No, modern Raptors use relatively modern military tactics and a lot of similar equipment. See >>538875183 for more specific details. They're also a massive outlier to everybody else in how their Chapter works in terms of recruitment. They don't have set home worlds in which to find new upstarts. They instead work with militias and the Astra Militarum to scout for promising child soldiers, plucking the best kids they can find from the frontlines, resulting in a force with no set culture, values, language or even accent.

It's interesting watching their gradual changes over the decades into what they are now. At first they were just like any other Chapter, loud colors, no different in how they operated. Then they shifted to pic related, and while they had a change of color, they still leaned into the high gothic aesthetic. Now all modern imagery of the Raptors looks more like some twisted sci-fi version of Vietnam.
