I have the Preliminary summary for these options, and why they were chosen for the poll (constraints on what can and can not be done) for this poll in the ELysian Drop Troop Regiment Army list 4.x thread Page 3.
Comments made by various people will be there if you want to read them. If you want to just choose from the options without any influence then just vote.
Although this vote will help me decide which option to put forward as I really think this list needs a ground based AA formation, the final decision rests on the Imperial Guards AM, and the ERC.
Option 2 is the Sabre weapons platform LV, moves 10cm, no save, range 30cm AA, towed by a standard chimera. You get 4 of each for 175 points.
Option 3 is just the Sabre Weapons Platform. 6 Sabres for 125 points. They move 10cm, LV with no save, and a weapon range of 30cm. They will be air droppable, and can fit 2 onto a Valkyrie.
Option 4 is the Blitzen AA weapons mount, LV, no save, move of 0cm, range 60 cm, towed by Brunehilde gun tractor, LV, moves 15cm, no save and mounts a heavy stubber. 4 of each for 150 points.
Option 5 is the Taurus Venator Elysian AA variant. In all respects the same as a venator, however the weapon is replaced by a range 30 AA weapon. One per Taurus formation at the normal price.
Option 6 is No ground based AA formations at all. Just rely upon the current Lightning Squadron (4 Lightning Fighters) and the Lightning Strike Squadron (2 Lightning Strike Fighters).
Watch out, the Sabres are Infantry (mounted) in ALL IG lists, and it should stay that way.
The Blitzen is quite heavy and cumbersome for an Air Drop army... the Sabre seems like a better option, but background-wise, this kind of armies rely on air support for AA, so...
