My thoughts:

This was the first time ever for me trying out the drop mpods. Needless to say i did a really bad job! After the first turn i was pretty convinced i would be wiped out except for the reaver in the end of turn 2. But in the end it was a very even fight that was decided in the end phase of turn 4.

If it had gone to points i would have lost for sure though.

Great companies reinforced by long fangs and wolf priests are a really, really good unit to pod in. IIf i can get a hang of it this could be a really fun list to play with the drop pod tactics! Fenrisian wolves are scary god for their points!!

Having the reaver titan guarding the blitz and keeping the marine side clear of to many LV:s was really good too. i think it works good with as a rear guard to the drop podding units.

I didn't find anything that much overpowered. But my lousy tactics and some seriously good rolling from my opponent saw lot of ny marines go down too fast.

We both agreed that the great companys where tough to wipe out and that felt very Space Wolfish...

Thanks for the batrep Mordoten and Uvenlord.

So all the wolves formations were wiped out in assaults?

Just something I noticed ... If you used a Strike Cruiser only 20 units are poddable. 3 GCs with 8 units each wouldn't be able to pod-in, only 2 plus change.

Oh damn... Missed that. Sorry!

Two of the GC:s who podded in where wiped out in assaults. The third one got shot to pieces with multiple formations shooting at it.

Uvenlord was not the opponent here. But he and me are in the same group so our batreps can be counted as one groups. We're 6-7 guys playing epic in our town now!

Mordoten I think we need 4, unless I've missed one of your group's? I've started marking the games in the "All your SM BatReps belong here " thread to keep better track.

Thanks for your guys' efforts on this too.
