The idea of this list was to exploit the 2nd detachment at 2k points to spam five stormraven gunships. I wanted to post this here to discuss and receive feedback concerning the competitive viability of this one-dimensional tactic. Most importantly, the enemy shall certainly be surprised to be sure, and this list bestows the knights considerable survivability and maneuverability combined. What does the online council have to say about this?

Not sure what you are trying to do here...
The knights cannot ride in the ravens b/c you will have no units on the board.
As a general tactic it is OK but vulnerable to things like Tau

It is invalid to mount all knights in ravens? I'm confused. Haven't played since 3rd and 4th so I'm rusty on some rules.

Don't post points for upgrades its ok to post the total amount for the unit but not for each individual upgrade

It's fine, but you lose the game if you ever start a turn without any units on the board, and all the ravens must start in reserves. So, you need something to deploy for turn 1.

Ah, so my ridiculous tactic is flawed at the core of the concept. Well then, thank you for the education.
I never knew that rule for the thirteen years i've been playing, but then again, I've always been a casual.

It's only the case with the most recent rules edition.

Couldnt you start with your troops disembarked on your deployment zone and wait for the ravens to come in from reserves and then pick up your troops? You would need to get your troops 18" up to catch a ride if it works out.

You can't embark into a zooming flyer, but I think you're allowed to embark on a vehicle that went over 6". So you could hover on 12" and get in. This of course opens your ravens up to all the high strength shoots hitting you on normal ballistic skill.

Necron Flyers have special rules. Read their book for details.
As to how they don't get tabled T1, they usually have wraiths or a court of some kind on the table.
