1498p/1500p

1 HQ, 6 troops, 0 elite, 0 fast attack, 3 heavy support

List is for games where FW is allowed obviously. Aiming to make best use of the Raven Guard chapter tactics, scout moving up the tacs and devs while the ASM close fast.

Against air the aim would be to ignore it and assault.

Any Raven Guard players have good insight on list building so far?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6072029.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6072029.page GMT Raven Guard 1500p, comments? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6072107.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6072107.page GMT Raven Guard 1500p, comments?

I was gonna say something about AA but then I saw the 'ignore it thing'.

Personally the Thundefire Cannons don't feel particularly RG to me, but that's just a niggly little fluff thing, and from a game perspective it makes sense.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6072212.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6072212.page GMT Raven Guard 1500p, comments?

5 Actually, 6 with my minor edit.

Point costs should be safe unless I start breaking down individual option costs. Captain Korvydae makes Assault Squads troops, so I do not need a second mandatory troop choice. I will however drop the scouts down to 5 as a friend suggested I save 70 points from scouts and 70 points from the devastator squad filler and make a new outflanking 10 man tactical squad.

Yep, good eye on the Korvydae. As for Flyers, I know it is a bit ballsy to just ignore that part of the game but in a list as aggressive as this one where I am assaulting in theory on turn 2, I think that even against heldrakes I may be able to entangle myself enough to get out of being shot. Whether that is totally viable is yet to be determined.

The TFC are not exactly fast assault elements, but I figure that they are the heaviest support firepower that can be drop podded in, so reasonably speaking a RG (Revilers actually) force of this size could include a couple.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6076005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553567/6076005.page GMT
