so my friend plays Space Wolves and usually takes like 6 or 7 drop pods for various things!
With me playing a Blood Angel force which has Lot's of jump troops I find it difficult to formulate stratagies against this :S
Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks

On first turn he brings in half of his army, while you have your entire army. So when he drops in, you can easily charge 2/3 of them with 2 units each, bomb them with vindicators, wreck them by rapid firing sternguard, destroy them with a rediculous close combat character, etc and completely demolish them, while ignoring the rest.

On turn 2 another 1/4 of his army will drop in. Do the same thing.

On turn 3 the rest of his army with most likely drop in. Guess what you should do? The same thing.

You are going to have 100% of your units on the table first turn while he will only have 50%. Use it to your advantage!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1782592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1782592.page GMT Best way to deal with multiple-Drop Pod Space Wolves? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1782980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1782980.page GMT Re:Best way to deal with multiple-Drop Pod Space Wolves?

Blood Angels are I5 with their Furious Charge (Sang Priests) and have enough attacks with 2 whole units to bring down the hurt.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1783674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1783674.page GMT Best way to deal with multiple-Drop Pod Space Wolves?

Berzerkers are I5 as well, but be careful that you're not just trading 2 units for one unit and letting the wolf player decide where he will retalliate in his turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1784181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1784181.page GMT Best way to deal with multiple-Drop Pod Space Wolves? BA, but when I play against a pod heavy force, what works for me (which I'm not saying it will work for you 100%) is to use reserves.

It takes away one of the primary reasons players use pods: to get the first strike/hit in before your forces can target them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1784188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1784188.page GMT Best way to deal with multiple-Drop Pod Space Wolves?

I'm thinking that could work! thanks! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1784459.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1784459.page GMT Best way to deal with multiple-Drop Pod Space Wolves?

Well a decently built blood angels unit (2 meltas, lightning claw, sang priest with lightning claw, libby with preffered enemy power or chaplain) will quite easily take out a 10 man wolf guard unit.

With the power weapons alone you will be dealing 6-9 wounds on average]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1785709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307842/1785709.page GMT
