Unkindness of Ravens - XIX Legion

[Conn Eremon]

God damn it, Heathens, I was just getting caught up before going to bed.

 

Now I have to listen to some Two Steps From Hell until I can feel like a superhero who totally doesn't need a nightlight.

Is it weird that I find these pictures totally awesome?

I have been thinking how to incorporate the Skin Walker into a unit. I want to keep them separate from the Mor Deythan, who I was thinking would be good as seekers. So for the Skin-Walkers I thought assault marines, decked out in raven skulls, pelts, massive wings, war paint. Only thing is how best to incorporate the mask. Wikipeidia suggested a sort of prieshood, so maybe they could be led by a Chaplian, wearing a great big raven skull, like the guy from Unkindness of Ravens.

 

Fluff wise they are a group of hunters from Kiavahr, who lived outside the tech-culture, and were a resistance to the tech guys, on the planet. The rest of the legion keep there distance, they are a reminder of the days pre-imperial truth, and a lingering superstition.

 

I have returned the force to a late GC army, and with some help from Heathens I have started to work on a TO@E. The Battalion(Shadow Company, Shadow Force, Shadow Chapter?) will be a rapid insertion force, striking at key objectives behind enemy lines, securing drop sites, crippling defences, ect - very much the Raven Guard MO. I was thinking there would be 4 companies, first two would be airborn (assault squads, jet bikes, speeder, destroyer), line infantry (Thunderhawk and storm eagle inserted tac and support squads, some light armour - pontonless preds, Heathens suggested grav chute insertion which is a cool idea that I will see if can incorporate into the power packs), a pathfinder company (recon squads, seeker - Mor Deythan, vets - think special forces, maybe rhino mounted tac squads for advanced scouting, maybe the jump pack equipped skin-walkers), and lastly a company for securing dropsites, objectives, ect (slightly heavier amour, anti-air, heavy weapons, breachers squads - defence unit).

 

Obviously when extermination (or what ever its called) comes out I can adjust to take into consideration new RG units and fluff.
