Obviously all models have the Ravenguard keyword and chapter tactics.

The two centurion squads will "strike from the shadows" while the ...warlord and Kavaan deep strike into the centurions' proximity to aura them up.

The rest sits back at objectives while providing ranged AT fire. The captain is a cheap mixture of buff and counterstrike while the dreadnought hopefully draws fire.

Since the centurions set up before enemy deep strikers you can use them to a certain extent as area denial.
This list is probably not the best ever created but I think it is also far from being the worst.

Sounds ballsy. I could only suggest a lib with a jump pack to get in there and throw down some buffs. Other than, kinda brilliant because if centurions get in range, they are wood chippers.

Dont forget the relic jump pack on your vanguard detachment HQ! Also don you need 2HQs for batallion aswell?

So many badass Raven Guard lists! Dig it, the centurions are different, but they work very well I think.

The one thing you'll struggle to do is kill armor from range with 5 lascannon shots and 2 missiles. Now, your centurions will mulch whatever the touch, but they have to get there first.

Does Shrike not have a "if included MUST be warlord" rule? Or is that not a thing in 8th? I figured he would have to be, but whatevs if not.

I will say it's not maximizing his reroll for jump packers rule, but he is a blender, so I see including him.

my 2 cents.
