Elysians + storm trooper support

[Galron]

Well I saw the old WD article that had the original Elysians made from marine scouts and the odd blue and grey camo armor. Lacking any major 40k projects and disillusioned enough with GW that I am not buying anything new I decided to redo my entire Elysian army that GW in its insultign wisdom decided to squat and come up with a up to date list staying true to the fluff. With contrast paints they are actually really easy to paint and not look like they are done with contrast paints(which tend to look cartoony). I would post a pic but since B&C doesnt host then I dont have a way to put them up here. 

 

Here are my 1/121st Blue Devils. Usually deployed as an orbital decapitation strike force and marine boarding group they generally are not deployed on the ground for more than a single mission before getting relieved and sent elsewhere. Thus their uniforms remain the dark blue dazzle camo which is designed to break up their outline in dark environments. 

 

Battalion

Company Commander - WT Grand strategist, Laurels of Command, power sword

Company Commander - chain sword

 

4x Infantry squads with melta guns

 

Command squad- 4 plasmaguns

Vet squad 3 melta guns

Vet squad 3 melta guns

Vet squad 3 plasma guns + heavy bolter

 

Heavy Weapons squad 3 heavy bolters

Heavy Weapons squad 3 heavy bolters

heavy Weapons squad 3 Missile Launcher

 

Vulture 2 punisher cannons

 

Patrol Detachment- Lambden Lions

Tempestor prime- Progeny of conflict WT: Keys to the Armory- Tactical Auto-reliquary of Tyberius. command rod

 

Tempestus scions-x10 plasma pistol, + 4 plasma guns

Tempestus scions-x10 plasma pistol + 4 Hotshot volleyguns

Tempestus Scions-x5 plasma pistol + 2 melta guns

 

Tempestus command squad 4x meltaguns

 

Valkyries x2 rocketpods, heavy bolters, advanced counter measures

Vendetta Gunship 3 twin lascannons

 

Basic concept is the tempestus all deepstrike in forming a wall of firepower that should overwhelm whatever is nearby. The melta vets ride in each Valk. While the command squad rides in a vendetta or hoofs it on foot as needed. Also possible to put an infantry squad in the vendetta for a late game objective grabber. I wanted to overwhelm the opponent with high priority targets.

 

 

Tempted to drop the command squad for another 10 man infantry squad. Or conversely, drop an infantry squad and bring another command squad. I might have the army done by the time we get a codex lol.
