Video keeps stopping and you have to reload the page…..????

It’s now changed from a bow.tv vid to a youtube vid.

Guy’s thanks for the video’s so far.

Made it eaiser to deside to get rid of my old DA models and start saving up to go Grey Knights 🙂

Pity I’ve already bought the new DA codex, only thing it’s good for now is if I run out of bog roll 🙂

Pfft. “Mega Bolter”?

The Vulcan Megabolters on my Titans fire (H)15 ST6 AP3 shots. Goodbye Space Marine squad! My Stormlord gets the same. You’re right, its not a Megabolter, its a glorified Assault Cannon. Granted the difference in price between the aforementioned and the Nephilim is something qutie significant, but the point stands.

That’s my issue with the Fighter itself; its just ‘meh’.

I’ve only watched the first 3 mins, unfortunately I’m out of time so I’ll watch the rest later, looking forward to it.

FYI for anyone interested: Relentless does affect salvo, you can move and fire 4 @24″ with the banner affecting these guys.

Just to confirm guys, relentless says “models can shoot with heavy, salvo or ordinance counting as stationary even if they moved” So you get the 4 shots even if you move.

got to agree guys, the new wound allocation stuff hit the RW really hard especially the knights, they went from really good to kinda crap in 1 FAQ answer

Personally id never even take either of the fliers. if i really wanted a flier id go Allied Sm and get a storm talon, cost less and have far better weapon options

I dont know if the rules allow this, but i would take 10 Ravenwing black knights, give the Huntsmaster a power weapon add a Ravenwing commad squad with a Apothercary, blade of Caliban and the Ravenwing Company banner (cant fail hit and run). Then finally add a Librarian lvl 1 on a bike wiht a powerfist or something for hard hitting in combat.

Would that be a unit i should consider making for a ravenwing army,
I should say that i havent played 40k in 7 years but with the new book iam gonna get back into the game.

the Attack Squadron can have a landspeeder as well as an attack bike. usual points, to add it onto the squadron, i’d be tempted to take missile launcher on it so bike’s aren’t shot up straight away

As far as modeling, the land speeder doesn’t give you much options; you get heavy bolter, multi-melta up top and assault cannon only down below.

The ravenwing box gives you plenty of bolters, so the double heavy bolter option is easy enough, but what are you guys doing for d-mm or d-hf?

Okay so first time commenting on of these videos but I need to point out a mistake. Skilled rider not only ignores dangerous terrain tests but more importantly gives you plus one to your jink save. This makes the knights a lot better, as they have a 4+ save against almost anything that can get through their armor save. if they jink or are accompanied by the stealth speeder this is increased to 3+. This rule also makes Ravenwing command squads the best banner carriers in the army as they can be accompanied by a stealth speeder turbo boost and… Read more »

I agree with almost everything you’ve mentioned here, but I’d like to bring up a combo that I think could be pretty cheesy, if used properly. The “Skilled Rider” rule for Black Knights doesn’t just let them ignore difficult terrain, it gives them +1 to their Jink save as well, bringing those guys up to a 4+ cover save on a turn where they move, and a 3+ when they turbo-boost. Combined with a Darkshroud’s stealth, that save goes to a 3+ cover save on a turn where they move and a 2+ on a turn where they turbo boost.… Read more »

quite like the stasis bomb myself and the shroud but both models would have to be converted there just… horrible i would rather lose a hand than build one of them there that horrible.

A way to use ravenwing? Plasma-spam! 6×3 Guys with plasmaguns for 660points. + Black knights with Libby They move, claim a 5+ jink and have fun! And because it’ll be mentioned on this topic: BoLS put out a dark angels 2000pt list that won a big tourny 5-0: · HQ – Sammael – Raven Sword, Adamantite Mantle, Corvex, Night Halo. · HQ – Librarian – Mastery Level 2, Auspex, Space Marine Bike, Force Staff, Psychic Hood. · HQ* – Ravenwing Command Squad – 3x – 2 Corvus Hammer, 2 Plasma Talons, Champion w/ Blade of Caliban, Apothecary w/ Narthecium, Standard… Read more »

Hey guys, The Ravenwing Black Knights are annoyingly nerfed by the FAQ entry you mentioned yourselves, but I would correct something said, one of you said if they don’t wipe out a unit they’ll be charged and then they’ll be held up. This is WRONG WRONG WRONG… (sorry for the drama). These guys have 2 attacks each, with 2 CC weapons (hammer and pistol) and if they don’t wipe out a unit, they should charge them. 4 attacks each with S5 rending? Yes please. Better still, even if that doesn’t do enough (which vs a lot of targets it would,… Read more »

Yeah the black knights are actually pretty good. The corvus hammers being described as a “military pick” should have been given some type of AP but you have to remember that they are just a CC weapon. Still rending is great; AP2 wounding regardless of toughness is awesome when they come with the weapon. One point about the ravenwing grenade launcher is that the rad grenades T debuff affects the instant death threshold. Therefore the plasma talons are able to instant death 2 wound GK paladins by dropping them to T3. That by itself is insane! GK’s are popular and… Read more »

@darrell you could always combo the dark talon with jaws, that would be funny lol

@coverttoaster remember with the ravenwing grenade launcher only effects models under the template and not the whole unit like the stasis bomb from the dark talon

@smee you mean ‘every model in a unit hit….’

I think the effects of it can go either way (by model or by unit), but its another issue of some poor wording in a codex, it will get FAQ’d but I do see your point.
