Tiger9gamer Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So, I did this once before and I got a lot of feedback, so why not do this again with non-forgeworld thing? I got 50$ burning in my pocket from some recent events, so I want to spend it wisely! now, I'm going to get Samuel eventually, so I have to thing about what else I should get. right now, my choices are: -1 box of the RW command squad for banners and stuff. Gotta get two boxes, but for now I only need one for a small list I'm doing. -1 Darkshroud speeder for cover saves -Ordering enough bits to make a librarian and chaplain on bikes (about 30$) -Save my money to get one more biker box or to buy two boxes of black knights. so, what do you think I should get next?

Brother dean Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The question should be asked, "What you have and what is your endgame?" I started out with Sam (on Sableclaw) so troops were my first priority, next is: DarkShroud. The model is a pig but the usefulness is extreme... I've proxied it and it is next on my list because only Tau and "ignore cover" templates can negate it, Also, I can scare up the coin for boxes of Black Knights easier than the coin for the supa speeda. Last is 4-5 boxes of Black Knights. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/The%20Ravenwing/DSCN9705.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Whatever you do, remember that the purpose of the Ravenwing is to DROP THE EMPEROR'S BEAT ON THE HERETICS. So, build accordingly in order to DROP IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 oh whoops! what I have so far is two complete RW squadrons with 6 bikers, 2 typhoons and 2 attack bikes. No sammuel yet, but azreal is a nice captain so far. I will get sammy soon, but for now I'm using azreal in a banner of devastation list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniard Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 personally i would buy more bikes, so the next time i play an apoc match i can fill the deployment zone with a swarm of bikes HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 i dont know if this'll help you out or not, but this is my biker list, which has had a stellar record so far, apart from a loss against daemons (first time i ever played vs those, so it was a given) and all-foot guard list that had 3 punisher russ' (those suckers can lay the hurt!) 1750pts Sammael on jetbike Librarian on a bike, lvl 2 psyker (usually divination for prescience and the one that lets you roll 3 dice for reserves, outflank, etc.) command squad with ravenwing banner (autopassing Hit&Run tests is very handy), apothecary, champion, grenage launcher, and a 4th biker. 2 6-biker units with 2 meltaguns each, the sergeants have meltabombs, a melta attack bike, and a typhoon speeder. 1 6-biker unit with 2 plasma guns, a melta attack bike, and a typhoon speeder. 6 black knights with 2 grenade launchers, huntmaster has a power maul. i liked the idea of sam on his speeder, what with it being armour 14 and having a 4+ invul save, but the fact its still only 2 HP and he loses his awesome 4/5 attacks with an AP2 sword are some big drawbacks to me.

Tiger9gamer Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Alright, thanks for the thing! but I think that I have to buy sammuel today, but I'm still wondering about either the command squad or the dark shroud.... I really wish this site had a poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I suggest getting the black knight box next. You'll be able to try out the Ravenwing's most elite unit and have a bunch of fancy parts to use in your HQ conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I do like the knight idea... I'm thinking a small three man command squad to start with. good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Other than they will die horribly.. Good Idea. Try them out and see if they are going to work for your playstyle... I've been proxying three for several games now and am very sure I am getting both BKs and the Darkshroud.. Darkshroud is just first for me... Ordering now in fact...

Tiger9gamer Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 eh, They will be sammies friend for a bit, going to do a small 1000pt force to start with soon, so I think I'll just give them the Ravenwing banner for the lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 If there are tau players around the dark shroud won't help much. The knights and command squad are nice, though with my past few games, the command squad hasn't been doing much, but I haven't played with the new expanded squad size.that should improve them adequately.

Brother dean Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Actually I didn't have a lot of problems with Tau shooting through the shroud. They did take it down but it took a bit and I was already across the table so its job was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 So my order of operations should be 1. Ravenwing command squad box (maybe two) 2. Dark shroud 3. Another box of RW bikes 4. HQ conversions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
