Codex - Elysian Drop Troops: /tg/'s 8th Edition

As Elysian Drop Troops appears it will have no future support, I believe it's appropriate in a /tg/ factions to bring it up to the line with other factions. Input from the Discussion page would be appreciated.

My Idea is to shift Elysian to better fit a CC Deapstrikers for the guard as Stormtrooper fit the shooting roll better

Army Rules

• Defenders of Humanity: If your army is Battle-forged all Elysian Drop Troops troop choices have Objective Secured in 8th edition.

• Aerial Drop: During deployment, you can set up this model in a high-altitude transport instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases, the unit can aerial drop into battle-set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.

• Iron Discipline: Any friendly Elysian Drop Troops units within 6" of this model may re-roll failed morale.

• Regiment- Landing in the Danger Zone: If your army is Battle-forged, all units in Elysian Drop Troops Detachments gain this ability. Elysian Drop Troops units can reroll any dice for a charges roll. During the first battle round, during the shooting phase, enemies take a -1 penalty to hit when shooting at Elysian Drop Troops and cannot fire overwatch against charging Elysian Drop Troops units. After the first battle round, Elysian Drop Troops units that enter from reserves, it gains this benefit until the end of that battle round.
  • Astra Militarum units without the Elysian Drop Troops but have the following keywords may be included in any Elysian Drop Troops detachments without losing the Regiment benefits: Officio Prefectus, Scholastica Psykana, Militarum Tempestus,Militarum Auxilla, Adeptus Ministorum, Aeronautica Imperialis, Servitors, Tech-priest

Other Wargear Weapon List

Long Range ground scanner: This thing is weird. Taken in your CCS for 30 pts you get single guardsman model, which can fuck up enemy infiltrators on a 4+ Or grant one of your units rerolls to hit on non-ordinance guns once per turn, on a 4+, within "12 (or unlimited if both units carry a vox). Stick into a fully upgraded Valk/Vendetta for flying Pask. You can take 4 of these total, so if you highly invest and camp in the back of your board they can actually be of good use. Make sure to bring Vox's on all of your units so you get unlimited range to utilize them.
