As a space wolf player I have found it difficult to go up against heavy loota lists and similar just ork heavy lists. Any tips of what to do, what are some good units to get etc.

Frag Missiles from Long Fangs. Speeders are also good for this. Flamers.

Remember to always charge Orks first. Deny them the Furious Charge bonus.

Jaws of the World Wolf kills Orks, since they are I2. If there's a big Horde, you are bound to hit a bunch. Living Lightning is good for this as well.

You can take 10 Grey Hunters with a banner, 2x flamers and a drop pod for 195 points, do this with 3 units and take 2 other drop pod squads/units, and you will roast Orks into a tasty treat.

This unit is also great against a few units in most armies, pair with ML long fangs and savor!

Jaws spam. Take 4 rune priests. LF spam with Fraggle missiles.

Acouple of Lone Wolves. I usaly give mine a Storm Shield and MotW and they will tie up hordes.
Pods work well
The best are Multible Grey Hunters Packs with a 2x Special Weapons, Power Weapon, MotW and Wolf Standard.
If you encounter alot of Horde Armies, concider Heavy Bolters Long Fangs.

Yes usually I go like a balanced, non tailor list. However should I just go drop pods overall ?
