==Overview==
The Dark Eldar commonly use the Ravager to emerge from 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 armour. Ravagers are equipped with three heavy weapons, usually [[Dark Lance]]s or [[Disintegrator Cannon]]s. Ravagers may also be equipped with special upgrades, like the [[Horrorfex]], [[Torment Grenade Launcher]], [[Night Shield]], [[Screaming Jets]] and [[Scythes]]. They are also equipped with sophisticated targeting arrays which display precise information about their enemy. This makes up for what it lacks in armour with speed and firepower.{{Fn|1}}
In battle, Ravagers are nimble and swift, using their maneuverability to destroy more lumbering [[Human]] or [[Ork]] 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 [[Titan]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] in a single volley and disappearing over the horizon before the behemoth machine has even toppled to the ground.{{Fn|1}}
