From The Raptors Wiki :
"The Raptors are known for shunning the glory of close quarter combat favored by many other Chapters for the simple expediency of the clean kill from afar with ranged weapons. Like their parent Chapter, the Raven Guard, the Raptors make extensive use of their Scout Marines dispersed throughout their task forces, and maintain a sizable contingent of Land Speeders of all types as well as a core of diverse armored vehicles. They prefer to employ these assets, along with their assault units, in precision strikes to overwhelm an enemy at strategically crucial junctures in battle after determining the most effective pressure point at which to break the enemy."
Lets look at the vehicles of the 8th:
-Relic Javelin Land Speeder with two lascannons and 2 hunter killer missiles. Reason I am choosing to take one is my army will be lacking lascannons so the ability to take 2 on a land speeder would be nice plus the 2 HKs for more fun. I will leave it with a heavy bolter. Number Planned: 1
-"Retro" Land Speeder. Love the design and I will probably use the normal land speeder rules for them. Not sure if I'll go Multi Melta or Dual Heavy bolters. Number Planned: 1-3
-Land Speeder Typhoon and Tornadoes. Heavy bolters and pending class Typhoon Launchers or Assault cannons. Number Planned: 3 of each
-Land Speeder Tempest. Not quite a flyer and not quite a land speeder. No load out option changes. Planned Number: 3
-Stormhawk Interceptor. Crewed by the 8th company in my fluff. Still not sure final loadout. Planned Number: 1-2 Depends on Stormtalon
-Stormtalon Gunship. Like the Stormhawk, crewed by the 8th and not sure the load out. Planned Number: 1-2 Depends on Stormhawk
