The Ravenwing is a highly specialized formation where speed is more important than heavy firepower. To this end, all of the marines in the company ride into battle on [[Space Marine Bikes|Bikes]] or [[Land Speeders]] on land, including specialized vehicles such as the [[Land Speeder Vengeance]] and [[Darkshroud]].{{Fn|1}} In the air, the Ravenwing employs [[Dark Talon]]s and [[Nephilim Jetfighter]]s.{{Fn|5}} The Ravenwing's hidden role within the chapter is that of mobile hunters, eternally prowling for their traitorous ancestors, [[The Fallen]].{{Fn|2}} Instead of the usual dark green panoply of the rest of the chapter, the Ravenwing's armour and vehicles are painted jet black, echoing the original colours of the Dark Angels Legion. The Ravenwing also contains specialized sub-formations, such as [[Ravenwing Command Squads]], support squads{{Fn|6b}}, [[Ravenwing Apothecary|Apothecaries]]{{Fn|13b}}, [[Ravenwing Champion|Champions]]{{Fn|13b}}, [[Ravenwing Ancient|Ancients]]{{Fn|13b}}, and [[Ravenwing Black Knights]], the latter of whom are the most hardened veterans of the Ravenwing with access to the 2nd Company's [[Inner Circle]].{{Fn|5}} It is these warriors that know the Ravenwing's true mission, hunting the [[Fallen]], and thus they are closely monitored by [[Chaplain]]'s to make sure their loyalty is in check.{{Fn|8}}

During battle, should the Ravenwing face an especially dangerous task they activate the teleportation homers on their bikes, summoning a force of [[Deathwing]] and all but guaranteeing victory.{{Fn|8}}
