Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars. The rules are above average and cheap enough for the damage that they can cause.
Background.
A decapitation strike unit to mirror the darker Raptors fielded by the Night Lords, except they are much more disciplined and largely on the loyalist side of the conflict per se.
Strengths.
Two wounds combined together with the Raven Guard's Raven Talons makes for an excellent melee unit overall whose movement is helped by the jump packs and backed up by being classed as a Falcon by the special rules of the legion. You will want to pull off the charge here and get them into close combat as rapidly as possible. Just beware of obvious reactions against them.
Weaknesses.
They are not very customizable.
Difference to First Edition.
Two wounds is great, combined together with precision striking and sudden striking and this make for a formidable assault squad. Just watch the positioning.
Builds.
9 Dark Furies, 3 Choosers of the Slain (295 points).
Worth the extra cost for the bonus attacks and WS for the Choosers. Not much else to add here other than the melta bombs might be good depending on the situation.
