Ravenwing

[jaqenhgar]

I would be tempted to put a few flamers in there, plasma/melta is nice, but eventually you'll need to start taking out infantry.

What powes does the libby have? What rulebook powers would it have access to? running him around in the big bike squad makes sense, especially with prescience on the plasma, makes them quite potent at anti-flyer.

Overall I like the list, but in it's current form I think it might struggle against the horde type list, but there aren't any at the club, so that makes sense.

Thanks for the feedback Rob, I agree about the flamers, hence one squad will have them, see edited list below. I have given the chappy a combi-plasma by dropping meltabombs on two RAS melta squads - might regret this but will see how it goes. The double landspeeder squad has two heavy bolters now instead of multi-meltas, I envisage it hanging around at the back. From experience shoving landspeeders at the enemy is a good way to make them die quick.

For hordes, there are the 6 frag blasts from the speeders, two heavy bolters, two flamer templates and 24 twin-linked bolters, which is not to be sniffed at (~21 hits, 14 wounds on T3), plus hordes tend to be slow so they have to catch me first if they are assaulty. Hordes also tend to have low S weapons, so combined with T5 they are only wounding me on a six. Of course they may outnumber me 4 to 1...

When I try a libby I will prob take divination, and try and get presience (re-roll those 1's from the plasmas) and hope to get either perfect timing (ignore cover - for hordes when I will be firing the tl bolters instead of plasma) or scrier's gaze (roll 3 dice and choose for reserves/outflank).
Invisibility from telepathy would also be nice but chances are I won't roll it.

Here's the edited list:

Sammael - jetbike (plasma cannon, eternal warrior, nice shiny sword)
Chappy - meltabombs, combi-plasma
RAS - 6 bikes, 2 plasma guns, apothecary, banner, power sword, meltabombs, attack bike with multimelta
3 x RAS - 3 bikes, 2 melta guns, attack bike with multimelta
1 x RAS - double flamer, attack bike with multimelta
Landspeeder squadron - one with typhoon ml and hb, 1 with hb
2 x landspeeders with typhoon ml and mm (separate units)

Want to try all Ravenwing first, before mixing in some Deathwing squads for a dualwing list.

JJ - it remains to be seen how potent it will be - it's got an even lower model count than the Deathwing list I have run!
