				<title>2000pts. 173rd Elysian Drop Troops</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello Everyone! After many long months of slowly gathing an army I am finally nearing completion for my Air Cav theme utilizing the "Imperial Armor Volume 3 Second Edition" (literally have the sentry guns and book and I am done!). I am going with this to fit the fluff and imagery of an army burning through the sky flying in from the atmosphere taking the fight to the enemy, and to take advantage of the new "combat drop" rule (where Valkyries, Sentry Guns, Skytalons and Drop Sentinels get the "Drop Pod Assault" rule allowing them to come in first turn. This is my first attempt so any thoughts, comments and Ideas are welcome, thanks again guys!<br /> <br /> <u><span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span>:</u><br /> <br /> -Company Command Squad<br /> *w/ Officer of the Fleet, Long Range Ground Scanner (*In Vendetta*)<br /> <br /> <u>TROOPS:</u><br /> <br /> -Veteran Squad<br /> *w/ x3 Plasma<br /> -Valkyrie Transport<br /> *w/ Rocket Pods<br /> <br /> -Veteran Squad<br /> *w/ x3 Plasma<br /> -Valkyrie Transport<br /> *w/ Rocket Pods<br /> <br /> -Veteran Squad<br /> *w/ x3 Plasma<br /> -Valkyrie Transport<br /> *w/ Rocket Pods<br /> <br /> -Veteran Squad<br /> *w/ x3 Plasma (*in Vendetta*)<br /> <br /> -Veteran Squad<br /> *w/ x3 Plasma (*in Vendetta*)<br /> <br /> <u>FAST ATTACK:</u><br /> <br /> -Vendetta (*Company Command Squad*)<br /> <br /> -Vendetta (*Veteran Squad*)<br /> <br /> -Vendetta (*Veteran Squad*)<br /> <br /> -Vulture Gunship<br /> *w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(126);'>TL</span> Punisher Cannons<br /> <br /> -Vulture Gunship<br /> *w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(126);'>TL</span> Punisher Cannons<br /> <br /> -(x2) Sentry Gun Batteries<br /> *w/ x2 Heavy Bolter Turrets<br />  <br /> <b>TOTAL ARMY: 2000 POINTS</b><br /> <br /> <u>Tactics:</u><br /> <br /> -Thanks to the Elysian "combat drop" rule I will have x3 Valkyries Deep Striking and "zooming" so I have a good chance at survivng for the first turn (I also plan on going 2nd in most games to limit the amount of incoming fire).<br /> <br /> -Company Command squad will primarily be sitting in their transport (Vendetta) staying safe, using the skills of the Long Range Ground Scanner and Officer of the Fleet  so I have a better chance at maintaing air superiority longer.<br /> <br /> -All my Veterans are kitted out with plasma to cover all bases in regards to opponents (from infantry hordes, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(95);'>MEQ</span> list, Light-Medium armor and Monstros Creatures). The Valkyries they are riding in have Rocket Pods and will be focusing on infantry targets.<br /> <br /> -x3 Vendettas whose primary role will be to focus on anti armor, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(93);'>MC</span>'s,ect.<br /> <br /> -x2 Vulture Gunships with Punisher Cannons, these guys will be backing up the Valkyries in the anti infantry department.<br />  <br /> -x2 Sentry Gun Batteries, mainly there to get the Valks on the table first turn but they are useful to drop behind an opponents lines or even to camp on objectives just to be a nuisence. However am also thinking about dropping these and some other stuff to maybe take a few drop sentinels instead.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>
