Ravenwing

[jaqenhgar]

Here's the Ravenwing list I'm going to run with the new shiny codex having come out. Unsuprisingly it's very similar to the old list, but now with the addition of Black Knights and a command squad with the standard of devastation.

HQ
Sammael - corvex (200)
RW command squad - apoth, Standard of Devastation, 1 g.launcher (215)
Int Chap. - bike, auspex (135) (warlord)

Troops
RAS - 6bikes, 2 meltaguns, attack bike - mm, landspeeder typhoon with heavy bolter (311)
RAS - 6bikes, 2 plasmaguns, attack bike - mm, landspeeder typhoon with heavy bolter (321)
RAS - 6bikes, 2 flamers, attack bike - mm, landspeeder typhoon with heavy bolter (301)
RAS - 3bikes, 2 meltaguns, attack bike - mm (155)

Fast Attack
5 Black Knights - 1 grenade launcher (210)

1848pts

Chappy is the warlord so I can roll on the strategic traits table, whereas Sammael has to take his own trait which increases everyones speed a bit - not needed imo.

I would like to include a Darkshroud for +1 cover save for surrounding units, but it means dropping a typhoon landspeeder and that's a loss of offence for a gain in survivability. This list is not designed for maximum survivability but for sheer speed and dakka (starting to think like an ork now...uh oh), so the darkshroud unfortunately hasn't got a place (at the moment anyway). I really want to try it with a libby on a bike as well with telepathy powers as there are some good ones in there for Ravenwing, but that will have to wait, partly cos he'll need converting.

I will have to see how the landspeeders do - they give some long-ranged firepower but obviously are very fragile. If they don't perform well I always have a couple more attack bikes....
