i really like the model. Ive got three razorwings and I like the changes to them quite a bit.
ive never been a huge flyer fan and im not thinking the void raven is going to be the most competitive option. but from what weve seen so far, how can we make it something to be feared?

It's powerful, with the missiles and the bomb. Sure it costs 200+ points. If you consider it costs 140 it would certainly be feared.

New to DE so take what I say with a pinch of salt

I think the best way to implore the use of the Void Raven is to have multiples, or have Razorwings to accompany them.

I would try and keep them as cheep as possible, Night Shields for increased Jink but other than that not much, you start going into Land Raider terrority if you get the missiles, while having the durability of the Raider.

I intend to run one at my 1000 point list when I have it bought, glued and painted, the model looks amazing

I'm not really seeing much value in them.

They remain, basically, just a decent option for anti-air dog fighting. The missiles were made vastly less expensive and they're still not really worth taking to my mind.
