Silk Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hello guys, I am sorry that I am asking again, but todai a good friend of mine and my most gaming partner, told me hell why I dont start Raven Guard -.- So I wanna ask you, if I would start the RG I would like to play with some drop pods and stuff. Is this playable? And additionally I would like to add some battle Automatas, either with a Preavian ( in the FW rules there is a special rule if wilI use the rite of war ) or as allied attachment. So my last question is, is this fluffy? The Battle Automata in the Raven guard? or its just meeeeh not so well? i hope you can help me :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320588-raven-guard-and-the-automatamechanicum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Every Legion had every resource available to them in large numbers. Sure they had preffered methods of warfare but the Imperial Fists were just as capable as launching a stealth mission as the Iron Warriors were a jetbike force. Basically, RG would've had automata under Tgier Previans to assist in thier stealth missions. Probably augmented by thier stealth technology. Plus rules wise you get infiltrating automata. Suuuuper awesome. Oh and on drop pods, RG are THE drop of Legion, thier Decapitation Strike RoW is built for it!

Fenbain Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Plus their homeworld's moon became a Mechanicum Forge World after the Emperor arrived. So lots of goodies to hand.

Well considering in 2 Boxes you'll have 60 Tactical bodies it's more than enough! Get yourself some special weapons/ dark furies/ Corax etc and have a ball. Infiltrate the tacticals, drop pod the special weapon teams - it's all good! Plus Contemptors help sure up your heavy firepower from the lack of heavy support slots in the Decap Strike RoW.

Atia Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yep Kiavahr is basically a mini Forgeworld (although not officially a FW), and the RG has mechanicum allies there :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320588-raven-guard-and-the-automatamechanicum/#findComment-4341120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally up to you, but I'd say keep them dark for maximum stealth ;) as is the RG motto. Some flashes of white too.

Hergrmir Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The fluff specifically mentions that the tech-guilds of Kiavahr/Deliverance/Lycaeus aren't actually part of the Mechanicum, and it's the fact that they're a Legion home system that prevents Mars from asserting its control. But it's pretty comparable to a full fledged Forgeworld. So my suggestion if you really want to push that angle is that you can avoid red if you don't like it and say it's that the forges of the system are producing things without the heraldry of Mars. I guess if you feel like going further you can remove the Martian cog on things as well, but that could be a lot of extra work.
