So I have been playing a casual Ravenwing list with 2x Nephilims in it, and I was hoping to get some idea what those 360 (wasted? lol) points would be best spent on for those games where the competition is a little fiercer.

So the list so far:

Sammael on Corvex

Ravenwing attack Squadron: 6 bikes, 2x Plasma gun, Attack Bike w/Multi-melta, Land Speeder Typhoon w/Multi-melta

Ravenwing attack Squadron: 6 bikes, 2x Plasma gun, Attack Bike w/Multi-melta, Land Speeder Typhoon w/Multi-melta

Ravenwing attack Squadron: 6 bikes, 2x Plasma gun, Land Speeder Typhoon w/Multi-melta

6 Black Knights: 2x Grenade Launchers

I'm thinking that the Command Squad is looking much more viable now that you can go up to 5 bikes.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Take two Contemptor Mortis platforms for AA.

I don't see the standard of Devastation. This is weak.

Command squads are cheaper than RWBKs by 2 pts per model, it adds up.
Plasma on bikers isn't that great I find, since you can get it from your Black Knights at the same price but with twin-linked.
Melta works fine and you'll be firing your bolters most of the time anyway.

Sammael
Librarian, Lvl 2, Roll Invis
RCS 5man Standard of Devastation, Apothecary
RCS 5man

3man RAS, melta AB MM
3man RAS, AB MM
3man RAS, AB MM

Contemptor Mortis, Kheres, Cyclone

I don't see the point of typhoons, they don't synergise with the banner or anything except a Darkshroud.
Darkshrouds are really optional, they don't really contribute that much at the end of the day aside from +1 to cover and combat res (the last is quite good, actually)
Consider taking the RW standard, auto-hit and run + 4d6 Hit and run is extremely good for 15 pts and wins games. Too many of my games have hinged on a hit and run roll.
4d6 H&R can catapult you across the board in a turn.
