The idea is for more of an 'ambush' style Space Wolf list where almost no one uses standard deployment.

Aggressively deploy the (5)Phobos units initially to screen a bit, then redeploy (into cover, or back objectives) with Lord of Deceit(3 units).
Land Speeder Storm with Scouts deploys 'normally' and likely zooms off to contest an objective. Nice thing is that it will probably take 2 units of shooting to kill, since if the speeder dies, the troops pop out and then have to be shot off separately. Sure they could assign half the guns to shoot the speeder and half to the Scouts, but if the Speeder somehow lives... Otherwise, deploy the shotguns into some chaff units.
Bladeguard and Wulfen Outflank together, hopefully able to set up a charge(with a reroll) into the backfield. Skyclaws also Death From Above within 12" of the Wulfen for the reroll charge.
Jump Pack Chaplain and Lieutenant Death From Above with the two squads of Wolfguard in jump packs and attempt the charge. Chaplain has a Litany for +2 charge range, and the Wulfen Stone for reroll charges for Core w/6". Lieutenant has reroll charges +1" for himself and eventually Core w/6" can advance and charge.
Hounds do what Hounds do, and Outflank near a psyker if possible. Otherwise go climb a ruin and look edgy.
Drop pod with the two Long Fang squads drop in front of their tough units or main mass and obliterate a couple squads. Maybe Keen Senses strategy to negate the -1 to hit from disembarking, especially if their target also has some -hit. Hopefully the Phobos Lieutenant is in aura range.

For Secondaries I am thinking:
Battlefield Supremacy: Engage on all fronts or Linebreaker?
No Mercy, No Respite: Warrior Pride, or Thin their ranks? Maybe Oath of Moment, though I am not exactly fighting for the center. The drop pod is 'probably' around the mid board, but might not be within 6".
Maybe Shadow Operations: Raise Banners? or Warpcraft: Abhor the Witch?

Basically, I am not solid on Secondaries, and not completely sold on all of the warlord traits I have selected. Hunter specifically feels like I am getting half the benefit since I don't have any units with Swift Hunters.
Thematically I like the Hounds of Morkai, but I may swap them out for another squad of Skyclaws.
Yeah, I am at pretty high risk of being screened out, but hopefully the aggressive Phobos deployment and redeployment helps with that.
Unless I am misunderstanding something(about death from above and outflank), everything can be on the board during my Turn 1, and I am not actually using Strategic Reserves.
I like the Frost Lightning Claws on the JP Lieutenant, 7 attacks (on charge) at S6 AP-2 D2 reroll wounds hitting on "1s", but I wonder if swapping to a Thunder Hammer(to make use of Hunters Unleashed) or Teeth of Terra(though it loses the reroll wound) for a couple more attacks would be better. Is the +1 S from Imperium's Sword before or after the x2 S on the Thunder Hammer/Power Fist? Maybe Wolfkin instead of Hunter for D3 attacks on Shock Assault?
Maybe throw a relic on the Phobos Lieutenant? He's mostly there just for Lord of Deceit though.
