I'm looking to purchase some Space Wolves to help out my Grey Knight Purifiers (I mainly want the drop pods) list but I have very little knowledge of Space Wolves. I need a force of about 350 points if I can fit it that includes 3 fast attack drop pods. The current list is 1500 points with

1 Librarian w/ hammer
5 Terminators w/ psycannon, halberds and 1 hammer
2 Dreadknights w/ PT, GS, HI, HP
10 Purifiers w/ 4 psycannons, 4 halberds and 2 hammers
10 Purifiers w/ 4 psycannons, 4 halberds and 2 hammers


Is there a way to fit 1 HQ, 2 Troops and 3 Drop Pods into 350 points for Space Wolves? What are the best options?

So what do you want the wolves to do aside from bring drop pods? You know that an allied detachment can only bring a single fast attack slot right?

350 is rather poor. Generally when I run allies it gets close to 500pts.

I run a wolves detachment in pods for my guard. I have a rune priest or ulrik with a blob of guardsmen and then in the 3 pods I have 2 full 10 man grey hunter units all with ccw's and 2 special weapons each. In the 3rd pod I have the venerable dread with axe and shield. That dread can tank so much damage.

You can obviously cut down on points but for 350pts that may be difficult as you may not have effective units dropping in.

and you usually want to have at least 2 pods coming in turn 1.

You could take a Company of the Great Wolf detachment from champions of fenris. 1HQ 2 Elites mandatory, take a barebones wolf guard battle leader and two 1-man servitor units (counts as elites without Iron priests in the list). You now have 3 FA slots available. Add 3 drop pods and the total cost is 175 points. The wolves won't contribute much, but you get your pods.
