Mostly this is to tantalize nick and his love of taking Warhammer theory to the extreme.
i've been looking into using either blood angels or hopefully the new dark angels book next month to flesh out one skitarii idea. Been thinking that taking a marine as CAD with two troop units a warlord and then 3 drop pods as fast attack with of course taking the skitarii manifold for the rest/bulk of the army. Place vanguard with plasma in one and two units of vanguard with arc weapons in the others. Basically using the CAD as a rent-a-pod system. Would love to be all iron handsy for thematic appeal, only it will be some time before that becomes an option for pods in fast attack.
How would you go about combining drop pods with skitarii?

I think disgustingly well. And that will most certainly be an option in about 3 weeks.
That list just won a GT with BA/Skitarii.

I was going to run Skitarii allies with my Space Wolves and put the Vanguard into drop pods, so I approve of this plan. I just really want to haywire someone else for a change. Too bad I can't haywire Tyranids.

The plasma with the -1 to cover bubble sounds like hell.

OMG kyle you have no idea how long I've been thinking about this exact list haha so many times I've thought how cool it would be to see on the board, and how hardcore it can be (especially with, as the guy Nick Baran linked to did, double vengeance batteries that can SCOUT).
Also the new Ad Mech formation is ridiculously cheesy. You take an HQ and 2 troops from the Ad Mech army list (cult mechanicus or whatever), a Skitarii Maniple, and a Knight of some type. Then, every unit in all 3 formations/detachments gets the Canticles of the Omnissiah special rule...which is similar to the Skitarii Protocols mechanic.
Very very powerful. And if you have the points to take that "detachment" AND a flesh tearers detachment for the drop pods for your vanguard...holy shit that's deadly.
