I struggle with a pure ravenwing build, three bikes is not a big unit and despite T5 small arms fire will take you down as you only have a 3+ save. i really think a synergy of threats is the best way to go with Ravenwing if you want to go that way. Im looking at a more diverse list at the moment.
I've been thinking of this list.
Ezekiel (with the Knights)
9 DW knights
2 x 10 man tac squads with plasma cannon and gun and vet sargeants
5 sniper scouts
Nephillim
2 x Contemptor Dreadnought
Land Raider crusader
1849
air threat, massive beatstick threat (knights out of the land raider) and objective holders (5 troops choices if i combat squad). The alternative is take my hyperios and an aegis defence line with a quad gun in place of one of the contemptors.
With Ezekiel in the Knights they benefit from his +1 WS making them ws6 and he had mind worm for any nasty characters and if that goes off taking them out in close comabt is easy when they're -3 ws,bs, i and ld PER WOUND from a d3 s4 ignores cover attack. with prescience as well and another power (theres a couple of options there) its quite a nasty unit.
