Hey guys, just reviewing the IA books and decided to take a shot at making an Ellysian drop troopers list from IA8, using "The raid on kastorel-novem"'s list. Just before any trolls start going on about how people wouldn't let you use it or you couldn't use it in tournys, I don't care. I really don't. So only post at all if it is about the army's actuall composition. Bear in mind that this is based on the imperial guard codex. Anyway, here goes:

CCS - same as normal
3 auxilary grenade launchers - one shot, 12" grenade launchers attatched to lasguns
Carapace armour
Bolt pistol
91 points

Valkyrie - Can be taken as a troop transport
Lascannon
2 Heavy bolters
125 points

long range ground scanner - helps with shooting but needs vox casters
3 more crew - normal guardsmen
68 points

Veteran squad
vox caster
lascutter - tank only power fist that never misses in CC
Heavy flamer
2 meltaguns
demolitions
5 auxilary grenade launchers
170 points

Valkyrie
Lascannon
Heavy bolters
125 points

veteran squad
vox caster
heavy flamer
flamer
meltagun
demolitions
5 auxilary grenade launchers
165 points

Valkyrie
lascannon
heavy bolters
125 points

Vulture - dedicated gunship similar to a valkyrie
twin-linked missile launcher
heavy bolter
2 hellstrike missiles
130 points

TOTAL: 999 points

This is designed to be a multi-purpose list to take on any threats, armoured or otherwise. This list makes up for the lack in firepower by having all the people in rapid fire range ASAP. Any thoughts?

Wow. And I mean wow. Not one response. Not one. Would have expected at least a few responses!
