Ideally I'd like to run the Blackmanes alongside a Skyhammer Annihilation Force but I need 5 more pods to pull it off and I'm not terribly excited by the prospect of building 5 more pods...

So using the models I have available I'm looking at this 1500 point list and then thinking how to bump up to 1850.

Blackmanes
WGBL - TWM, RA, SS, PF, Helm of Durfast, 2 FW
1 x 3 TWC, 1 WC, 3 SS
2 x 5 Blood Claws, flamer, pod
1 x 5 Skyclaws, 2 flamers
4 x 5 Grey Hunters, melta, pod
1 x 2 Long Fangs (not super happy with this but I figure I'd hide them somewhere in my backfield, maybe capping an objective)
1 x 5 Wolf Scouts, camo, sniper rifles

White Scars Allied Detachment
Librarian - ML2, Hunter's Eye
1 x 5 Scouts, meltabombs
1 x 3 Grav Centurions, omniscope
1 x Drop Pod

1496, 64 models

Bumping this to 1850 opens a couple of options.

I was thinking of maybe including a Raptorwing to get some air support for the list and that would take most of the remaining points.

Maybe a Knight to draw some attention away from the pods? Knights are just so fragile.

Or go with more bodies. A friend suggested an inquisitor with servo skulls but I don't know if that's necessary. I'm open to suggestions.
