What have your Raven Guard done lately?

[9x19 Parabellum]

I don't need to see your list to accurately inform you that with those 182 points YOU NEED ANOTHER DREADNOUGHT!

[thewarriorhunter]

I was thinking the same, a dreadnought should fit nicely in there.

[Jacques Corbin]

Well, I already have 2 Ironclads in the list. I am telling you, move them up aggressively, pop smoke, and dare your opponent to shoot at them. They make great back up to Scouts that deployed from concealed positions.

 

Now, I do have my Venerable, I like him best with Twin Lascannons and a Missile Launcher. Now he is some good air defense, hits on 2+ normally, and 3+ vs hard to hit Fliers. Yes, he would fit nicely.

[thewarriorhunter]

I have a venerable that I need to work on as well.

 

I've been good this year with not buying anything new. I paint slow enough that I can probably work on everything I have and not buy anything next year aside from a few paints, or getting my air brush up and running.

My new RG list could well include 2 Redemptors a Repulsor and some more assault terminators :D

[Dracos]

If youre using Assault Termies why not a Land Raider instead?

[duz_]

I deep strike them in and go all or nothing

They're surprisingly resilient with their 3++

At least in my experience

[Dracos]

Respect

[thewarriorhunter]

I love my cataphracti because they look awesome but I do wish they were faster. 4" move and half your advance roll is brutal.

[Race Bannon]

BIG respect and :wub:  Man, I'd pay money to see a video of the action.

[Jacques Corbin]

Do you drop Sheike in as well for reroll charges?

[duz_]

He only works on FLY units :(

I do like to back them up with him or a chappy though

[Race Bannon]

Terminator Chaplain for the imagery?!

[thewarriorhunter]

He only works on FLY units

 

 

Actually it's only on JUMP PACK equipped models. No sending your rerolls for land speeders or storm ravens.

[Jacques Corbin]

Sorry, lunch break on a jobsite, with no codex handy. Off now and home enjoying a beer by the fire. Damn I love my new job.

 

Oh, and here is my list I promised.

Ok, that comes to 1818, so what should I add to bring this list back up to 2000? I was thinking 5 more Bolter Scouts with Cloaks in a Land Speeder Storm for a nice neat 150, or adding bare bones Sternguard instead of the LSS. I rarely use Shrike, but I like the flexibility of starting him and the Assault Marines on the table, or dropping them in and getting at least one charge off with Shrike's reroll. That jump Lt always earns his points back, especially if he gets Might of Heroes cast on him. I like the Flamers, especially vs Assault armies, jump in their way, and flame on. I might switch HQs around a bit, who even knows. 182 points is a nice bit of wriggle room.

[thewarriorhunter]

I wish I could play faster, that looks like a fun list. I tend to play ~1k point games because I don't play enough to handle 2k point games well.

[Jacques Corbin]

Yeah, now that Chapter Approved dropped, everybody wants to play again.

 

I like the flexibility and options that 2000 points offers. 1K games are quick and fun, but there is less redundancy and options.

 

Seriously though, what should I do with that extra 182?

[thewarriorhunter]

We already told you. You need to field an additional entombed Astarte that has not yet given up hope that he may once again serve the Emperor it an iron behemoth who's only purpose is to spew hate and molten death towards the enemy in the hopes that he may avenge his fallen brethren while exacting rage for the confinement that he feels.

[Race Bannon]

In other words ...

 

Skim more points for a Land Raider ^_^

[Jacques Corbin]

A Landraider?! And who would ride in that? I would rather bring whirlwinds. Nah, I am leaning towards more scouts for more board control.

[Race Bannon]

I've read somewhere Hunters may be a new thing ;)

[Shadow Captain Vyper]

Contemptor Mortis with 2x Twin Lascannon is 168. If you free up another 24 points, you can squeeze in the Typhoon Missle Launcher for the carapace mount as well.

 

Thats my vote.

 

If you do opt to go this route, I would probably drop 1 LC from each dev squad, and get a Heavy Bolter in one and Missle Launcher in the other for the Flakk Missle/Hellfire Shells/Cherub/Signum tech that is one of our better Stratagem options.

 

I like your list, looks like a blast to play, very TAC.

[Brother Quixote]

Vanguard Vets with jump packs.  Load them up with some power weapon/claws/relic blade + storm shield goodness.

 

Assault marines hit like a wet noodle.  Vanguards get the job done.

[Dracos]

Yay ,,, BattleScribe has updated with points from Chapter Approved. Actually assembling 10 of my base coated Hellblasters for my new 1k list.

Listen Dracos, you know how this works. If you post you have a new list, I'm just gonna ask you to post it. Much like how RB will chime in with suggestions of a Land Raider the moment anything with armor is mentioned.
