Heyo all,

Been tweaking my Blood Ravens to be more tournament worthy (was previously quite the low model count and fairly elite).

After seeing the london GT heat 1 ultramarine list I wanted to do something similar but with my own flavour. So here we go:

Raven Guard Chapter Tactics

Battalion:

HQ:

Librarian w/ Force Stave, Bolt Pistol, Jump Pack - Psychic Powers: Nullzone, Veil of Time

Techmarine w/ Chainsword, Boltgun

Troops:

5 Man Scout Squad w/Boltguns

5 Man Scout Squad w/Boltguns

5 Man Scout Squad w/Boltguns

Battalion:

HQ:

Captain w/ Plasma Pistol, Chainsword (Teeth of Terra Relic)

Librarian w/ Force Sword, Bolt Pistol - Psychic Powers, Psychic Fortress, Nullzone

Troops:

5 Man Tactical Marine Squad w/Lascannon

5 Man Tactical Marine Squad w/Lascannon

5 Man Tactical Marine Squad w/Lascannon

Dedicated Transport:

Razorback w/ Twin Assault Cannons, storm bolter

Razorback w/ Twin Assault Cannons, storm bolter

Razorback w/ Twin Assault Cannons, storm bolter

Vanguard:

HQ:

Gabriel Angelos - Warlord Trait, Storm of Fire

Elites:

6 Man Aggressor Squad w/ Autobolstorm Gauntlets/Fragstorm Grenade Launchers

5 Man Sternguard Veterans w/Combi meltas & sergeant with storm bolter/chainsword

Relic Sicaran Punisher w/Punisher Cannon, Heavy Bolter, Lascannon Sponsons


So the list is designed to have lots of obsec and extreme weight of dice when it comes to Dakka. The scouts first and foremost would be setup to screen or prevent alpha strike lists. The tactical marines all have a lascannon amongst them to provide a nice bit of punchy firepower hidden in each squad that can provide fire all over the board and also are there for objectives obviously. Depending on the opponent the razorbacks can take these squads wherever needed as well as providing high output of fire along with the Sicaran or can even work as a shield for it (the techmarine is a cheap HQ that's there to repair the vehicles).

Depending on the opponent, I can opt to go a few different approaches. If I get first turn then I'd have everyone loaded up in the transports moving up the board to support the Infiltrators (aggressors & sternguard) that Angelos would deepstrike alongside providing rerolls to fire off over potentially 100 shots as well as Storm of Fire warlord trait so potentially a fair few -1 bolt rounds go through. Also with the Librarian w/ Jumpack providing Debuffs and buffs. If not I can potentially just castle up with the scouts and tacts as screens and just go for a static gunline.

Thoughts?

Cheers all!
