I'm looking at starting an Elysians army from scratch, playing them as Plains World troops (from the novel Deathwing by Bryan Ansell and William King). As a fluffy list, I want to really go for lightning raid tactics and paint & model them in a native american theme to suit the fluff. Thus, the Elysian codex with a mix of FW Elysians (for the elites/commanders) and Catachans.
I understand that this list has 3 Valks in 1000 points - would you consider that cheesy? I toned it down from the original 4
I pick it as a fairly flexible high-alpha list, but one that will crumple fairly quickly and be fun to play and play against with a high "rule of cool" factor. 5 scoring, 6 denial, 12 units to shoot at. Can handle mech/MC with infiltrating/deepstriking/grav-chuting melta/krak plus hellstrike/H-Ks; has answers to hordes with the Tauroses, mass BS3/4 str3 guns and multilasers, anti-air with the Valks, and good redundancy. No answer though to Psykers and ignores cover templates.
