Here is an idea I had for a fun list to play with ravenguard. Let me know what you think.

ELITE

Vanguard Veteran Squad 317 pts
jump packs, 5 vets with grav pistol and power sword
vet sgt with grav pistol, power sword and melta bomb

I will drop the vanguard to add some heavy support to take care of flyers or tanks.

Well I think that it is more concerned with being fun rather than competitive so I don't know. ( as an aside are you suggesting the Hunter?) I thought it would be cool to have Shrike and Korvydae both join the Vanguard unit to have a cool infiltrating unit with stealth, fleet, and hit and run. Plus 50 assault marines running around the battlefield with obsec that can use their jump packs both for assault and for movement. I like the idea of sneaking around from cover to cover while trying to get into cc as soon as possible. My biggest concern is that someone wouldn't let me take Korvydae (as he's a forge world model) to have the assault squads as troops.

I used a list in 5ed with only Korvydae (nobody said no again him). I only used him to free my fast choice.

My list was

Korvydae

10 assault squads
10 assault squad
5 scout (sniper + hb)
5 scout (botler + hb)

2x stormtalons
3x landspeeders (2 x multimelta assautl cannon, 1 hb + typhoon)

Now I will used the same list but I will add some landspeeder storms for the scouts and some centurions and two small tact squads.

Never won with that army, but was fast as hell.

3 Storm Ravens should solve all of your anti tank and anti flyer needs.

You should still have enough points left over for 3 squads of 5 sniper scouts, 3 squads of 10 assault marines, a squad of 10 vanguard vets, and Shrike.

Sounds like this would be your best bet here - still a fun list but you won't get tabled as it's actually fairly viable

Thanks that sounds like the way to go

Keep using Korvydae to open wour fast attack choice.

I'd keep 2 Assault Marine squads as 10-man as meathshields for the characters, and then I'd combat squad the rest to make them more survivable! Otherwise, pretty cool list

Get some melta-bombs on your vanguard vets. they can each take them. Nothing is less fun than watching your vanguard vets run into AV13 walkers and have to rely on shrike rending and korvydae's hammer as your only way of dealing with them.
