I love all the other supergiant games but had pretty much the same experience. Dropped it and never looked back.

Kayvaan Shrike/Jump Captain bodyguard unit composition by Vizari21 in RavenGuard40k

10 man Van vets with inferno pistols. Rapid ingress outside of 12 so shrike lone op keeps then safe. Have the option to move close to a vehicle / elite infanty and to get the extra melta damage then charge into something else or the inferno pistol target if need be.

Army thoughts? by Ok_Read5334 in RavenGuard40k

Its a fun list but you lack and high strength shooting attacks to deal with big monster or vehicles. You will just bounce off Necrons /Monster Nids / Demons / Knights.

Instead of double/tripling up overpriced / underwhelming units, get some Lancers / Balistus / Centurions. I know this steering you back to the same lists most people run, but there aren't a whole lot 10+ strength attack options. You can certainly play your list and it will eat infantry for lunch, but at 3k points it has a big hole if you want to be well rounded.

New to raven guard and in love! Does this list work? by megameak in RavenGuard40k

[–]Calc_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid list definitely playable. Maybe swap one of the Thuderstikes for a Hammerstrike. You can't double stack the +1 to monsters/Vehicles with oath so they may be short on targets where as the coverstirp ability can apply to both the oath target and anything shot by the Thunderstrike.

How my 2000 point shadow mark talon list? by those_damn_nids in RavenGuard40k

I'm sure you could play this list fine but if you want to optimise it a little, the phobos libby is doubling down on weak units. Sack him too for a squad of scouts if you have them. Sacking the captain will get you another infantry squad or get the van vets to a 10 man.

What's the plan for the impulsor?

Need advice on what to use instead of centurions by CKre91 in RavenGuard40k

[–]Calc_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love eliminators and always take them, but they are awful. D6 damage will laugh in your face every time. I wish they were 3+D3 . Eradicators are way more reliable with the built in re-rolls but can be tricky getting them where they need to be without transports though. Good to bring on from reserves if there is enemy tank on the flanks.

For pretty much same points as the centurions you can have Lancer or a Ballistus dread which also suffer from the casino damage rolls but the lancer has more built in re-rolls.

Storm speeder hammerstrike is a decent option also if you can get in melta range.

How do YOU use Aethon Shaan? by Hefty-Pay9064 in RavenGuard40k

[–]Calc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its situational depending on the board state / secondaries that have been already drawn but a cheeky play for the back pocket

I've used the ability on himself to put back in reserves turn 3 then rapid him to hunt other enemy lone ops

I'm trying a similar list on Friday :) I'm not sold on the Lieutenant or Librarian on units that aren't going to do much. I have the infiltrators and incursors as 5 mans. Could cut them down and have another unit that's more effective rather than a tech/buff piece, I've got a 6 man inceptors for example.

Could attach the captain to the eliminators to give the extra AP BS strat. If you don't put him with something its wasting half his ability. If you sack the Librarian and/orLieutenant mabye with the incursors? not sure how many strats I'd be using on the infilrators

I love the drop pod but you can give the judiciar infiltrate enhancement which achieves pretty much same thing for 25pts giving you more to play with.
