====Tactics==== Of your three doctrine bonuses, your best one is the melee one; while +1 to hit when you don't move is a ranged tactic, you can instead regard it as mitigating the problem if you fail to Fall Back, in return for Inner Circle making you incredibly hard to wound. Your second best one is the devastator doctrine one, but ravenguard black knights ''suck'' for their cost even before you realize they don't benefit from it - instead, it's ''far'' better on everything else Ravenwing. Your chapter tactic for being immune to combat attrition or morale entirely just means you have even less reason than usual to field Chaplains, Ancients, or anything else that offers morale support; as a general rule, you still want to go MSU (for blast resistance, if nothing else). Here's an example list to get you started, which is 2000 points right now; you can also drop 9 of the Bladeguard Veterans ''and'' drop the Captain from a Hammer down to a Chainfist to afford a Deathwing Repulsor, which will have enough room in it for the remaining 9 BG vets and the Ancient, but bear in mind your Repulsor's ''only'' upgrade from your abilities is +1 to hit if it stands still, which it's unlikely to do, and you give up half of your Vets in order to make the other half faster (if you could field a Deathwing Impulsor, this list would be re-written to field them). The Terminators all Deep Strike in, and the Terminator units all have Objective Secured, while the BG also have ObSec from their Ancient. *Vanguard Detachment (+3 CP, down to +2 after relics) **HQ: ***Captain in Terminator Armor, Thunder Hammer, Storm Bolter ****Relic: The Honour Vehement ***Lieutenants: 2x Ravenwing Talonmaster (Talonmasters are ''brutally'' cost-efficient, even on their own.) ****Pick one to be a Warlord with Rites of War. **Elites: ***Deathwing Terminator Squad x2 ****Sergeant with Storm Bolter and Power Sword ****Dude with Storm Bolter and Chainfist x7 ****Dude with Missile Launcher, Storm Bolter, and Chainfist x2 ***Bladeguard Ancient ****Warlord Trait: Decisive Tactician ****Relic: Pennant of Remembrance ***Bladeguard Veteran Squad x3 ****Sergeant with Heavy Bolt Pistol ****Veteran x5 </div></div>
