tl;dr, with this list, your game can be won or lost in the matchup and/or in who goes first, and still take hours to play out. I'd play something else. Also, I don't think 20 blood claws is legal, I think they max at 15. Check it.

Good matchup:
I saw a ork list at a recent tournament - 143 Ork bodies, mostly boyz. With 2W bodies you would probably like that matchup.

??? matchup:
My marines can kill around 50 marine bodies a turn. I imagine an opponent who can put out similar damage output focuses on one side of the board to reclaim a flank objective and then tries to roll you up, taking advantage of your lack of mobility. Challenge cards don't help your game plan.

Bad matchup:
Against knights or something else you can't easily kill, an opponent might physically cover the objectives if they get there first. Game over, enjoy the next 2 hours...

Thoughts:
You may have a unique advantage here in your combination of resilience and OC. Maybe double down with vanguard spearhead for -1 to hit against shooting? They have an enhancement that lets you infiltrate (get there before the opponent boxes you out!) and a sticky objective strat and mobility strat that might be handy.
Bring SOME firepower, preferably for killing something your marines don't kill well. I'm concerned that you struggle to scratch a 2+ save in cover, especially if they have armor of contempt for the assault phase. And firepower keeps an opponent from putting everything in the open and blasting away without fear.

I was wanting to do a SW horde but this looks like a nightmare to paint!

Ok lets see,
1980pts
385-Ragnar, 20 bloodclaws
370-Njal stormguy, 20 bloodclaws
370-Wolfguard battle leader with hunters guile, 20 bloodclaws
355-wolfpriest, 20 bloodclaws

80-Five Intercessors

So this gives you 114 dudes as opposed to the 116 your list gets. But the units get lots of buffs via the characters. The hunters guile on the battle leader lets you redeploy 3 of those bloodclaw units.
You have 20pts left, you can swap another intercessor to infiltrator or save the points for by the time you assemble and paint these the next few munitorum field manuals will increase the cost some.

40k is as exciting as riding a pony, which doesn't sound very exciting.......

But the pony is 300 feet tall and covered in CHAINSAWS!

What fun would that be to collect/build/paint?
Hell, it's not even interesting to read.
