	In 7th Edition, the Raven Fighter is an old as balls FW Flyer. It predated the major Dark Eldar 5th edition overhaul and it shows. What it has going for it are the strafing run rule and +1 cover on evade (to 3+). It can reroll the scatter if it's within 12" of another skimmer or flyer. Mounts two dark lances and a heavy 10 splinter cannon. Way overpriced at 205 pts (the much better Razorwing will be 195 when fully kitted out), but hey, it's fast attack now, freeing your HS slots - which would mean something if we didn't already have four good-to-great Fast Attack options.

	Despite being heavily armed for a light strike fighter, the Raven is still susceptible to the usual Dark Eldar standard-issue 'Worse than fucking [[Flak Armor]]' cardboard plating. So while fucking deadly against tanks and infantry, they start falling like flies when a dedicated anti-air vehicle such as the [[Hydra Flak Tank]] is in their line of sight.
