Hello guys. Ive been thinking about a pure ravenwing army, with some speeders becouse I love them. Here is the result:

HQ
-Sammael in corvex: 200
-Ravenwing command squad x5. 1 GL. Standard of Devastation: 265
-Techmarine. Bike: 70
-Ravenwing command squad x5. 1 GL: 200

TROOPS
-Ravenwing attack squadron x6. 2 meltas: 181
-Ravenwing attack squadron x6. 2 meltas: 181
-Ravenwing attack squadron x6. 1 meltas: 171

FA
-Darkshoud: 80
-Land Speeder Typhoon: 75
-Land Speeder Typhoon: 75

1498

The thing is put the techmarine in the standard squad for that 2+ save and Sammael in one RAS for the skilled rider. Ill probably leave the other 5 command squad outflankin for surprising and the Darkshroud will stay with the 23 bikes, turboboosting all the time untill it get destroyed (2+ jink save)
the two LS will stay behind the Darkshroud too for that +1 jink save or maybe stay a bit far and try to destroy light vehicules, light infantry or shoot MC.

What do you think about it guys? Comments will be apreciated

Your list looks awesome!

The only issue is outflanking the command squad. If you do that then you lose the Standard for a couple turns which amounts to a loss in some hefty fire power from the RAS.

Hope to see some pictures in the Gallery of your army!

As above, don't outflank. Your biggest asset of a devastation list is hitting hard and fast. You don't want to be waiting for reserves.

I don't know if the list is technically legal. Although the codex is written badly and does say you may take a RCS for each "HQ choice on a bike", I'm pretty sure as intended it would not include a tech marine, as you need a HQ to unlock him too.
I would contest it, and I suspect other players would too.

If you do run 2 RCS, then consider the Ravenwing banner, auto-pass hit and run can be useful.

If you use forgeworld models, consider the Javelin over the typhoon, same points for better armour and TL missiles. whats not to like.
