2750 : 1st Legion Ravenwing

[Aeternus]

First draw up of a Ravenwing force to start with. Would welcome any and all suggestions and critiques, though I'm not aiming to optimise the list as best as possible (basically I would like to leave the champion in, even if it is a less than viable hq to add).

 

Can possibly add more jetbike squads in future, however am wondering whether it would be better to go with more small squads to decrease chance for Covenant of Death VP loss, or larger squads to maximise firepower output from each one.

 

Possible things to add would be: More Jetbikes, or a Caestus with a Terminator squad in.

 

HQ

 

Praetor (Jetbike, Acid, Rad, Digital, PF, MC PB)

     

    ^ Command Squad (Jetbikes, Acid, PF, PW, Combi-grenade, 3x Combat shield)

 

Centurion (Champion, Jetbike, Refractor, Acid, Terran Greatsword)

 

Centurion (Primus, Jetbike, Refractor, Acid, Terran Greatsword, Combi-grenade)

 

Troops

 

Jetbike Squadron (5x, Acid, Sgt with Calabanite blade, MB, and Rad)

 

Jetbike Squadron (5x, Acid, Sgt with Calabanite blade, MB, and Rad)

 

Jetbike Squadron (5x, Acid, Sgt with Calabanite blade, MB, and Rad)

 

Fast Attack

 

Javelin Squadron (3x, Each with 2x HK and Multi-melta)

 

Land Speeder Squadron (4x, Each with Grav, 2x HK and Multi-melta)

 

Lightning Strike Fighter (3x Kraken missiles, Battle Servitor Control, Ground tracking)

 

Heavy Support

 

Fire Raptor (Hellstrike Missiles, Reaper battery)

Looks nice! I've had minimal experience with Ravenwing tactics, so let us know how well it works out.

You might find some of the discussion on this thread helpful, especially towards the bottom of the page where there is some discussion around the merits of command and normal squads of outriders and jet bikes. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331711-2500-dark-angels-ravenwing-protocol/

 

Will all your HQs be going in the one squad, or splitting between the jet bike squads? You might like to put them all in the one squad, but up it to a command squad with a few shields and maybe a smattering of extra power weapons. It makes a hell of a target, but with your speed, T5, 2+, jink and FNP, they should be reasonably survivable.
