The Raven Guard are known for hitting weak points in enemy defenses hard and they perform lightning strikes upon locations of tactical importance to cripple their enemy. The Raven Guard disdain the notion of recklessly charging into enemy ranks. This differentiates their tactics from those of the [[Blood Angels]]. The Raven Guard rely heavily on their [[Scouts]] for pinpointing enemy positions and to scout for good drop sites. In recent years, this preference for stealth, disruption, and assassination missions has seen them heavily use [[Vanguard Space Marine]] formations.{{Fn|55}}
Because of their hit and run tactics and sowing confusion in enemy ranks, the Raven Guard also make extensive use of [[Assault Squad]]s as well as any other formation that uses [[Jump Pack]]s{{Fn|55}}. The [[Tactical Squad]]s of the Raven Guard are often deployed via [[Thunderhawk]]s or [[Drop Pod]]s. The favorite favourite weapons of the Raven Guard [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]]s are the [[Lightning Claw]]s and it is a common sight that their command squads also come equipped with these weapons in addition to their [[Jump Pack]]s.{{Fn|2}}
Raven Guard Captains are fiercely independent, and it's incredibly rare for the chapter to fight as a whole. Individual companies are completely autonomous and are quick to lend their aid to Imperial commanders across the galaxy, with or without the sanction of their Chapter Master.{{Fn|2}} Such behaviour has led to some to question the Raven Guard's soundness, but most recognise that such fluidity of command proves the presence of formidable discipline, not its absence.{{Fn|4a}}
