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.
Sorry. I just crawled out of the woods from a two week "camping trip" and feel like I haven't seen 40k in years. I just remember LVO style tournaments only allow like 2 sources for their armies (CAD, Detachment, Allies, Formation). So in those environments piling them all into the Strike Force and Support Squadron would be great. The single bike squad with plasma guns would irritate the crap out of me because it's not the same as the other three, but that's a personal quirk of mine. Overall I like it a lot.
I love the new "roles" oriented list! I'm with you on the Lion's Blade. It just doesn't seem to be on par with the C:SM versions. And even with all the oversights, the Ravenwing Detachment has really caught my eye as the real gem of the codex.
