Tank Hunters
The Voidraven is designed to bring heavy support firepower to Dark Eldar forces on the ground. Carrying a variety of devastating weaponry, Voidravens strike fear into their enemies as they swoop down at supersonic speeds from the skies and supported by squadrons of Razorwing fighters.
Kaboom.
These things pop Armor 14 tanks like watermelons.
Armed with a pair of void lances, once a Voidraven comes on the board SHOOT IT DOWN -- especially if you're playing Guard. Void lances have the same profile as a lascannon with one important caveat: it's a lance weapon. That means all Armor Values above 12 now become 12. So Leman Russes are, effectively, 12 - 12 - 10 and the ever-so-invincible Land Raider is just 12 all around. At Strength 9 that means the Voidraven is blasting your tanks with glancing hits on 3 and penetrating hits on a 4+.
It's a real relief knowing that it doesn't possess the Strafing Run special rule, because that would have made the Voidraven horrendously good at destroying ground-based vehicles. Despite that, it is still a crazy good tank-killer as it hits on a 3+.
Fortunately for those of us seeing these things flying in on us, they do have terrible Armor at only a value of 10, though it does posses a 4+ Jink save (3+ with upgrades). In most cases that means that Vendetta Gunships, lascannon-armed Stormtalons, and Hydras will shoot these to pieces.
The Voidraven is a real threat on the board and, while it is scantily armored, it cannot be ignored. If you leave one alone for a little too long, it'll be too late for you.
