Are you ready mate???
FIRE!!!!!!!
Can you tell me:
1) Do CCS and vet squads have access to the same doctrines as in the IG codex (Demo, carapace, cameleoline)?
2)Do CCS have access to the same advisors as in IG codex?
3)Do drop sentinels have access to the same weapons as in IG codex (multilaser, autocanon and so on...) or do they only have heavy bolter and multimelta??
4)Are Valkyrie sky talons dedicated transports for tauros venators, tauros and Drop sentinels?
5) Do sentinels have valkyries as dedicated transports?
6) Do cyclops can have a valkyrie as dedicated transport? How many can fit in?
That's all for the moment!!!lol!
When I have new questions, I will ask you!!

1) Do CCS and vet squads have access to the same doctrines as in the IG codex (Demo, carapace, cameleoline)? CCS only have carapace. Vets have all 3. 2)Do CCS have access to the same advisors as in IG codex? Only bodyguards and officers of the fleet. 3)Do drop sentinels have access to the same weapons as in IG codex (multilaser, autocanon and so on...) or do they only have heavy bolter and multimelta?? Heavy bolter, Multi-melta and heavy flamer. 4)Are Valkyrie sky talons dedicated transports for tauros venators, tauros and Drop sentinels? Valkyies are a dedicated transport for Tauros. Sky Talons do not take up a slot so you can take as many as you please to transport your vehicles. 5) Do sentinels have valkyries as dedicated transports? No. 6) Do cyclops can have a valkyrie as dedicated transport? How many can fit in? No. It doesn't mention how many can fit into a Valkyrie, so I would take it as they cannot be transported by one. |

Thanks for the answers mate!
Do sergents from vet squads can have the under slug grenade laucher??
Too bad there are no Astropath and MoO.....How could I have my +1 for reserves???!!!!
Sentinels can't be airlifted by Skytalons....Too bad, I had imagined one Sky talon could lift 2 of those babes....
Do Elysians have special rules for reserves??? Like bonuses or something like that.....
For cyclops I think it could be one cyclop+operator in a Valk....

Do sergents from vet squads can have the under slug grenade laucher?? Yes. Commissars and veterans in the command squad can take them too. Too bad there are no Astropath and MoO.....How could I have my +1 for reserves???!!!! I guess they thought it might be a bit too powerful. Sentinels can't be airlifted by Skytalons....Too bad, I had imagined one Sky talon could lift 2 of those babes.... It can. 2 per Sky Talon. Do Elysians have special rules for reserves??? Like bonuses or something like that..... There's a special character Command Tauros that lets you reroll 1 failed reserve roll per turn. For cyclops I think it could be one cyclop+operator in a Valk.... Yeah, that's how it was in the old rules. I guess it's still the same but its not mentioned in IA8. |

Everything can be used in a normal guard army if your group is cool with it. A few of my people balk but unless its a super heavy or a flyer, I dont care what they think. I dont remember reading about any special characters but I have only had time to run through a quick scan and make a v1 list. TBH I am not very impressed with the list, aside from the aircraft(which is definately the strength), the troops seem highly underpowered compared to the normal guard list. I am actually skipping my company command squad and just using a Commissar lord, cheaper in points and arguebly more effective. I am going to use the list anyway because I love air craft and in my main list I will have 4 Valks, 2 vendettas and 2 Vultures, over 1k points in aircraft |

I wonder if those Elysian buggies will end up being used much.

I so wish I had the stats for them, want to see if I can count my buggys as them and make a 100% vanilla army. But I'm not paying 45 quid for it.  |

Received my copy this week end!
Mixed feelings about the book....I think that the fluff background (story) is too short and quite not detailed...compared to IA3. I know it is a raid but...
However, the work on the book is stunning, I do like the pictures and so on....
There are some errors on the Elysian army list such as the Vets stats, their wargear (no Krak grenades??). The rules for the auxiliary grenade launcher and beacon are missing....
I do like the fact that Elysian vets can ALL take auxiliary grenade launchers....Imagine 9 krak grenades in one firing turn....
