Blog Wars 9 Army list. Thunderwolves ho!

I submitted my army list for blog wars 9 a few days ago and thought I would share it with you all. As you have guessed by the title I am taking my space wolves and a bunch of thunderwolves :)
The caveat for blog wars is you have to take a special character, and Arjac will be mine. I will be using the company of the great wolf detachment to give my wolf guard and TWC +1 weapon skill and enable me to take an extra elite slot. I have not playtested the list much (read one game :) ) but I am hoping it will be a fun list to play with and against.
+++ The Volsung (1847pts) +++
++ Space Wolves: Champions of Fenris:- Company of the great wolf detachment (1847pts) ++

+ HQ (175pts) +
Wolf Guard Battle Leader (175pts) [Relic: Krakenbone Sword, Thunderwolf, Warlord]

Wolf Guard Terminators (277pts) [Arjac Rockfist, Grimnar's Champion, WG Terminator Leader w/ Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield]
····3x WG Terminator [3x Combi Melta, 3x Storm Shield]

Drop Pod (35pts) [Storm Bolter]
Thunderwolf Cavalry (260pts)
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Chainsword]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry Pack Leader [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]

Thunderwolf Cavalry (245pts)
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Chainsword]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry [Bolt Pistol, Chainsword]
····Thunderwolf Cavalry Pack Leader [Bolt Pistol, Storm Shield]

The idea is the melta grey hunters and dread (or terminators in the drop pod depending on the opponent) drop down turn one for a tasty alpha strike and to distract attention away from my thunderwolves who will be moving very quickly up the board for a turn two charge. For objective games I will play a bit more cagey and use my drop pods for positioning and my TWC for speed objective grabbing. Pretty simple but hopefully I will get some fun and bloody games with it. What are your thoughts?
NafNaf out!
