-Will be run out of Codex Space Marines (or one of their supplements, am considering the Sentinels of Terra Book).
-Elysia is a very rich world thanks to trade which means with their power, money and influence they have access to better equipment then other IG Regiments. Thus explanation for the 3+ armor save rule wise (Ceramite plates underneath or over their Carapace Armor), unique special weapons, Drop Pods and their BS4. Will be modeling their Bolters as a stripped down version of them so realistically a regular human could wield them.
-The ODST's (not original title I know so if you guys can think of one let me know!) are handpicked from the top men of the Airborne, Air Assault and Storm Trooper regiments the Elysians have at their disposal.
-Their Mission, Spearhead an assault by the Elysians onto a planet or conduct raids, assaults and covert missions behind enemy lines.
-Will have access to "Marauder Suits" (inspiration from Starship Troopers) that will be basically stripped down versions of the Centurion Devastators, however I am leaning towards a "pure pod" list so we will see.

Now the look I will be going for will be this: http://www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?topic=46943.15 however I will be using actual bolters for the weapons to keep the model looking WYSIWYG so people cannot complain. Also for anyone who has beef with the fact it does not look like "power armor" my ENTIRE army will be modeled this way who have power armor so there will be no confusion. That and if anyone has an issue, guess what it is a GW model and using GW rules! . Now for the questions I am hoping to have answered:

-What do you guys think of the idea? And anything to make it better or potentially change up?
-Which Chapter Tactic or Supplement would be the best way to run this list? I want it to be competitive but also to fit the fluff of an "Elysian Spec Ops" unit.
-Conversion Ideas for different units, vehicles ect.

Thanks for your feedback! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6479930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6479930.page GMT Re:Elysian ODST Army SM codex and use them as is for your Elysians, more or less just use their models instead of SM if that is what you are after. Check out the Raven Guards of the SM, might be what you are after.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6480118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6480118.page GMT Elysian ODST Army

You know, instead of Elysians as a base for these guys, why not look at the Harakoni Warhawks?

if you check the link I am doing a conversion using scout bodies with Pig Iron heads for my ODST. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485336.page GMT Elysian ODST Army

School's and Job's servers haven't been liking pictures recently. Sure they look nice though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485344.page GMT Elysian ODST Army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485436.page GMT Elysian ODST Army It might work if you could convert them into a more heavily armoured look.
I also find it hard to justify fluffwise, you might want to work on that.

But in the end, they are your guys, so if you want it, go for it.
Elysians sure are expansive though, I am just getting started on my own Elysian army and it is really a long-term project :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6485646.page GMT Elysian ODST Army

To be frank, I am not really fond about the idea of proxying light drop troops as giant superhumans with tank armour.

Again im not using the actual Elysian models, but Space Marine Scouts with Pig Iron heads to represent the extra armor and bolters to be, well bolters ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6506000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6506000.page GMT Elysian ODST Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6506011.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576275/6506011.page GMT
