About Raven Guard — Lore & How They Play
The Lore
Corvus Corax's Legion of liberators, forged on the prison-moon of Deliverance and all but annihilated at the Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V. They rebuilt in the shadows they now fight from — masters of infiltration, sabotage and the unseen war.
Pale-skinned and black-eyed, the ravens strike without warning and are gone before the echo fades.
On the Tabletop
The scalpel of the Astartes: infiltrators, reserves and flank strikes that let you choose every engagement. Phobos-armoured units, deep strikes and redeployment tricks reward players who love out-positioning an opponent.
Fight on your terms — isolate a target, delete it, vanish. Stand toe-to-toe in a fair fight and you're playing someone else's game.
Raven Guard — masters of stealth and shadow warfare, striking from concealment with deadly precision. Shop Phobos units, Eliminators, and the full Raven Guard range at Loaded Dice, Barry, South Wales.
