so had my first games with the new codex ravenwing with this list:
HQ
Sammael - corvex (200)
RW command squad - 5 bikes, apoth, Standard of Devastation, 1 g.launcher (295)
Int Chap. - bike, auspex (135) (warlord)
Troops
RAS - 6bikes, 2 meltaguns, attack bike - mm, landspeeder typhoon with heavy bolter (311)
RAS - 6bikes, 2 plasmaguns, attack bike - mm, landspeeder typhoon with heavy bolter (321)
RAS - 6bikes, 2 flamers, attack bike - mm, landspeeder typhoon with heavy bolter (301)
RAS - 3bikes, 2 meltaguns, attack bike - mm (155)
Fast Attack
3 Black Knights - 1 grenade launcher, meltabombs (131)
1849pts
was playing nicks grey knights/blood angels. The list worked well, I used movement early on to focus my force against part of nicks force. I was able to stay out of the grey knights nasty 24" range shooting for the most part and get the first shots against him due to speed. The dakka banner was good first game but didn't really get to shine the second game. Both games the command squad got caught out and charged, and annihilated by the death company or termies, so I possibly could play them better. Not sure the Chaplain is worth it though, but perhaps that was just my playing and he'd be better against a different foe.
Black knights were great with their plasma talons. the rad grenades i think will be situational so may drop the no. of them to 1. Outflanking attack bikes were great. landspeeders were ok, again vs different enemy (horde) they might perform better, but they are so fragile.
Only combat punch in the army is the command squad which can be brutal if it gets the charge but is also the main target due to the banner. Might rethink this a bit.
Great to get the bikes out! maybe I shall convert a biker librarian...
