The '''Ravager''' , also known as the '''Ravager Gunship'''{{Fn|2}} is a [[Dark Eldar]] vehicle built on a nearly identical chassis to the [[Raider]]. The Dark Eldar commonly use it to come out of a [[Webway]] portal and wreak havoc on enemy armour, fortifications and personnel. The Ravager was converted from the original transport vessel to a heavy fire support vehicle, and has fortified front and side armoursarmour. Ravagers are equipped with three heavy weapons, usually [[Dark Matter Weaponry|Dark Lance]]s that can be upgraded to or[[Dark Matter Weaponry|DisintegratorCannon]]s.Ravagers may also be equipped with special upgrades, like the [[Horrorfex]], [[Night Shield]], [[Screaming Jets]] and [[Scythes]]. They are also equipped with sophisticated targeting arrays which display precise information about their enemy. This way it makes up for what it lacks in armour with speed and firepower. The Dark Eldar commonly use it to come out of a [[Webway]] portal and wreak havoc on enemy armour, fortifications and personnel.
Ravagers may also be equipped with special upgradesIn battle, Ravager are nimble and swift, like the using their maneuverability to destroy more lumbering [[HorrorfexHuman]], or [[Night ShieldOrk]]tanks. Ravager gunships are so fast and maneuverable that they can ambush an enemy tank and destroy it in a single pass, vanishing before the enemy even realizes what hit them. Their capabilities are further improved through their tactics, with Ravager crews being well-trained and well-briefed about their targets capabilities. Their commanders will assign then specific targets in battle, ensuring that the Ravager formation operates as a unified, efficient killing machine. A well-trained and led Ravager squadron is capable if appearing from nowhere and destroying even a [[Screaming JetsTitan]] and of the [[ScythesAdeptus Mechanicus]]in a single volley and disappearing over the horizon before the behemoth machine has even toppled to the ground.{{Fn|2}}
