Saturday Knight: House Raven

Hi all. It's been a while since Knights were first introduced onto our gaming tables (and my 8 are still boxed - though for hopefully not much longer). Choosing the Knight house that is best for you to is like choosing a pair of new shoes. 

So here I aim to give you the following information; what suits they favoured, colour scheme, Segmentum, Homeworld, Loyalty, Lord and most importantly the Legions they may have quested with. 

Today we have a break from Conquest to look at House Raven

House Raven

Homeworld: Kolossi - mined to death, towering slag heaps and smog-wreathed Manufactorums. House Raven's Fortress is "The Keep Inviolate" a km tall and rivals the Fang on Fenris.  

Active range: Heart of the Galaxy to the stellar wilderness of the Outer Rim. 

Segmentum: Ultima 

Lord: Iron Duke - Lord Gregor Raven (at time of the Great Crusade).

Discovered by: Discovered by the Mechanicum. They were shocked to find hundreds of out of commission suits standing tall in the Keep inviolate. They chanted prayers to the Omnissiah and one suit turned its head to regard them. Fealty was sworn to the Mechanicum and the nearby Forge World Metalica as they were raised into the light of the Imperium to their lost majesty. 

Allegiance: Imperium and Mechanicum. 

They were supported by the Forge Worlds of: Metalica (who helped restore their glory in exchange for arms). They are a common site with Legio Metalica (which is very similar in scheme to Legio Ignatum, but with the occasional plate in black and white chevrons as well as yellow and black - Khall and I will be making use of the additional Shin plates in the Warhound kit to represent both if magnetised).

During the Horus Heresy they fought for the Imperium over countless battlefields. 

Materiél strength. 

During the Great Crusade Raven had around 300+ Knights brought back into service. Questoris variants were the main chassis.   

Recommended Loadout;

Great Crusade and Horus Heresy ratio: 3:2 Questoris Chassis to Cerastus / Warden chassis. Errant, Paladin, Styrix and Magera should be main picks. 

We are getting a Paladin, Errant and Styrix, then waiting to hopefully see the Heavy Castellan or Crusader variants. 

Paint scheme:

The Paint scheme for House Raven can be found in White Dwarf Issue 5. Or you can download it digitally from iTunes :)
