In the same style as E&C's E series of the Tau army list here i porpose the BL series for the Elysian Drop Troop armylist based in ImperialArmour 8.
I trried to be as true to background/fluff a spossible. I could be more strict in using 3 units formations for certain now 4 unit formations (because full strength Squadrons are only 3 vehicles) but we all know that 3 unit formation are very difficult to work properly in Epic.
The list can be found in the attachment.
The list doesn't include yet:
Long Range Ground Scanner (could be used as an Blitz Objective marker)
Cyclops Remote Control Demolition Vehicle (perhabs a one unit upgrade with a 45cm one-shot MW5+ attack?)
Elysian Sentry Gun Battery (perhaby included as a 3 unit garrison-able formation?)
I'm still unsure what to do about Drop Special Weapons Squads And Drop Veteran units as both would do essentially the same.
Also removing Iron Dicipline could be an option. Or changing this special rule to a special ability for Drop Supreme Commander and Drop Commander as in Wh40k this abillity only works if an officer is nearby. After all it IS the Wh40k version of Leader.
I'm unsure, too, about the Valkyrie Sky Talon as it is described as not lingering around and providing supporting fire (other than the Valkyrie Airborne Assault Carrier and the Vendetta Gunship). If they would act as an Aircraft Formation which could only carry out Ground Attacks it would be more true to background. But the Valkyrie Sky Talon's Ground Attack types would be restricted to Landing and Air Assault. No Interception, no CAP, no ordinary Ground Attack.
So this would create a formation of four Valkyrie Sky Talons which would act as a single WE Aircraft Transport rules wise with the exception that each "DC" lost would remove one Valkyrie Sky Talon (and thus firepower and, more importandly, transport space).
Edit: BL-V2.1 now downloadable in the attachment.
