With my dark eldar forces nearing “completion”, I’m working on getting my Dark Angels playable again and would like to field a mostly (or all) Ravenwing force. The following is what I’m building towards for 2000 points:

HQ 1
Sammael on Corvex
-Ravenwing Command squad x5
-Apothecary upgrade and Ravenwing Standard

HQ 2
Librarian (Level 2) on bike with PFG
-Ravenwing Command squad x5
-Apothecary upgrade

Troop 1
Ravenwing bikers x 6
-Meltagun x2
-Meltabombs on Sgt
Attack bike with multimelta
Land Speeder with Typhoon Missile Launcher

Troop 2
Ravenwing bikers x 6
-Meltagun x2
-Meltabombs on Sgt
Attack bike with multimelta

Fast Attack 1
Black Knights x 6
-Meltabombs on Sgt

Fast Attack 2
Black Knights x 6
-Meltabombs on Sgt

Fast Attack 3
Deathshroud Speeder

Should total out at 1976 pts and not sure what to do with the remaining 24 pts
Thoughts on the list and/or what to do with the extra points?
Other questions:
Also, is the level 2 psycher upgrade for the librarian really needed?
Is this too many Black Knights or should one be dropped to add a 2nd Deathshroud Speeder?
Seems like a squad of Deathwing could be a good boon to the force with the teleport homers. Would it be worth it, and what should go to make that happen?

While I’m building up the rest of the Ravenwing force though, I would like to give it some playtesting, even if it isn’t complete.

The following list is what I’d like to try as a starter that is using models that I already have built/painted:

2000 Point Dark Angels with IG Allies
HQ 1
Sammael on Corvex
-Ravenwing Command squad x5
-Apothecary upgrade and Ravenwing Standard

Elites 1
Deathwing Terminators x5 + Assault Cannon

Troop 1
Ravenwing bikers x 6
-Meltagun x2
-Meltabombs on Sgt
Attack bike with multimelta

Troop 2
Tactical squad x 10
-Lascannon
-Plasmagun
-Rhino

Fast Attack 1
Black Knights x 6
-Meltabombs on Sgt

Fast Attack 2
Deathshroud Speeder

IG Allies

HQ
Command squad w/ 3 plasma guns
Chimera with Multilaser and HF

Troops
Vet Guardsmen w/ 3 meltaguns (in Vendetta)

Fast Attack
Vendetta

Heavy Support
Leman Russ

I just want to get something together that is reasonably playable in a friendly setting to start getting a feel for the Ravenwing.
I have a good amount of additional models available to make changes to this force. These include:

Land speeder w/ HB & Assault Cannon
Land speeder w/ HB and TML
10+ terminators with most weapon combos
20+ tactical marines w/ most weapon combos
5 assault marines
Chaplain
Belial
Whirlwind
30+ guardsmen w/ most assault weapons and Lascannon/Autocannon teams
3 sentinels (lascannon and multilaser)
Additional Vendetta
Master of the fleet/astropath

Any help would be much appreciated…
Thank you
