Rottimus Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hi, I newly got a hold of the DA codex. I'm planning on a small allied force to help me deal with necrons (blind + rad grenades) The entry for the command squad ravenwing, along with the FAQ states that the squad can take a banner. The Standard of fortitude gives the squad feel no pain yet is cheaper than upgrading to apothecary + the apothecary loses his bolt pistol and thus his +1 attack. To me, it makes NO sense to upgrader to an apothecary when you can just give them a standard... is this correct? am I missing somethihng?

Centurio Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You may want to use a different banner and in that case add the apothecary.... But generally you are correct, that banner is a deal IMO.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yes indeed. If you give the squad te banner of Fortitude, then you have no need for an apothecary, only for sakeof redundancy. Any other standard and the apothecary is an almost mandatory upgrade.

SnakeChisler Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The standard is Biker + 85 points The Apothecary is Biker + 30 points If your running the force as allies then the Apothecary is generally the best way to go the standard of Fortitude is the best way with mixed Terminators If your fetching a Dark Talon then the squad will need the Banner of Devastation, I have the Talon and its very easy to get it within 6 for the full 24 bolter shots from the 2 hurricane arrays the blind template is only 18" but you need the grenade launcher within 12 to reduce their toughness. As a spam combo goes its certainly gonna make its mark, getting Rending with the Librarian is useful stick it against a plane and then fire 24 TL bolter shots at it :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304698-please-help-confused-with-ravenwing-command-squad/#findComment-3978344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
