I think i have it, a pretty competitive space wolves drop pod army for 2k points but i am not entirely sure. Here's my 2k space wolves drop pod list, any critiques really appreciated!

RP, master of runes, runic armor
RP, master of runes, terminator armor, Combi-Melta, Rune Axe, Chooser of the slain, warlord
RP, master of runes, terminator armor, Combi-Melta, Rune Axe

WG, 4 terminator armor, WC, Combi-Meltas, CML
+5 WG, PA, PS, Combi-Plasma, DP

8 grey Hunters, DP, Melta, Standard
8 grey Hunters, DP, Melta, Standard
8 grey Hunters, DP, Melta, Standard
8 grey Hunters, DP, Melta, Standard

5 LF, PC
5 LF, ML

Aegis Line with Quad Gun

The idea is that 3 wolf guard and one RP in terminator armor split off into the GH squads and go down with them and the warlord RP will go with the 5 PA wolf guard in a DP. The 4th WG with the CML will be with the ML long fangs on the quad gun and the last RP in runic armor will be with the PC long fangs nearby so they can get a buff. This way every squad has something with them that helps them in some sort of way. Now that that's over the tactics simple: the drop pods come in and rip apart any squads that are in the open and with the RP's they'll ignore cover and/or re-roll hits which will be good for combi-weapons. All during this time the Long fangs will be laying down a good amount of firepower and take out any tanks and heavy infantry.

I really think this list will do well but i want to see what you guys think of this. Any help would be really great and thanks again in advance!

A psyker can't cast blessings the turn he arrives from reserves, so no prescience or perfect timing on the drop. You're better off using him as a Jaws priest, as you can manifest psychic powers during your shooting phase when you arrive from reserves. 32 scoring marines seems pretty light for 2k points as well.

It does give me more ways to take objectives and my strategy is to essentially rush the enemy and destroy anything that can take objectives or be a threat. Also, would you suggest bringing some armor or something?

Needs a bit of work, think wolf priests and preferred enemy

Try and get 5 drop pods do two with five men

I would recommend dropping master of runes on the rune priests, being able to cast two powers is nice, but it is still quite a bit of extra points and if by chance you get a power that you do not need to use you have essentially wasted 50 pts. Along with that the runic weapon on the rune priest doesn't matter it is only str user and ap 3 because it is a special force weapon You could almost add another squad of grey hunters for 150 pts, also the wg leading the squad is kinda a detriment, it is nice that they can accept a challenge and they have a 2 up save to tank hits, but it is still 43 pts for a single model with 1 wound and nothing in addition added to him. I would personally recommend go the full 10 man squads with 2 special weapons mark of wulfen and standard. Then have the long fangs have the rune priests attached to them to give ignore cover or prescience
