So after winning the new Gabriel Angelos Forgeworld model on ebay (one of my fav 40k characters after playing many hours of DoW). I thought I'd go with the Blood Ravens (also taken the hit and bought all the models ready to build).

I'll be using Raven Guard tactics for the following list:

Vanguard Detachment:

HQ:

Gabriel Angelos

Elites:


Redemptor Dreadnought w/2x Storm Bolters, Onslaught Gattling Cannon, Icarus Rocket Pod, Macro Plasma Incinerator


Cataphractii Terminator Squad:

Cataphractii Sergeant w/ CB, PF

4x Cataphractii Terminator w/ CB, PF

Terminator Assault Squad:

Terminator Sergeant w/ LC

3x Terminator w/ THSS

1x Terminator w/ LC



Spearhead Detachment:

HQ:

Librarian Jetpack: PS, SB - Powers: Veil of Time, Null Zone

Captain: Teeth of Terror Relic, Plasma Pistol

Heavy Support:

1 Space Marine Sergeant w/ BG

4x Devastators w/ MM


2x Hellblaster Squad:

1x Sergeant w/ Plasma Pistol

4x Hellblasters

Dedicated Transport:

Repulsor w/ 5x Fragstorm Grenade Launchers, 2x Krakstrom Grenade Launcher, Las-Talon, Onslaught Gatling Cannon, Twin Lascannon

Razorback w/ SB, Twin Assault Cannon

So list is light on bodies but relatively mobile. Terminators with Gabriel go Deepstriking straight in with the man himself buffing the Terminators with rerolling hits with the Librarian giving VoT for the reroll charge. The 2 Transports are taking the Hellblasters in one and the Devastators + Captain for the reroll buff in the other to go straight into the thick of it with the ability to take down hordes as well as heavies. The Dreadnought will hopefully be the main target as it footslogs up the field allowing the Repulsor to stay unharmed so it can stay effective.

Pretty decent ?

Could also switch the Librarian that's in the Razorback for an ancient Standard bearer to give the extra shots in death to both hellblasters and devastators

Thought I'd give this a bump!
