The Ravenwing is the name used by Dark Angels and their successor chapters for their Second Company. While the Second Companies of Codex Astartes-compliant chapters are "Battle Companies" nominally consisting of six Tactical Squads, two Assault Squads, and two Devastator Squads, the Ravenwing specializes in using bikes and Land Speeders. Their Attack and Support Squads may be seconded to a detachment of Dark Angels, or they may deploy as an army in their own right. On the tabletop, this is represented by Sammael's (Master of the Ravenwing) ability to take Ravenwing Squads as Troops as well as Fast Attack.
The Ravenwing, like the Deathwing, is tasked with hunting the Fallen Angels, though the Ravenwing know far less about their targets; as far as they know, the Fallen are simply heretics who happen to bear a grudge against the Dark Angels, and enjoy spreading lies about the Chapter's history. When the Inner Circle expects to encounter lots of Fallen, they may deploy the Ravenwing and Deathwing together: the Ravenwing chase down the heretics, and then use their locator beacons to call down the Terminators.
