1st Game vs Tyranids

Ho, fellow brothers of the Ravenspire. I have to report on the glories of the Raven Guard in a tournament I played in recently. This will share feedback and thoughts I've had after said tournament. I will break down each game in a post of it's own in this thread, so don't worry if you don't feel like reading a wall of text. Without further ado, here is the basic breakdown: Tournament - 1 day only - 3x 1500 point games and 1x 500 point game - Unbound lists allowed! Standing - I tied for 4th place (which is REALLY good for me, as I'm more a casual gamer and the other lists were brutal) My 1500 point army list: So, on to my thoughts: The Good: The Raptor Wing is golden. These guys are easily my team of the match. They took out so many targets and caused so much havoc it was crazy. Ignores cover is big. My devastators were awesome with this rule and popped many a priority target for me. Scouts are great. Most of my opponents either thought they were an easy kill or were useless and got a nasty surprise for their hubris. Scout bikers are a must. The grenade launchers helped quite a bit with a number of targets with its versatility. Having Shrouded for the first game turn makes the army so survivable. Could weather the storm of fire and come back for a nice counter punch. The Ugly: My Captain was "eh" at best. The extra hits were great, but on anything tougher than a marine you suffer greatly. Having the auspex on him was a waste, so need to change that idea. Having only 1 squad of bare minimum assault marines didn't make the best use of Winged Deliverance, so was pretty underwhelming. It did help the scout bikers a little, but nothing major to report about. Hope this helps everyone in some way. Feel free to comment or ask questions for me to clarify. Victorus Aut Mortis!

I like all of this. It's all very well thought out and makes perfect sense. Well done, top notch. I'm agreeing with you (and everyone else) that option 2 is a good idea. Considering Corux is hunting down renegade Mechanicum as well, I can see a good story link with him bumping into his exiled sons, seeing the work that they do and giving them the "big thumbs up"

@ Knight of the Raven: Thank you kindly

Hi all, Don't know if this thread is still alive or if I'm necro-ing this, but oh well. I've finally settled on making an 8th company Raven Guard force. Will post pictures as I complete them (I'm a very slow painter, so don't get your hopes up). Here is a link to my gallery with my current completed works: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/album/9456-raven-guard/

Thanks, appreciate it

So many fantastic models. Gave me much inspiration for my HQ choices of the Raven Gaurd flavour: Chapter master Chapter Master on Bike Shrike Librarian

Hi guys, Just a quick link to my gallery of my Raven Guard models that I've done so far. I hope I've done the veterans of the RG some justice with my paint scheme. Feel free to comment and to hijack this thread to show off other RG models that you like.

Whoops, that's meant to be a Land Speeder Storm Will fix it...

Nice report, good read, especially your later comments. Always good to hear Shrike tearing it up in combat. It's a solid list and sounds quite good. My only experience for LSS is to put on a heavy flamer. That seems to mitigate their BS and it's always fun to toast something squishy in cover.

Thanks, appreciate it. Allies is an option. I just mentioned the Wolf Rune Priest simply because I play them as an army too I did mention that a librarian would be helpful too. Maybe a level 2 with possibly getting Invisibility Thanks! They don't? Oh well, the it was only a 6+ in this rep anyway, which I didn't make Thanks for all the positive comments, and for other ideas! Keep 'em coming!
