http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Pulling the list together is the bikers who can bring the hurt to vehicles and most elite units the scouts wouldn't be able to handle, potentially turbo boosting behind Lias and finishing off whatever target his Infiltrate Isolate Destroy special rule didn't take care of. Reserve Support comes from the Thunderhawk with Tactical Squad and tri flamer Dreadnought for objective clearing, wielding lascannons for a simple and effective anti air device. Two drop pods with five man special weapon squads can pick at opportunity targets or take it safe representing my minimal investment in redundant late game objective grabbing, perhaps using reserves manipulations from Lias to come in late.

I feel that this list has merit in a friendly and competitive setting, because it sticks to the theme of the raptors by eschewing heavy armor in favor of lightning fast surprise assaults and tactical precision, and as such can keep it's own against all but the top tier lists if properly implemented. Some of the points could certainly be tightened, and Shrike or a dual captain setup could have serious merit. But it is the Reserves Manipulation, Shrouding granting and sternguard support from the raptors as opposed to the devastating first turn charge from shrike and the beautiful raven vanguards I've been putting together, I wish I could fit them both, but that would mean dropping the bikes, which I've been neglecting for a while despite their seeming greatness, let alone the force organization charts.

Between themes and for adjustment, where would you take this list design from here?
