I am putting together a Raven Guard Army for 40k. An assualt/scout styled (fluffy) army. However, I wanted to add some air support.

Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle?

Should I get 1 of each? or 2 of one type? Or is 1 enough?

Suggestions greatly appreciated!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210346.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210346.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210405.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle?
Also, unless you bring certain units, I believe you can only field 1 unless you're playing 30k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210420.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210420.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210517.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle?

In my own case, I have a Storm Eagle. But that's because Fulgrim needs his fancy ride. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210544.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210567.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210722.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle?

Given how much these flyers cost (both $$$ and in points), and the fact that they *must* start the game stuck in reserves, you probably only want one.

Now, what role do you want the thing to play?

If you need a transport, or anti-tank gunship, I'd say get the Storm Eagle with TLLC's.

If you want an FMC/anti-infantry/anti-transport dedicated gunship, I'd say get the Fire Raptor.


In general I would typically recommend the Fire Raptor because it can scratch that specialist anti-FMC itch better than other platforms and still engage multiple targets, but it all depends on what you think your army really needs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210742.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210742.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle?

30k Raven Guard get a unique storm eagle that has stealth and Blind+Concussive Missiles


Well that is food for thought. I was actually going to use FW preheresy miniatures, raven guard minis, and for the assualt minis use the BA sanguinary winged jump packs. I wanted to cross use this in both 30K & 40k. I think with that info, that Storm Eagles have some special rule for RG in 30K & the fact I do not have any anti-tank, I think the SE might be better.

BTW, I can get either for $90 (brand new) from a guy getting out of the game...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210795.page GMT Should I get a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668054/8210838.page GMT
