countered and made useless by a good player. (DISCLAIMER: DO NOT BRING THE DROP PODS IN A KILL POINTS GAME). Yet they're harder to kill than Rhino's and Razorbacks, don't cause S4 hits to the entire squad on an explodes result if they are embarked (which obviously they are not in a drop pod when it explodes) and aren't basically free kill points like rhino chassis crap is.		*'''Drop Pod'''- Drop Pods are your best friend from high school who married your sister and parties with you every weekend.

	**Look at your codex, now back to the drop pod. Now back to the codex, now back to the drop pod. Sorry, your codex isn't a drop pod, but your infantry could be in that drop pod. Look up, what do you see? That symbol on the entry? That's Fast Attack. You can now provide those as transports for any Battle Brother on the field. Sure, it eats a Fast Attack slot per Drop Pod, but why not allow 4 [[Sisters of Battle\|cover-ignoring meltaguns]] to plummet upon the enemy and explode their favorite toy. Those infantry aren't Space Wolves, but they can assault like them now. Old Space Wolf Spice. I'm on a Wolf. Wolfy wolf wolf wolf!!

	*'''Stormwolf:''' (Attack Flyer) The Space Wolves finally get a flyer so they can quit complaining about facing anything higher than head height! The Stormwolf is one of two new flyers they get and fills a similar role to a [[Storm Eagle]], with a transport capacity of 16 (so it can carry more Terminators than even a Land Raider), AV 12 all around with built-in ceramite plating, and is an assault vehicle with Power of the Machine Spirit, so it makes a good option for bringing large Blood Claw or Terminator units onto the tabletop, it is equipped with a hull-mounted twin-linked Lascannon, two twin-linked heavy bolters (which can be swapped for Skyhammer missiles for free or twin-linked multi-meltas for 20 points) on sponsons, and has its own unique weapon on a turret: a twin-linked '''Helfrost Cannon''' which is a 24" range weapon that removes models on failed strength tests if they take a wound (and it ignores Eternal Warrior since it's not technically Instant Death) and can be fired either as S8 AP1 or S6 AP3 (Blast). Expect to see loads of these spamming the table tops, raping high armour vehicles and fucking up squads with multi-wound models, all for 35 points less than a Land Raider.		*'''Stormwolf:''' (Attack Flyer) The Space Wolves finally get a flyer so they can quit complaining about facing anything higher than head height!

	*'''Fenrisian Wolf Pack''' - cheap beasts, but not super-killy compared to other units in the list and can be gunned down easily due to their terrible 6+ save, though you can promote one to be a Cyberwolf, with a 4+ save and +1 T/A/Ld. They're basically [[tarpit\|tarpits]] to use to tie up big units in assault until your Terminators or Thunderwolf Cavalry can get to them.		*'''Fenrisian Wolf Pack''' - cheap beasts, but not super-killy compared to other units in the list and can be gunned down easily due to their terrible 6+ save, though you can promote one to be a Cyberwolf, with a 4+ save and +1 T/A/Ld.

	**Despite being the most expensive by far, Thunder Hammers are a perfectly viable option. Not only do they strike at S10, but ''Death Frenzy'' can (briefly) overcome ''Unwieldy'' so you don't have to worry about striking last without getting a chance. Also, the Storm Shield gives the model a reliable 3++ save, which is of more value to them in any Meta than a terminator who already has a 2+ save and might never use the shield... for 50 points per model in total. Oh look, that's only five points more than a TH/SS terminator for lots more attacks and special rules.		**Despite being the most expensive by far, Thunder Hammers are a perfectly viable option.

	** Scratch that noise. Do the math. A 3++ save with Feel No Pain on a 5+ is so statistically close to a 2+ armor save that the difference is in the decimals (77.77% vs 83.33%; a 4+ Feel No pain is directly equal to a 2+ save)! For 5 points more than a TH/SS terminator, you're getting +1 wound, +1 strength (which becomes +2 with the TH), +1 attack, and can Sweeping Advance. This is ignoring every other rule the Wulfen gets. On top of that, the Feel No Pain works as long as you don't suffer ID, so you effectively have your uber save against AP2 weapons, something the TH/SS terminators can't claim. Granted, this means you actually have a worse save against Battle Cannons, but only by a small margin, and you become much less vulnerable to AP4 or better weapons in the bargain.		** Scratch that noise.

	**Their weapon upgrades are severely undercosted to the point where it looks like blatant GW favoritism. 12 points for two +1 Str AP 2 specialist weapons with shred!? Every other marine army has to pay 15 points for a basic power weapon (which is simply not true: see Honor Guard or Vangurad Vets). 20 points for a thunder hammer and storm shield? Every other marine army has to buy those separately and a thunder hammer costs 30 points by itself. Again untrue: Assault Termintors, Vanqurd Vets (30pts for shield + hammer) and to a lesser extent Honor Guard).		**Their weapon upgrades are severely undercosted to the point where it looks like blatant GW favoritism. 12 points for two +1 Str AP 2 specialist weapons with shred!?
