I Need a good way of destroying Dark Eldar Ravengers with my Space marine army.
Any Ideas

You're choices are pretty endless in the marine book. Melta-guns, daka predators, good ol' devastator squads. Anything S5 can glance it, so even heavy bolters and assault cannons can do it.

You're spoiled for choice really.

The thing with ravagers is that they are armor 11 open topped. They explode very easily and if he's jinking, he's snap firing, so that's a win too.

As mentioned, you have a plethora of options. You can use Predators with Autocannon and Heavy Bolters, Assault Cannons, Missile Launchers, Meltaguns, Plasma Guns. If you have a unit of Tactical Marines nearby, they can throw a Krak Grenade and then assault it with Krak Grenades to blow it up in close combat very easily.

But let's imagine that you're asking because you're facing a huge number of them and need them taken down as fast as possible...

Your most cost-efficient option would likely be a Drop Pod of Marines with a Meltagun, Combi-Melta, and Multi Melta, and throwing a Krak Grenade. A better overall unit would likely be a Storm Raven Gunship.

Thx for the help, and as luck would have it i always run a squad of "Melta Marines"(Kombi, Melta, Multimelta) and have will be reciving 2 Stormtallons and a stormraven in the near future.

Cheers,

Don't forget every marine in your army carries a s6 weapon (Krak grenade). I cannot tell you how many hull points I've stripped with those.
