If I was to buy an Elysian Army tomorrow, this is what I would run. It uses the Elysian Drop Troop list from IA8: Raid on Kestorel Novem. A wide variety of heavy and special weapons throughout so I can take on mech or horde reasonably well. The army is mostly intended for the close range firefight, and seeing as they all can deep strike I figured that was a good route to go. TBH I keep think a few more melta guns would be nice, but I have to keep reminding myself that the Vendettas have a bunch of lascannons.
The idea is to put the Veterans and either Stormtroopers of Company Command in the Vendettas and use homing beacons to help guide guys onto forward objectives while I drop or march my heavy weapons onto rear objectives.
