Looking to make Raven Guard, I feel like I'm doing it all wrong. I wanted more JP but ended up with fancy stuff in razorbacks. Any CC welcome. Thanks!

To get more JUMP! you could drop the assault termies for Vanguard Veterans with a combination of LC and TH. It would at least make them more mobile and have someone a little more stalwart for your CM to chill with. I would swap the Sternguard's Razor for a droppod or a rhino, since you want them shooting the special ammor more often. The LR can still be in the list as a Heavy Support rather than a DT. Also your Chap Champ is kitted for rip + tear but is in a Razor. Maybe give him a jumpy and make a death star?

No expert, just some thoughts.

Thanks, I'm gonna take a look at this today and make some edits, I've been reading a few of the other RG threads too.

If you are looking to make them jump pack Raven Guard you should look into adding Captain Korvydae to run with your chapter master. He requires you to take a scout squad but also makes your assaut marines troops. Has hit and run and is great at squishing what your CM can't.

Drop the termies, honor guard and razorbacks for a strong squad of cheapish vanguard. Flip your tacs and stern into drop pods. Personally I would drop the lightning claws from your assault sgt's. Just their to burn stuff and scramble for some ObjS fun.

This is of course if you want more jumpy and less (a lot less) razorbackish. Lots of fun.
