Next month at the shop there will be an 1850 tournament and I want to field a pure ravenwing list. I threw together a list using what I have right now which is pretty much all dark vengeance bikes.

HQ
Sammael
Interrogator chaplain with mace of redemption
Ravenwing command squad x5 with ravenwing company champion and grenade launcher

Troops
6 ravenwing bike squads with 2 plasma guns meltabombs power sword on Sgt and an attack bike with multi melta. X3

Fast attack
Land speeder with typhoon missile launcher and heavy bolter x3
Land speeder with 2 multi melta
Nephliham jet fighter with lascannons

Total 1842

I was considering a librarian instead of the chaplain but the rerolls to hit with the corvis hammers and being able to hit and run automatically with the 4d6 move will make them pretty decent in combat. Also I was considering a powerfield generator but the knights have a 4+ junk anyway and it will force them to bunch. I also considered losing the second hq or the 5 man squad for a flier. Is the apothecary worth the 30 points for that unit or is their junk good enough for when needed? I was considering using a meltagun and plasma gun for the bike units but I have the 3 multi melta attack bikes and melta bombs already. Also it will save me work cutting up the plasma guns on the bikes. I know this list won't be that competitive but I want to stick to only ravenwing and try to make it as competitive as I can. Also I have thought about the banner of devastation and with its 6" range it will cause even more bunching around the command squad whos plasma talons won't benifit from. Any input would be appreciated thanks guys.

Any input guys?

What about dropping a Land Speeder to fit in a Nightshroud? May be a good force multiplier for Survival.

I'd take the Librarian over the chaplin because you can take some good psychic powers. Also, give the libby (or chaplin) the power field generator (gives every model within 3" a 4++, even enemies).

Also, you migh want to consider droping the champion and adding an apothecary and a standard of devestation. If you do that drop the plasma out of 3 of the RAS. I'd also drop 2 RAS down to 3 bikes and an attack bike and take 2 meltaguns and a multimelta. Out flank with both of these units and go armor hunting.

I'd drop both landspeeders and take another RW command squad, maybe out flank them as well.

Taking a techmarine on a bike with another power field generator and keeping hime with sammael and the other RW command squad would be a nasty unit as well.

Id run a unit of six black knights in place of some speeders.
