Raven Guard Army

I was very much attracted to the background of the Raven Guard. They weren't litany spouting fanatics like the Black Templars, and they specialized in special operations type raids, while still being capable of taking the enemy head on if necessary. They encourage initiative and independent thinking in their commanders. (If only I could live up to their example...) Since the Raven Guard are described as having limited resources with respect to heavy equipment, and having access to the older suits of armor (especially Mk 6 Corvus Armor), I thought they were the perfect marines to be represented by my oldest miniatures, including the first plastic space marines ever released, back in 1989 (I think).

This army was most recently featured in the Silex Campaign, a series of four battle reports.
