Karhedron Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 OK so the Ravenwing Detachment allows you Advance + Shoot and Fallback + Shoot all the time. Obviously this was written with Bike armies in mind but it a pretty decent ability and I am wondering if you could build other lists around the concept. A firepower-based army that can fallback and still shoot at full effect when it gets charged is actually pretty tasty. Even slow units like Gravis and Centurions can get some mileage in with Advance + Shoot and your opponent will not be able to silence powerful but short-ranged guns by charging them. I am assuming you would have to play as Dark Angels which would mean no non-DA special Characters but apart from that restriction, it could do some work. Can anyone else think of any fun unit combos with this Detachment?

Sir Clausel Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Eradicators and pretty much any tank will love that. A Valiant will like it very much considering its low range.

Tokugawa Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It has clearly keywords limitations. Do you really want to play an army with 0 stratagems(besides AoC) and enhancements for your core firepower units?

Tacitus Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I think I'd try the Firestorm Assault for that kind of shenanigans. All weapons have ASSAULT and +1S within 12" - Gladiators, Speeders, etc. Tokugawa and Karhedron 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382137-ravenwing-rules-but-without-the-bikes/#findComment-6017321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that really puts paid to this idea.

Haven’t looked close but two of those look cherry picked from the Vanguard detachment maybe two more from Gladius? If this cherry picking from the vanilla chapters is the future I can see skipping 10th like I did most of 9th.
