So two ancient Codexes going to go hammer and tongs, on Saturday morning. I've never tried pure(ish) the Black (ravenwing) they've always come a distant third to Bone (deathwing) and Green (Tactical and so on) mainly I didn't have the figures and to be fair Ive never seen the need.
However, in all the games of Sixth Ed in which we play we roll the scenario at the start of the battle and so we dont know what we play until the last minute. The big thing in sixth Ed is scoring units which make the current and hopefully so to be replaced Dark Angels Codex gold because the special characters Belial for Team Bone (Deathwing) and Sammael for Team Black (Ravenwing) make Terminators Troop for Belial and Ravening Fast attack Squadrons Troops for Sammael. This means that they scoring units.
Also now bikers now need a ST 10 hit to instant kill... of course Sammael is immune to Instant kill so feel no pain in that unit is just funny along with the extra attack...
In the list below as is I have 5 scoring units Two 6 man Ravenwing squardons and two Attack bikes and one 10 man Tactical squad Combat squadding them gets me eight it depends on the terrain and the mission whether or not I will. If the mission is Big guns that gets me an extra scoring unit in the devastator squad there to kill Chaos Space Marines in large mumbers. I didn't take Land speeders because they dont score as they are vehicles and I ran out of points, but they dont kill marines good and only have two hull points with this new sixth ed
