I’m getting a SAS vibe from these guys. They are so damn cool, I bet when these guys are coming down just the mere sight of them boosts morale for other imperial guard forces. I’m surprised that the planet doesn’t break under the weight of their adimantium issued balls coming from space. Awesome lore vid sparty 🙂

Personaly they make me think To french paratroopers
I wish GW would bring these back, they're by far my favorite IG regiment.
I love the Elysians, even played one myself in the Only War RPG from FFG. As for smaller Regiments, don't forget the Maccabian Janissaries, they dont have as much lore, but are pretty interesting because of they kinda bend the Rule of "no men under arms" in the ecclesiarchy ;)
I hope one day see Total War Warhammer 40k
These guys and the Harkoni are my favorite guard regiments
Y'know, there are a lot of joks in Russia and Ukraine about paratrooper forces and how elite and badass they are (one being about that they can hit the ground after jumping from plane and then keep running) and it feels like Elysians are those jokes incarnate. I love it
They’re doing their part!

Awesome work on the video! I am definitely excited for your upcoming Regiment videos (valhallan, Tanith First and Only and so on as you stated). Tanith novels just celebrated their 20th anniversary and with all their fluff and background lore I am sure that will probably be a longer video. Cheers!

Really great video! (I like Harakoni Warhawks slightly more, but Elysians are cool too :D)
Yeah you know oh yeah they kind of somewhere old style up the ODST from Halo but regular regular Imperial Guard units similar like the mobile infantry from Starship Trooper universe somebody died so many

These guys remind me of the 2nd régiment etranger parachutiste/ foreign legion paras. Their lasguns in particular look like FAMAS.
I hope you can cover the tanith 1st unique elite scouts, light infantry and snipers
Hey, brother! Thanks for the great video- I had almost zero knowledge about these guys, except for their name and general appearance/specialty. They kind of came out while I was on my long hiatus from the hobby, from the late 90’s to the mid-20teens (shit! About two decades- doesn’t seem possible). But they seem like a really cool addition to the Guard- damn Forge World taking them out of production! They’ve done that to so many awesome units that they really should still be making- stupidly, too. Like releasing a new tank for the Solar Auxilia, and taking their tank crewmen models out of production- the same day! So stupid. Anyway- really liked the video- keep them coming. And have a great Thanksgiving- talk to you later!

Hahah i agree with you dude.. these snuck in during one of my hiatuses as well! You too brother :) Give my best to the family and get fat on some TURKEY!
these remind me of the Singapore Guards, down to their modular SAR21 variants for serving different purposes.
the elysian are great, but to be honest when you want to talk about an elite regiment in the imperial forces, what comes in my mind is the first and only from tanith haha, all of them are veterans and are damn good in infiltrate
Read a Chaos Novel, it had Elysian Drop troops land in chaos demons and Space Marines, they fought well one even took out a chaos drednought by getting underneath and shooting a plasma rifle then I think he used explosives. They all died... and 4 chaos marines took out a Warlord class Titan... I think it was the World Eater novels, the one with them building a huge chaos monument out of processed human bodies and blood motar, chaos trying to get a necron artifact on the planet, Mechanicus army attacks with Elysian drop troopers and Titan Legio. It follows the life of a slave to chaos how they control them with a harness and how the slaves slowly becoming crazy from the demonic sounds emitted from "slave masters"
15:26 Everything comes from Starship Troopers (the book>movie)
I disagree with the killed to a man misconception, if they were wiped out during nearly every engagement then they wouldn't be achieving their goals whatsoever sure they take a lot of casualties as every regiment does but I highly doubt they just land and get smashed within a few hours
It's a shame you can't buy these models any more. I wish I did but I decided to make my own mix inspired from the Elysian drop troops and the Harrokoni Warhawks for my own custom regiment which use the still in production Cadian hazard ops units and plenty of Valkyries, sentinels and a vulture.
Have you ever thought about releasing these as audio files for people to listen to as podcasts?

Hmm dropping behind enemy lines, no chance for escape, most likely to be overrun. Im sure some Kriegsmen would drool at this. PS. Look at Starship Troopers for what I assume these guys were inspired from. Abilities from the book and visually from the movie.

Out of all the IG regiments, these seem like the most "modern" in terms of equipment and tactics. Relying on heavy air support, guerilla warfare, and lighter ground vehicles. Just remove the ethics of "don't send your troops in a suicide mission" and you get the Elysians.
Where do I get one of those 6-wheeled jeeps at 7:27? I don't care if I have to pay Elon Musk to custom build one for me, I want it.
So the Grand-daddies of the ODSTs?
Harakoni warhawks are more close to ODST, do a video about them
