Thank You very much

Which one is more fun? What kind of units do you like?

For competitive play, The Deathwing versus Ravenwing question has an easy answer: Ravenwing can compete against the best (they can really ruin Eldar). Deathwing, like all terminators, are just not worth their points in a meta full of AP2. But adding a minimal two Deathwing units to an army of Ravenwing can be a lot of fun to play!

Also when planning your purchases, you can't go wrong buying models you think look cool! Everything has a niche and there's no total garbage units in the codex (except poor Asmodai).

Competitively, buy as many Black Knights as you can.

Sorry guy, I make a mistake I just found out that I don't have that extra "Ravenwing Bike Squad - 105"
So I will 100% need to get 1 set of model, should I stick to the original plan and get the above, or get a black Knights but need to drop something if I do, any suggestion? Ravenwing attack bike or Ravenwing Land Speeders?
