After settling long ago on running an armoured fist formation, I've been thinking about running Elysians alongside it, as opposed to normal infantry blobs since the ability deep strike them all would give me some flexibility depending whether I needed to bubblewrap or not. Also, I just love the models.

Steel Host:
Pask, Punisher, MMS, LC 240
-Executioner, PC sponsons 185
Executioner, PC sponsons 185
Exterminator, MMS, LC 160
Exterminator, MMS, LC 160
Hydra 70
(Tempted to swap either the exterminators or executioners for vanquishers...)

CCS, melta 70
PCS, melta, 50
Commissar 25
Inf, melta 70
Inf, melta, 70
Veterans, 2 plasma, 110
HWS, missile launchers 100

5 spare

One of the main points of steel host is the ability to re-roll failed gets hot on your plasma cannons, so i would keep the executioners.
I'd drop the sponsons, as there really bringing up the points on the tanks, as well as that anti-tank roll being played by the LC. Would also give the Executioners LC so they can take on anything.
As for the troops i would swap out the plas with meltas as well (do the same job cheaper and no gets hot).
This gives you some spare points to get a couple of wyverns.

Edit: Wyverns however good don't deep strike so would get another tank or more vets.
