Besides Long Fangs, what other lists are good?
Also, what armies are best used with a massive drop-pod list?

There are a lot of competitive lists, this is a list i wrote for fun without any long fangs/rune priests/wolf Guard, i dunno how competitive it would be. It was more of a fun list than anything

HQ:
Ragnar Blackmane - Svangir & Ulfgair
Wolf Lord - 2 F. Wolves, Wolftooth Necklace, Wolftail Talisman, Belt of Russ, Power Fist
Wolf Lord - 2 F. Wolves Wolftooth Necklace, Wolftail Talisman, Runic Armor, Power Fist

Troops:
5 Grey Hunters, Melta, Standard, Mark of the Wulfen, Power Fist, Rhino
5 Grey Hunters, Melta, Standard, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino
5 Grey Hunters, Melta, Standard, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino

Fast Attack:
Land Speeder - Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer
Land Speeder - Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer
Land Speeder - Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer

Elites:
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armor, Chainfist, Storm Shield, 2 F. Wolves
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armor, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, 2 F. Wolves
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armor, Power Fist, Storm Shield, 2 F. Wolves

Total: 1840
KP: 15-17 (Depending on how i play the Land Speeders)

Looks pretty interesting. Is there a way I can put a bunch of Termies in? Is there a list that is close to Deathwing?
Also, for BA, how many effective lists are there? I understand the Assault Marines list, but what about Death Company? How does that work?

Loganwing can be sort of like Deathwing. But you still probably want long fangs.

Basically you take 12-15 missiles in the long fangs, then take six 5 man wolf guard units with a mix of terminators and power armored guys as your troops. Don't give them too many upgrades or they'll cost too much You definitely want a cyclone missile launcher in each squad, and maybe a chain fist/storm shield as well.

Then take some lone wolves, or TWC as you see fit and you'll have pretty a decent army.

I just don't want to take a TON of Long Fangs because I don't want a "cheesy" list.

If all you want is a fun list, then just take whatever you want. Not everyone has to be competitive. Just don't complain when someone with a better, "cheesy" list beats you.

The thing about long fangs is that they are super cheap for what you get.

If you don't like them, you can take predators or something like that, but they're just not usually as good, so people who play competitively almost always take them.

BA have 3 main builds:

DoA (all jump packs)

Mech (predators and or razoracks with assault marines inside)

Hybrid (a mix of those 2)

Death company are usually considered to be pretty bad. if you do take them, don't take too many, as the points really add up fast.

Ok thanks. What armies use a lot of Drop-Pods?

Pretty much any marine army any can use them. Space wolves can do it pretty good, as can regular SM. I probably wouldn't bother in a BA army.

Ok, thanks. Will think about it.
Now all I have to do is choose between CSM, SW, and BA

SW's have some pretty good drop pod lists. DC are ok only reason they have problems is because they can be "pony horsed" around

I like Black templar drop pod armies. If the other army does not deploy then you have an issue with a drop pod army except with BT.

I think the only army that has a relatively 'bad' drop pod list is DA since their drop pods don't have DPA. However, any Space Marine army can have a Drop pod list.

BA prolly should just be rolled with Assault Marines anyway, but they could still be put in Drop pods for free instead... the question is why would you?

DA can not do a drop pod list as they do not have good units to put inside them.

BT do not DPA but it works well as follows. If you drop pod your entire army if your enemy hasn't deployed then the DPA is worthless and in fact not having DPA is better.
