Greetings brother,
As of this moment i am ramping my Ravenwing after somewhat done with deathwing and battle company... I was just wondering in 6th edition now... is a full RAS finally be worth it? I'm thinking that finally now that the Landspeeder Tornado that comes with RAS can outflank... it might be pretty sweet to come from the side and blasting stuffs up.. I know that Typhoon is still awesome sauce for the pts we paid them for, but will a Tornado on RAS will finally be worth it? So what you guys think ? Anybody has any experience with a full RAS on 6th?

I started collecting DA just for ravenwing. With jink saves and everything else they get, i think their well worth it. though I am waiting for their 6th ed to play anymore though.

My personal experience is that they find it very difficult to make up their points cost by themselves. But they are not too bad as to be taboo among good players, so knock yourself out!
Just say you won't repent; I dare you!

Say what? Which rule change did I overlook that allows that?I'm thinking that finally now that the Landspeeder Tornado that comes with RAS can outflank... it might be pretty sweet to come from the side and blasting stuffs up..

They can't if they come in from reserves -- it was in the last DA FAQ.

thread title is a bit misleading...given that you're ONLY asking about the tornado...
I also highly suggest trying march10k's 2 Land Raider Deathwing list. It is by far a scary and awesome list to run!

I like running my full ravenwing list. its all about tactics how you like to run your list. you may not win tournaments with it, but its always fun to play.

I don't think the speeders have the scout rule either. As awesome as the ravenwing are, they're still too expensive. Every rule that 6th gave them was also given to every other bike in 40k. I've got my fingers crossed for skilled rider in the next codex though!

Damn that kinda sucks for the landspeeder. So basically it just there to held up the whole squad then since it practically prevents them from outflanking.... and the LS don't have scout thus not having jink on the first turn.

Got it!
Thats right! Stick to seperate Land Speeders for the time being. I believe that GW will keep the Ravenwing organization the same in the next edition so lets see how it turns out then.

Even with Scout they wouldn't have Jink on the first game turn, the Scout move is a "redeployment" not a "move" and further it's not done in a movement phase, it's a long way from satisfying the requirements for Jink
