This army is in 6th edition as that is what I play with my friends...

Sammael


Ravenwing Command Squad
-Ravenwing Grenade Launcher, Champion, Ravenwing Company Banner

Ravenwing Dark Talon

Ravenwing Attack Squad x4
-Flamer, Plasma Gun

Ravenwing Darkshroud
-Assault Cannon

Exactly 1000 pts total

My plan would generally be to utilize the Ravenwing company banner and constantly hit and run, while supporting them with the Ravenwing Darkshroud's Assault Cannon and abilities.

Thanks]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8754306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8754306.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing DA codex got an errata to allow up to 2 extra Black Knights in the RW Command Squad.

I'm not keen on the assault cannon upgrade for the Darkshroud, as it should always be Jinking.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 6th ed Sammy only makes standard Ravenwing Attack Squadrons into Troops, so you're short by one troop?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8754964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8754964.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing

I have 1 HQ (Sammael + Command), 4 Troops (4xRavenwing Bikes), and 2 Fast Attack (Darkshroud, Dark Talon)

Also, what would you recommend that I use the points from the assault cannon for? How much do the additions to the RW Command Squad cost?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8754999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8754999.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing
I have managed to find the 6th edition FAQ (I'd saved it on my computer), here's the bit for RW Command squads:
Page 96 – Ravenwing Command Squad, options.
Add:
“• The Ravenwing Command Squad may purchase up to two
additional Ravenwing Black
Knights……………………………………………..40 pts / model”
Change the first bullet point to:
“• One Ravenwing Black Knight may take a banner from the
following list:
- Ravenwing Company Banner*...........................................15 pts”
- Revered Standard................................................................25 pts”
- Alternatively, the may take a banner from the Sacred Standards
section of the wargear list.”
Note sure what exactly I'd use the assault cannon points for, as you'd have to drop RW bikers for anything significant. I'd be tempted to work in some melta but the old combat squads rule wasn't great for RW.

Another thing to note is that in 6th, the Standard of Devastation is pretty brutal with Ravenwing bikes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755096.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing
Also, where did you initially find that FAQ?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755101.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing

The FAQ's have moved about quite abit historically - from the GW site to the Black Library, and back to the GW main site again. Here's a link to the current (7th) versions, though they've currently got the next versions in draft form on their Facebook page.

PM me your email address and I'll be able to send you the 6th edition one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755117.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing WS and BS of the unit that is being assaulted to 1, and the Ravenwing Grenade Launcher's Rad shells to reduce the Toughness of the unit by one, or would my army be easily shredded to bits?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755172.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing

Would it be a valid strategy to constantly hit and run, utilizing the Ravenwing Company Banner to automatically pass the initiative test, the Rift cannon on the Storm Talon to lower the WS and BS of the unit that is being assaulted to 1, and the Ravenwing Grenade Launcher's Rad shells to reduce the Toughness of the unit by one, or would my army be easily shredded to bits?
It's definitely a valid tactic, although I remember the Rift Cannon itself being a bit underwhelming? S5 AP- with a Blind test? But it still has the stasis bomb and the hurricanes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755185.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755185.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695619/8755188.page GMT Re:[1000] - Dark Angels - Ravenwing

Should I exchange it for more bikes? Also, why is the standard of devastation so good?
