So planning for an escalation league here. We've already started at 500 pts. Next month will be 1000 pts standard FOC, and the third month will be 1500 pts. Let me know what you think, and maybe some improvements.
I'm mainly looking for c&c on the Ravenwing squads, I'm very new to using bikes and how to get the most out of them.

Typhoon and apothecary would be better than bikes in your first list.

In general stormbolters are just not fun and the banner is worth it, chainfists are ok but are limited usefulness.

Bikers are worth it if you plan to deathwing assault but most of the time it is a better plan to sit back and chuck missiles.
Also you are over reliant on just missiles, it is always worth mixing up fire power to have a range shooting, that is take some other nontermy shooty units.
