That would be unfortunate. They have no stealth attack types and the IFs are not that at all...RG would be a good balance. Is this even an official poll or just someone's desire?
Yeah sadly, since it seems to be the attitude of: One chapter can fit any role the players want it to fill, the RG will be left until later. I still maintain a small hope that we make it in for launch, but I do not honestly believe that will come true. Good to see so many RG fans!
Efficiency, humility and saviors of the Imperial Guard. All of that clad in a classy black and white power armour, carried by a jump-pack and armed with a pair of lightning claws. Who wouldn't like them? My second favourite chapter. "From the darkness we strike: fast and lethal, and by the time our foes can react... darkness there and nothing more."
I love the Raven Guard since I saw their action in the Ultramarines novel "Chapter's Due" they are damn epic!
I need to read some books about the Raven Guard. I just started playing 40k and Raven Guard immediately appealed to me when I was researching what chapter to build.
As said, in chapter's due a small group of them appears and you can actually learn quite a bit from them... But I think there are also books from the Horus Heresy about them and their Primarch.
