There are a few Elysian players around. I have an Elysian army and am planning to take it to a tournament next month

There are some useful Elysian resources out there, but as I don't ofetn post here I am not allowed to post links.

But there is an active FAcebook group, an active discord server, and a semi-active reddit group.

Also my blog, the 422nd Elysian Drop Troopers

Special weapon squads can only take 3 special weapons. Melta guns are quite a bit cheaper on BS4+ models than they are for BS3+ models. And I can deepstrike a commander near them to give them orders to aid their hit rolls.

I see special weapon squads as a cheaper version of command squads, and if I had a few more points I would upgrade one of the 2 melta squads to a melta command squad. Originally I was planning to have a veteran squad with 3 meltas in each valk, but that is a lot of points, and cutting back to 2 SWSs got me a 2nd Vulture.

I'm not certain I will keep them in my list, and plan to see how they perform. In my practise game so far they didn't do much, although due to cutting my list down I only had 1 squad instead of 2, but also my opponent didn't have any targets that the melta was needed for.

But that is why I am planning some practice games, and they may or may not make the final list.
