History
The Raven Guard are one of the original First founding Chapters of Space Marines. The Primarch of the Raven Guard is Corax, which is the Greek for Raven. Their homeworld is Deliverance, which was renamed from Lycaeum. The Raven Guard were involved in the Drop Site Massacre, where four Legions turned to Chaos. By the end of the Horus Heresy, the Raven Guard were all but annhilated, reduced down to a few dozen members. It is rumoured that Corax used cloning technology to replenish the Chapter's numbers, many of these clones seem to have resulted in mutations and a rejection of the gene seed in one way or another, Corax himself is thought to have brought these unlucky souls to a merciful ending, executing each indivicually with an apology and a prayer.
Organisation
The Raven Guard are known for hitting weak points in enemy defences hard and they perform lightning strike upon locations of tactical importance to cripple their enemy. The Raven Guard dislike chapters that charge recklessly into enemy ranks. This has led to arguments between the Raven Guard and the Blood Angels. The Raven Guard rely heavily on their Scouts for pinpointing enemy postions and to scout for good Dropsites.The right shoulderpad trim denotes the type of space marine. Green is for tactical squads, red is for assault squads and yellow is for devastors. Because of their hit and run tactics they also make extensive use of Assault Squads. The Tactical Squads of the Raven Guard are often deployed via Thunderhawks or Drop Pods. The favorite weapons of the Raven Guard Commanders are the Lightning Claws and it is a common sight that their command squads also come equiped with these weapons in addition to their Jump Packs.
