Breachers hang back and pick off armor. Destroyes in a pod with the tech priest to counter big monsters or deathstars with grav. Raven wing command squads push forward escorted by the the darkshroud getting a 2+ rerolling jink, they cant be overwatched and they get furious charge from the legacy of glory on it. Sicarans engage light armor, troops and flyers.
Scouts can either infiltrate or hold back objectives in cover. Interrogator chaplain with the six man command squad granting rerolls when they charge along with his own s 8 attacks with the mace and furious charge. I know a weakness is flyers in my list but ithink i should be ok with the plethora of s 7 haywire and grav shooting i have to just throw up in the air. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Can't have two Ravenwing Apothecaries.

Wow that Battle of Signus prime legacy is _ideal_ for a dark shroud, great find!

Ah thanks for the catch on the second Apothecarie, and yeah the battle of signus prime is nice since the Darkshroud should be used to escort your bikes might as well pay 35 points to give them furious charge.

Consider dropping the second RW Command Squad and Darkshroud for a full RW Support Squadron. You'll lose some of your assault power, but you gain three landspeeder Typhoons with Anti-Grav Upwash, Strafing Run, and Interceptor. All those small blasts can help you out with hordes.

The Signus Darkshroud is a great idea, I plan on running one with my DA army.

I did think about something similar, but i can not honestly remeber the last time i ran into a horde army in the local meta where this going to be held, so i am not sure dropping plasma and the punch of the knights is worth bringing something to counter something that is not prevalent in the meta.
