A full alternative Imperial Guard army list for fielding the 23rd Elysian Regiment as an air-mobile Drop Troop force during the Taros Campaign, built around a Drop Infantry company with Valkyrie and Vulture support. This list includes every model available from Forge World for the regiment and is intended for players fielding their Imperial Armour Elysian collection en masse; if only one or two models (or a single squad in a Valkyrie) are wanted, use the standard Imperial Guard Codex list instead — each Imperial Armour vehicle's own entry notes which Force Organisation choice it fills there.
Using the Army List
The army list is used with the Force Organisation chart from a scenario, split into the same five categories as a codex army list (HQ, Elites, Troops, Fast Attack, Heavy Support). Each light box on the chart indicates an optional choice from that section, a dark-toned box a mandatory one. Unless a model or vehicle forms part of a squad or squadron it counts as a single choice from those available.
To build an army: choose units and their upgrades from the relevant sections below, keeping in mind that some entries are limited to 0-1 or 0-2 regardless of available points, and continue until all points are spent. Note that a model cannot be fielded more than once, including duplicate vehicle upgrades.
Doctrines
The Elysian Drop Troops have the following doctrines from the Imperial Guard Codex:
- Drop Troops
- Iron Discipline
- Veterans
- Storm Trooper squads
- Special Weapon squads
Force Organisation
