Lunar Centurion Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I've been thinking about starting Elysians, but I don't know what to buy. They would be allied with my mechanized Blood Angels, so I would need about 750 Pts to be filled in. What do you guys recommend?

Truesight Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 What is the blood angels list your 750 points would be augmenting? 750 is tight for guard, so having a specific purpose would help with reccomendations.

WarriorFish Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Welcome to the Guard :) Elysians are quite specific in how they work but do have various options. Is there a particular way of playing you're interested in for example flyer heavy?

librisrouge Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 You, of course, can never go wrong with men. Twenty-five is the minimum for a CAD (command squad plus two veteran squads) and you're probably going to want about two Valkyries, because its kinda the Elysian thing, and a Vulture with punisher cannons because they're awesome.

Truesight Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I just realised Elysians still get their vendettas at 130 points with 12 models transport capacity. Get two, and a vulture.

march10k Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Ooh...nasty...two vendettas as transports for 10 man squads for about the same cost as valkyries...do I hear three?

Truesight Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Company Command 4x Melta Veterans 3x Plasma Veterans 3x Melta 3x Vendettas 725 points. That's alot of pain packed into those points. You could deep strike the plasma maybe and swap a Vendetta for a Vulture, bring it to an even 750 with more Dakka.

Lunar Centurion Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Okay thanks! The BA list is a mechanized and assault mix, with some terminators thrown in. I'll probably use that at some point in the future, but for now, I will inhabit the Age Of Darkness subforum. I will use the Elysians as Imperial Army. Thanks for all the help guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315365-starting-elysians/#findComment-4209843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
