I like the idea of an air cavalry list, but can't really afford to get into IG right now. How does this look for local competitive play? I don't have a lot of experience playing with the stormraven, any advice on weapon loadouts?

edit: the terminators and big marine squads will fly in the ravens, the razorbacks can then just be used for fire support.

well it looks good but i would change a few things but then again thats just me

your razorbacks have to many marines in it. I've always been partial to the meltas but that's my opinion. I want it hitting vehicles as hard as possible and maybe even tough units. Maybe put a dreadnought with blood talons in for some extra punch...I dunno ravens are easily shot down, only time I've seen them used well is a "cheap" suicide transport or a gun platform and getting it's payload from A to B was not essential...but I don't have alot of xp with it just sharing my thoughts XD

blah i forgot to mention the two big marine squads and the terminators will go into the ravens, using the leftover razorbacks as fire support and objective contesting.

i agree the ravens are not difficult to take down, but i really can't argue with an 18" assault. plus, AV12 is significantly better than the AV11 of a razorback considering the missile-spammy meta here.

not having jump packs on the marines is kind of a bummer, but i feel like 5 assault marines just aren't going to do a whole lot in close combat. with a little focused fire on the big squads as well they can always hop into a razorback too, haha. sadly the terminators will be left in the dust.

Juts keep your priests with the units that 6" FNP is awesome =D and 3 of them is juts to good to not have. Oh I agree but like I said it's either go cheap or go hard in my experience. The two razorbacks have 10 marines right? You can only have 6 I think right? But, either way I think you're on the right track just remember BA like A LOT of synergy =)

The 10 marines won't be in the razors, they jump in the raven. The razor scoots around empty.

At the OP, I'd take MM/PC or MM/LC on all my ravens. HB are pretty worthless unless en masse.

you can buy a razorback for any size unit that can take a dedicated transport. so a 10 man squad of assault marines with a razorback is perfectly acceptable.

as for the list overall it seems that your gimping yourself with the ravens. personally id only take 3 if i was playing a 2.5k list or more. this is mainly because at that point lvl im able to fully utilize the 3 ravens by having assault units inside plus a furioso/death co dread. also i prefer my ravens have the multi melta and lascannons with them. i rarely ever find a use for any other weapon option as i will usually kill whatever im shooting at in the assault phase and can do a sweeping advance sling shot with the dread and unit inside. plus going with lascannons and multi melta your able to pop any transport that needs to be popped so you can assault the dudes inside. also extra armor is a must have for a raven. nothing like not being able to move and have your raven's base surrounded and destroyed.

with the points you save from dropping a raven you can get 2 speeders with h. flamer/mm and would try to find the remaining 10 points to get a 3rd speeder. they will help deal with high armor and can roast things like d. eldar. not to mention they have the ability to thin down units to a more manageable size. also cant forget the last turn objective contesting from these
