This is my first Space Wolves army list but with the old codex, which I will definitely be getting soon. So here it goes guys:

HQ
Wolf Lord-SoTWB, Frost Axe, Power Weapon-135pts

Troops
x10 Grey Hunters-Melta Gun, Plasma Gun-155pts

x10 Grey Hunters-Melta Gun, Plasma Gun-155pts

x9 Blood Claws- Flamer, Melta Gun-155pts

Dedicated Transport-Drop Pod-35pts

Fast Attack
Skyclaw Assault Pack-Melta Gun, Flamer-105pts

Total-750pts

The way I am hoping to play this army is to use the Drop Pod assault rule, and send the blood claws into an unit that is worth killing, after all those 18 attacks have got to do something. The grey hunters will be moving up the flanks taking cover and shooting when possible. The drop pod will just be there, camping and shooting at anyone that gets in range. As for the lord, he will be joining in with the blood claws, adding attacks with his SoTWB rule. The Skyclaw pack will rush up the middle, hopefully getting into CC with the enemy.

Why are you buying the old codex when the new one is out? Blood claws and sky claws are basically useless in the old codex to.

Also you cannot charge the turn you arrive from DS even though drop pod is an assault vehicle and 9 blood claws on the charge would get 36 attacks (1 base, +1 for offhand weapon, +1 for charge, +1 for rage).

The old codex is no longer legal for normal play I don't know where you play but that could be an issue.

As for the list, what power weapon are you taking? Why? No invun on the Wolf Lord leaves him vulnerable. Particularly with an unwieldy weapon.

Why a plasma and melta in the squads they have entirely separate targets. Take a double melta or double plasma and your unit is actually a threat to something. Also how are they getting into range with no transport? They'll just get murdered. My advice is if you're goibg plasma take the plasma pistol as well and a Wolfguard with combi plasma for 7 plasma shots at something and give them a pod.

Blood Claws only get a 2nd special weapon when they are 15 strong, though again mixing and matching is not a great idea.

Skyclaws were terrible in the last dex drop them.

Also as pointed out 9 Blood Claws get 36 attavks on the charge (1 +1 for 2 CCWs +2 for charging due to rage, they don't have furious charge it gives +1S) and you can't assault the turn you arrive by drop pod. So you're droppibg them in entirely unsupported to die whilst your Grey Hunters sliwly footslog into bullets.

^ very good points. I think even a mediocre list would probably table this list most of the time.
