Ravenwing 2000 points
Probably one of the simplest and most straight forward lists I've written in a while. Considering buying it and running it competitively. Need some opinions, please.

The thing I like most about this list is, like I said, it's modular. If you run it this way, you can use the Typhoons and Vengeance to 'spot', giving a BS bonus to your bikes as they zip around. You can also make a different list for the same points and models, and throw all of the RW bikes into the Strike Force Detachment, and combine all four of the speeders into the Support Squadron formation, giving them Strafing Run, Interceptor, and the Ravenshield special rule.

I totally understand the symmetry issues. Due to point constraints I had to make things a little bit different, hence why only 2 of the attack bikes are meltas, etc. My other option would be to downgrade to Melta Guns on a few bikes to upgrade the attack bikes back to multi-meltas, or even use the points somewhere else and have a few truly dedicated tank hunters.
What upsets me is that if I wanted to, the Lion's Blade could stack as many of these RW aux formations as it wanted, but because I don't want any tactical marines, I'm stuck piling them all in to the RW Strike Force. Since the Strike Force allows 12 FA, i should have enough slots as needed.

Decided to make some changes. Not significant, but just a little bit.

Weapons and points are juggled to kind of 'task' different units, instead of just making things redundant. Now I feel better about certain units armed with certain weapons!

I rather like how it turned out also. 2 all-around squads, 1 tank hunter, 1 heavy hunter.
ironically, on a very basic level, this army is IDENTICAL to my Saim Hann cavalry list that I'm busy putting together. It even has the trio of fliers (though I think that will be a 'thing' for GW in the future. I predict you'll see two and one in Tau, also).
