This is a list Mercer wrote for me a little whils back it's only 1,500pts & if you ask me would wipe your 2,000pts off the table,no disrespect meant by the way,i hope you see what i mean.

By the way thanks again Mercer.

And you still have points for some infiltrating storm troopers & your vulture punisherwhich i think rock & i so want 1.

Last time I checked, Chimeras weren't flying, i.e. not air cavalry. Although the list may be technically better, it's certainly not as cool as 7 freaking planes

I can't think of much to change honestly, unless it were possible to cut points for another Tauros for the cool scout factor.

I like it good sir. Fluffy and awesome, and I think theyd perform perty darn well too, though I certainly don't have the battle experience to say for sure.

I see what you mean with that list, I just want to challenge myself with the Elysian Drop Troop Army List, so that means no Chimeras and no Leman Russes.

My bad i kinda missed the air cav bit,that many fliers would look wicked on the table,and if the summer fliers rumours are true,you can add thunderbolts to it by august.

Where have you heard that? I'm not saying you're wrong just that sounds too good to be true haha
