Does any one know any SM chapters that Specialized in drop pod assaults

BTs

the Aurora Chapter focuses on lightining assaults so that includes Pods.

White Scars certaintly would favor Drop Pods although Mech in general would be more appropriate.

BAs certaintly would in the original stages of Planetary invasion.

I know the Raven Guard specialize in drop pod assaults quite frequently, and also the Ultramarines second company use them as well IIRC, and there is a Special Character in the marines codex that leads them I believe

Nice but im trying not to make a Ultra army

I thought the aurora chapter specialised in mechanised assaults?

White Consuls are one.

There's one listed as using drop pods in the 5e codex... just go read the four pages or so on minor chapters; hardly laborious

Fu Americanisation :(

Ragnar's Great Company is known for massed Drop Pod assaults. Infact, he is so prolific at the tactic, that when his company goes to war in this method, it is known as "The Claws of Russ." -Paraphrased from SW 5e Codex.

Pre-rebellion Sould Drinkers were ship combat specialists that made extensive use of drop pods as boarding craft. They're fun to paint too so I'd go with them.

The Space Sharks love themselves some drop pod assaults.

Blood Ravens do, if DoW2 is anything to go by they love all forms of deep striking.

You have a lot of options here. If you want to just make your own chapter.

Do not forget The Luna Wolfs/Sons of Horus, if you fancy some pre-heresy drop pod action, Horus was famous for starting all invations by drop pod attack on the head of state.
