Upcoming 1500pt tournament


It's been a slow few months for my Hobby progress due to various factors including moving house, and a lot of my stuff is still packed up. However I have signed up for an upcoming 1500pt tournament in July.

In the ongoing effort to make things as fair as possible this tournament has a number of restrictions regarding factions, detachments and Forgeworld models. Effectively you can only gain one faction benefit for your army, e.g. Cadian doctrine etc. And a max limit of 400pts of Forgeworld.

However in corresponding with the TOs I have been allowed to run a pure Elysian List, even though it is almost all Forgeworld as the forgeworld limitation is to allow people to bring things like leviathans etc not whole armies.

If you are interested in the full list of restrictions and everything else, here is the link to the players pack.

While I haven't finalised my list I'm actually looking at taking a pretty standard list to this.

Probably a Brigade with 3 CCs, 6 Infantry squads, some plasma command squads, mortars and a few Tauros's of both variants. And a Air Wing with a Vulture and 2 Valkyries, although I am considering 2 Vultures and 1 Valkyries. Now that Valks are no use as transports, I'm planning to use them as long range firepower, one anti-tank with Hellstrikes and a Lascannon, and the other with Rocket pods.
And of course I am reserving the 85 points and 2CPs to include an assassin.

See below for the Battlescribe output. I haven't re-formatted it but it's all there.

Please post any comments and suggestions.

Elysian Drop Troops online resources

When I first started to get into Elysians one of the the difficulties I faced was the limited amount of current information avaliable online. So here is a summary of some of the more useful online resources that I have found since I started, and feel free to add in any ones I miss in the comments. 1d4chan tactics section https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Imperial_Guard(8E)#Elysian_Drop_Troops This is a sub-section of the Imperial Guard tactics article, and provides a good overview on all the available options and some suggestions for their use. It is certainly worth a read, but don't take it all as gospel Wahapedia Elysian Drop troops section http://wahapedia.ru/wh40k8ed/factions/elysian-drop-troops/ This is an incredible useful resource, and contains all the rules for the game, including all the rules for Elysian drop troops, and is continually updated with and changes from Chapter approved and the FAQs. This site is a realistic replacement for your rul

Elysian Tactics - Tauros Assault vehicle and Tauros Venator

Image
In my opinion the most iconic model of the Elysians is the Tauros. The Tauros comes in 2 variants, the 2 axle Assault Tauros, and the larger 3 axle Venator. Interestingly enough though, these have the <Regiment> keyword as opposed to the Elysian Drop Troops keyword, so can easily be included in any other regiment and some of the Regimental doctrines could prove useful for Tauroses. However I will be covering the Tauros in the context of an Elysian force, meaning they gain the Aerial Drop ability. The first thing that hit me about these models is how physically small they are, being not much taller than an infantry model. Tactics wise this will mean they can gain cover much easier, and with their high movement can easily dart from cover to cover. And both variants also have the galvanic motor special rule giving them a 5+ Invul save if they move over 10" in their last movement phase which is easy to do even if they end up in the same location by doing a loop.

Tauros Assault Vehicle

Tauros Assault Vehicle Since I covered the Venators last post I thought I would move on to the Assault version of the Tauros now I have assembeled 4 of these so far and the process is very similar to the Venators with many of the pieces being identical. The four I have assembeled so far I have equipped with the Heavy Flamer as that is how I am currently planning to use them. I looked into magnetising them, but it is not a simple process as both weapon options have different ammo packs on the seats, and the grenade launcher seems to be less useful than the Heavy Flamer on such a fast vehicle. Although if I get some more I will probably make some into the grenade Launcher version. As you can see one of them is a different colour than the rest, This one is from a different source was was of a lesser quality than the others, which is why I have ordered more of them. It was even missing bits like the driver and roll cage, so I ordered another roll cage and made my own driver f
