Hiya

Just wondering whether I've interpreted the new space wolves codex correctly

Am I right in thinking, from what it says in the codex that I could have 4 plasma weapons per squad?

For every five you can take a plasma gun, then it says one model may replace their bolt pistol with
Plasma pistol!? Then if that's not enough it says may upgrade one grey hunter to a wolf guard pack
Leader, and then he can take a combi plasma!!?

Surely ive read this wrong?

You've certainly read the forum rules wrong, this should be in YMDC.

Your Wolf Guard Pack Leader can take two Plasma Pistols for even more

This is correct.

A ten man squad with the following is legal:

2x Plasma Guns on Grey Hunters
1x Plasma Pistol on a Grey Hunter
a Combi-Plasma or Plasma Pistol on an upgraded Wolf Guard

I use a squad like this in a Drop Pod. It's very expensive, and it almost always seems to kill one or two of the guys, minimum. So I don't know how much people would like it.

The unit synergizes well with a Rune Priest firing Living Lightning, too, if you are willing to walk or try to outflank with them.
