I am a Raven Guard player all the way and have been for 10 years this Dec. I loved CC scouts in 5th and am still using them with some good results in 6th. I have Shrike and his wing back from several codex ago but am not using him due to i think he is overpriced right now since he can no longer assault first turn if you go first. So here goes

Chapter Master
-Burning Blade
-Artificer Armor
-Jump Pack

Scout Squad
-10 man
-CC weapons
-Vet Serg with Power fist and melta bomb

Scout Squad
-10 man
-CC weapons
-Vet Serg with Power fist and melta bomb

Iron Clad
-2x heavy flamer
-drop pod

Assault Squad
-10 man
-Vet Serg with Power Fist and melta bombs

Landspeeder Sqaudron
-2x H Bolter and MM
-1x H Flamer and MM

Now here I have two choices
Option A

Thunder fire Cannon

Devastator Sqaud
-10 man
-4 ML with Flakk missiles

Scout Bikers
-6 man
-vet serg with power fist and melta bombs

Vanguard Vets
-10 man
-1 with 2x Lightning Claws
-2 with Power Fist and Storm Shield.

Scouts
-5 man
-snipers and camo cloaks

Option B

Storm Talon
-AC and Storm Hammer Missiles

Storm Raven
-extra armor, locator beacon and Typhoon missiles

Tactical Squad
-10 man
-vet serg with power fist
-flamer and missile launcher

Vanguard Vets
-10 man
-2 with 2x lightning claws
-3 with Power Fist and Storm Shield.

Chapter Master goes with normal assault squad.

I feel like option A has better fire power with devs and thunderfire, but B makes it feel more like RG being very mobile and able to redeploy or hit where i need to. Any thoughts or suggestions. Reminder this is not a WAAC list, I just want it be be friendly but still competitive.

The power fist with melta bombs combo seems kind of redundant and I would opt for snipers over close combat scouts unless of course you are just looking for tie up so they can eat overwatch before your heavier hitters come in while they are engaged.

Other than that it looks nice and fluffy. I'd opt for option B but trade out the Storm Talon for a Thunderfire cannon and spend the left over points elsewhere. The storm talon seems too fragile, especially with intercepting Tau and Aegis Defense Lines everywhere.
