My Ork army is coming along nicely, so I start thinking about another modelling project for 2011. I've always liked the Elysian fluff and models, and the Valkyrie kit looks awesome, so airborne Guard it will be! All the infantry will be Forge World models so it will be quite expensive, meaning I can't afford to bring a lots of models on the table (which sounds good to me, as I'm getting bored of painting 60+ infantry models for a 1k points army). That being said, here is the list I have been thinking of, your C&C and feedback is much appreciated!

HQ : 105 pts
Lord Commissar, carapace armor, plasma pistol, powerfist

Troops 1: 110 pts
Veterans, shotguns, heavy flamer, 2 flamers, sergeant with power weapon

Troops 2: 145 pts
Veterans, 3 plasmaguns, grenadiers doctrine

Troops 3: 145 pts
Veterans, 3 plasmaguns, grenadiers doctrine

Elites 1 : 105 pts
5 Stormtroopers, 2 meltaguns

Fast Attack 1 : 130 pts
Vendetta, 3 twin-linked lascannons

Fast Attack 2: 130 pts
Valkyrie, 2 multiple rocket pods

Fast Attack 3: 130 pts
Valkyrie, 2 multiple rocket pods

Total points: 1 000
Kill points: 8

Army notes:
The Commissar is attached to Troops 1 (veterans flamers squad), who ride in the Vendetta. The 2 plasma Veterans squads ride in the Valkyries. The Stormtroopers deepstrike behind enemy tanks to melt them.

Modelling notes:
One vets squad is armed with shottguns for no other reason than the model looking good. Since this is a short range weapon, I've included flamers to make it into a sort of assault squad, backed by a Commissar that can put some hurt with his powerfist.
I've read the stormtroopers are so-so, but the engineers with lascutters look too badass to pass up, and the ork inside me thinks the lascutter makes a very good hellgun.

The flamers waste the Vets BS skill The bulid i take is 2 meltas 1 demo and Heavy flamer thus being a all around counter unit. buying carapace is decent considering your guys are going to be exposed to alot of fire. But also a pt sink. Should take Sly always a good buy.
Iron hand is also a great buy.

Army makes sense for being a small elite army.
