Also started playing around with the bombard. I like to think of it as my dark reaper killer (or anyone who thinks they're safe with a 2+ cover save - but especially dark reapers...hate dark reapers).

I would definitely try to drop a psyker in with the Elysians. If you face a lot of Chaos and want Lost Relic you are going to be down a lot of CPs fast without a second battalion.

Is the Bombard really a great Dark Reaper clearer if they stack minuses to hit? Not too familiar with it so more curious about your experience. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10003953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10003953.page GMT Re:[2000] - Imperial Guard - NovaOpen
I thought the deal with dark reapers was putting them in cover and then concealing them...hadn't thought of the making them harder to hit. Well - bombards looks good against other stuff to I think. S=6, AP=-2, D=2, ignoring cover, 2D6 shots rerolling one of those will kill dudes. I can also just shoot at the dark reaper unit that I can hit normally - can't make them all hard to hit.

I hear ya about the lost relic and chaos is pretty popular these days that's a good idea. Can I add a primaris psyker to the Elysian detachment? I didn't see one in the index for them.

I'm also hoping Kurov's Aquila helps me out a little with the lack of CP (5+ gets you a CP when your opponent plays a stratagem)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10003989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10003989.page GMT [2000] - Imperial Guard - NovaOpen FW Index on me but my recollection is that Death Korps and Elysians have their doctrines baked in without needing a pure detachment. Because of this you can add a Primaris psyker out of the Codex to make an Astra Militarum keyword battalion. No longer Elysian but again for the FW regiments I do not believe this costs you anything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10004059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10004059.page GMT [2000] - Imperial Guard - NovaOpen

But if I'm not Elysian then I can't 'deepstrike' right? That's what I was wondering - if I would loose that ability by adding a primaris psyker...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10004062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10004062.page GMT [2000] - Imperial Guard - NovaOpen

If you read the Elysian entries in the FW Index you will see that Aerial Drop is not dependent on being in an Elysian detachment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10005025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10005025.page GMT Re:[2000] - Imperial Guard - NovaOpen http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10005820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757969/10005820.page GMT
