Went up against necrons, lost ultimately, my terminators preformed like champions until the end, taking out pretty much anything they got in melee combat with, but that overlord was fully loaded out, and i did not last long.

My bikes on the other hand, all 9 of them, i did not make a single jink save the whole game, one died to a charge, the other lost 2 to getting shot, and the last group lost a guy to getting shot before going down in combat.


Was i just rolling bad? or are ravenwing bikes not as strong as i thought they were on paper?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8769379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8769379.page GMT Is ravenwing jink that bad? or did i just get really unlucky http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8769387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8769387.page GMT Is ravenwing jink that bad? or did i just get really unlucky

Might be both. Jink gives you a decent pass rate but if you believe what the Internet says about...well everything you're in for a bad time.


Ah just on paper it seemed good, a 50% chance to save seems pretty good.

But damn, i learned a valuable lesson, necron lords are Strong as hell

People talk about the Ravenwing jink because it can be made to a 2+ re-rollable, which is pretty obnoxious.


Yeah in my 1500 point list I dont run a darkshroud, in my 1850 and 2k list i do, 2+ rerollable seems very nasty

If you retooled jink (4+ sv) then it's a bit better then 50% it's 75%.
Also it depends how you play them utilizing terrain and/or night fighting only makes the ravenwing reroll more obnoxious.
Most armies don't have plentiful ignore cover but armies like tau make ravenwing armies cry.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8770192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8770192.page GMT Is ravenwing jink that bad? or did i just get really unlucky

Oh i fully accept im boned against Tau, the only hope i would have is some how make it close enough to drop terminators, Or manage to get a mind wipe off on their larger mechs]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8770238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8770238.page GMT Is ravenwing jink that bad? or did i just get really unlucky RW/DW mash ups for 1850+]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8771305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8771305.page GMT Is ravenwing jink that bad? or did i just get really unlucky

I appreciate that you want to build a fluffy list, I just think in general 1000 points is two low to do two expensive aspects of our army. I tend to save the RW/DW mash ups for 1850+


Oh yeah, it was not even my complete list, my ravenwing deathwing list was kitted for 1500, 1850, and 2k

The 1k list was like thrown together. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8771668.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696291/8771668.page GMT
