Ravenwing Company dark angels

 

What if I told you Games Workshop used to put the rules into the army boxes? What if I told you what they’re doing isn’t new?

Hey Hobby maniac’s! Today we’re going over the Ravenwing Attack Force and unlocking the secrets that, well, aren’t really all that secret but it’s fun to look at!

Notice the perforations. You could cut these out and glue them together. Presto, instant game aids. This could be the reason I preach about game aids.
