I'm just back from another tourney, using a variation of the list. More posts incoming. Let's have the conversation after them. I really appreciate your interest.<br />Embrace Your Inner Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175279670690377675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290806675829794805.post-30779877379064002682016-02-24T20:22:41.593+00:002016-02-24T20:22:41.593+00:00Good report EYIG!

I must say I'm thrilled that someone did as good in this tournament with a Raven Guard list - I play Raptors/Raven Guard and it gives me hope to win some games against the top tier list out there! I'm quite happy with some of the conclusions you came up with, mainly the flexibility of the list. That is exactly how I envision the Raven/Raptor's way of making war. I have a couple of points I'd like to share as food for thought:<br /><br />- Reserves manipulation: how much did you miss it? It looks like the Reserve rolls were going well for you at LVO, but is it something you would consider in a future iteration of the list? Of course, with the kill teams, you already get a pretty good control of where and when to strike...<br /><br />- Vanguard Vets: have you considered running two squads of 10 instead of three squad of 7? It probably won't give you the extra ooomph! needed to crack a full dedicated CC unit, but it could give you 4 units to harrass/tie-up shooty or scoring units. In other words - do you think that combat squads of Vanguard could be more usefull and maybe help you save some points by trimming the gear on the Vets a little?<br /><br />- Devastator: this one is bugging me a little. I know points are scarce when building a competitive list, but don't you think that a couple of heavy weapon on the Dev squad could help you crack transports and Void Shield Gens?<br /><br />- Locator beacon: knowing that they need to be on the table at the start of your turn to be of use, don't you think you have a lot of points invested in those that will go to waste (mostly) if you go first and alpha strike with the Vanguards? I understand your concern regarding precision drop, but this seems like overkill knowing you have the scout squads on top of those to guide you guys in.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your results!<br /><br />JPjpwyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321279411580155881noreply@blogger.com
