Fangbanger Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi gang I came up with this idea the other day as a side list to build while I make my main force but quite tempted to go down this route instead now as it seems fun. Would love some input +++ Flight of the Raven (3000pts) +++ + HQ + Alvarex Maun -orbital assault ROW + Elites + Legion Veteran Tactical Squad x 5, Combi Melta seeker, pod Mor Deythan Strike Squad [8x Combi-weapon, Legion Drop Pod, 7x Mor Deythan] Mor Deythan Strike Squad [8x Combi-weapon, Legion Drop Pod, 7x Mor Deythan] Mor Deythan Strike Squad [8x Combi-weapon, Legion Drop Pod, 7x Mor Deythan] + Troops + 10 x tacs, pod 10 x tacs, pod 10 x tacs pod + Fast Attack + Primaris-Lightning Strike Fighter [battle Servitor Control, Ground-tracking Auguries, 3x Kraken Penetrator Heavy missile] + Heavy Support + Legion Fire Raptor Gunship [Hellstrike Missiles, Reaper Autocannon Battery] Leviathan Siege Dreadnought [Cyclonic Melta Lance, Heavy Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Leviathan Siege Drill, Phosphex Discharger] pod Leviathan Siege Dreadnought [Cyclonic Melta Lance, Heavy Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Leviathan Siege Drill, Phosphex Discharger] pod +++++ Plenty of fire power, Maun no seater once he drops down after turn 1 in a Deythan unit along with 4 other pods (levis, vets and another Deythan or tac) Didn't want to spam levis but you need that survivability with drop armies I love decap, but all pods will look cool as :cuss! Using to 3.5 I'd add some furries and then corax to 4k (Posted at heresy30k too so apologise if your seeing this twice!)

Harrowmaster Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Not a bad list though it looks like you will get no benefit whatsoever from the Raven Guard LA. 3 sets of Kraken penetrators are overkill unless you anticipate a Fellblade or the like. You have little in the way of close combat maybe drop a squad of Mor Dethyan for termis or Dark Furies.

Fangbanger Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Dropping a squad of Mor Deythan I lose a pod and feel I need the 5 turn 1. I appreciate combat, love it. But after play WE for a couple of years I can live without it. I know I have nothing for Raven Rules but Maun will help bringing the flyers on and pods in place, plus having this let's me run a decap list too minus the levis and pods but with eagles and typhon instead. Yeah I think I need the extra Kraken. Plenty of super heavies at 3k, plus the melta team are designed to take out any AA when they drop How do you feel about the levi load outs? Maybe give 1 a claw for combat/primarch chopping?

Harrowmaster Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It depends on what you expect to face, siege drills are much better against vehicles but so if you anticipate lots of those stick with that, otherwise I would say the claw has much better all rounder utility.

Fangbanger Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 I could do one of each Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330129-flight-of-the-raven-3k-orbital-assault/#findComment-4630469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 That way you would have enough versatility to deal with whatever you come across.

Nusquam Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 You needn't worry about using 100% of all available rules every time. Its a trap you can fall into. RG are great in Orbitals. I would drop third Kraken missile set. Youre unlikely to use them. You come on, shoot 4 missiles, snap fire the TLLC, and your opponent returns fire and you jink or lose the Lightning. Next turn you fly off, if it survives with it being made of paper and all, flies on turn 4. If at turn 4 your leviathans havent cracked anything worth shooting the Krakens into you have a lot bigger problems.

Fangbanger Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Fair enough, a good breakdown I'll chuck the points into the vets or deythan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330129-flight-of-the-raven-3k-orbital-assault/#findComment-4630613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
