Masters of Shadow

Raven Guard

“Victorious, We Shall Strike Again”

Shamed by Isstvan and forever wary of betrayal, the Raven Guard fight a war of shadows, striking from concealment and melting away before retaliation can land. Corvus Corax's sons are few but relentless, favouring Shrike-led infiltration and lightning strikes over the grinding attrition other Chapters accept. Every battle plan is built on darkness, speed and the certainty that the enemy never sees the blow that kills them.

Army Rule

Oath of Moment

At the start of your Command phase, select one enemy unit within line of sight of any ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit: it is your Oathed unit until the next Command phase. Friendly ADEPTUS ASTARTES units re-roll Hit rolls against your Oathed unit.

Raptorous Strike

RAVEN GUARD units that Advance can still shoot with Assault weapons without penalty this turn, and gain the Benefit of Cover against all attacks made against them until the start of your next turn.
