My thoughts:

This list if for the Norcon tournament. The basic idea is to play with a Raven Guard 7th Company themed force, make it Fluffy, competitive and fun. The 7th Company in a Codex compliant Chapter is a Reserve Tactical. From the 6th ed Codex we learn 'Squads of the 7th Company are trained to fight with Stormtalons'. I expand that to include the other gunships, the Raven and Eagle in my fleet. I hope to go 2nd and let my enemy deploy 1st. My entire force is held in reserve. Also i would like to have my list get close to what the rumors are for 7th Ed. I have 25% troops and am under 25% everything else except HS. Even there i'm at 27%. I would also like to think i have a good over all Composition

Reserves 100%

Group A, (260 pts) 15 %
Tactical Squad x10
My lone Drop pod will come down on my half of turn 1. I hope to use it to secure a Landing zone for my Storm Eagle and a beach head for my Raven held units to assault from. If that's is not a option then i will try and land as far away from my enemy as i can, grab a objective and let the Lascanon have a effect of the game.

Group B, Storm Wing Formation, (1025 pts) 58 %
Captain
Techmarine
Vanguard Veterans x5
Dreadnought
Stormraven Gunship
Stormtalon Gunship #1
Stormtalon Gunship #2

This is my main battle group. The Stormwing dataslate allows all of theses units to come on together with one reserve roll. All of the flyers get Strafing run witch i plan on using to neutralize any anti air units. The Raven will hover for a turn, as early as possible, to unload the Jump troops and Dreadnought. My Captain and co will search for softer targets of opportunity. They are not powerful enough to take out a 'Death Star', but can finish one off once they are softened up by the flyers.

Group C, Deepstrike (465 pts) 27 %
Tactical Squad x10
Stormeagle Gunship

The Stormeagle gunship is form the Imperial Armour 2, 2nd edition. After the zooming, deepstrike, the plan with it is to zoom around the table to get air superiority. I plan on off loading the Tactical combat squad for Objective grabbing, or to assist the other units in a assault. The initial dreepstrike should be within 6' of my drop pod to take advantage of the Locator Beacon.

‘We are the skyborne, the angels macabre, the death that strikes from above. We cut the life-cords of our foes even before they realize the mortal danger they are in. We are the storm incarnate, and we will not be denied.’
