Hello everyone

So I have been slowly working on a Household Cavalry Imperial Guard army (Will always be IG too me). For that I am using the Death Korps Siege Regiment from the Siege of Vraks Imperial Armour. Now I know Death Riders are not the most competitive but that does not mean the list cannot be as competitive as possible. Now I do not want any Infantry. I would really appreciate as much feedback as possilble, especially regarding the vehicle composition

Death Rider Squadron Detachment - 470 Points

Death Rider Company Command Squad - 180 Points
Death Rider Colonel

Death Korp Death Rider Platoon - 170 Points

Formations are pretty straightforward, you're allowed to choose from the units listed. FW units are rarely (if ever, really) allowed as unit choices for GW-issued Formations. The Emperor's Spear Aerial Company lists Valkyries and Vendettas as the options, ergo those are the allowed Flyer choices.

That being said, if you play using the Death From the Skies supplement this allows you to take Flyer Wings of Thunderbolts in a Air Superiority Detachment and gain the requisite bonuses.

Yep aware of this, I just did not know of the following

So thank you, will allow me to include them, so will be back with a rewrite shortly I hope
