Multiple Speeders - 2006/04/25 11:04
Hi all,
I'm about to finish painting 4 new Ravenwing speeders to add to my mixed wing force for a total of 5.
I have not decided how to use these yet within my regular force, and by no means do I NEED to use all of them at once!
I have had some success with my single Speeder by keeping him protected until a mid/late game strike/counterstrike. It can usually wipe out well over its cost in enemy models before falling to return fire. And, in fact, I have usually been able to keep it from being totally destroyed. But, I have never been able to field more than one up until now and I am looking for some advise as how to proceed.
So the question is, how would YOU use a plethora of RW Speeders, with any weapon combination, in conjunction with other units?
Do you like squadrons, or are they too fragile?
(I'm thinking fragile, but I've never fielded a squadron.)
How do you keep so many speeders safe from enemy fire early in the game? Or, do you simply rush with them and pray that you do enough damage before they fall?
Another possibility in the near future is a pure Ravenwing force. All I need at this point is a Master o' the Ravenwing to lead my 5 Speeders, Bike Chaplain, 2 squads of bikes (each with one melta & a PFist Sgt), and pair of attack bikes (interchangable weapons).
For a viable Ravenwing force, what else would you suggest?
Do you prefer the Master to have a bike or a speeder?
(I think I prefer Speeder, but knowing me, I'll probably build both.)
Any advise on Speeder and/or general Ravenwing tactics is welcomed!

The hinting tone, the haunting laugh:
Thou art the adorner of my tomb,
The minstrel of mine epitaph."
