Kinda repost, jump captain is still WIP but this is a photo I rediscovered from a little bit ago

Base/decals are going to be done when I finish the rest of my army

I've been trying to make Shadowmark Talon work for over a year, and aside from a few months last year, it just doesn't perform.

I played two games today with Shadowmark + Vengeful Host today. One game I ran disruption and the other take and hold. Our detachment doesn't do much with flamers and ignores cover being popular right now. Plus we lose our detachment bonus when the enemy gets close.

The points increases today nuked my list. Vanguard veterans feel worse but went up in points. Vengeful Host being take and hold seems like a bad choice. Disruption is the worst disposition in the game right now. I expected a change to Shadowmark and Vanguard Spearhead today considering we effectively lost half our detachments with the changes to cover but nothing.

My two games today were by far the worst Ravenguard have felt in awhile.

How do you prioritize who gets them in your units? Is it for leaders?

Right now I have 5 jump pack inters, 10 assault inters, 10 infiltrators, Kayvaan Shrike, and a storm hawk interceptor

Pls advice on my first 1k-point list
