Does The Blood Lance from Codex: Blood Angels pick specific units out of the squad, like Jaws of the World Wolf from Codex: Space Wolves? or does it simply put wounds on the squad?

Well it states that any unit the line passes through is affected, so I would say that it simply puts wounds on the squad.

Does Jaws of the World Wolf say "model", and that's why it works the way it does?

JotWW does not target units, Blood Lance does.

One affects the particular model, the other affects the unit.

No, in fact it only causes 1 hit per unit it touches regardless of how many of its models it goes through, severly nerfing its squadron hunting potential

Blood Lance puts one hit on each squad it passes through.
Jaws of the World Wolf forces an initiative check for each model it hits.

Blood Lance can zap a line of tanks though, and kicking a Librarian out of a Stormraven using Skies of Blood and wrecking a tank park is a lot of fun.

So i guess last week at league when i deep struck, and took out 2 lootas, 5 boyz, and a trukk in 1 shot... that was a bad thing to do, huh? Whoopsie, now i know...

What about hitting multiple vehicles in a squadron? still only 1 hit since they're a squad?

Squadrons are Units.

To expand what nosferatu1001 means – yes one hit per unit means one hit per squadron
