Background.
Calm. Composed. Smart tactician. Very disciplined. It is not hard to see the reasons that Raldoron was the equerry to Sanguinius himself. His own life in the legion followed the calm approach and not the over the top flashiness that some of his brothers (and cousins) may have favoured.
Strengths.
Raldoron is precisely what we might expect of a Praetor of the legion that is tooled up for close combat and short range fire fights.
Beyond the (basic) Praetor mechanics, Raldoron is able to select his warlord trait. This makes him an almost default commander for when points values do not allow Sanguinius to take to the field.
His sword deserves a special mention here. It is a fantastic master crafted style paragon sword that gives shred, but fundamentally is not a specialist weapon either. This is fabulous and not encountered anywhere else in the game.
Weaknesses.
None really. Perhaps that he can only be taken as a loyalist? I'm struggling to come up with negatives to be honest.
Overall.
He's a praetor with a great weapon and ability to select the warlord trait. He will see a lot of play in Blood Angel armies of the Horus Heresy.

A weakness for Raldoron is he cant take a jump pack in a legion where it pays to take jump packs. Means you either have to play a completely different RoW just to field him or put him in an transport with...stock tartaros terminators or something similar.
