Here is a little fluff from my crazy idea I have (using Eldar army list with my IG.... 
)
27th Elysian Rangers drop regiment
3rd company, shadow company
Elysian drop troops are well known within the Imperium for being one of the fastest response force the Imperial Guard has.
Elysian rangers are amongst the best troops Elysia can give (for more fluff, see the big book of Elysian fluff in the drop troop entry). To summarize, Rangers are like US rangers, navy seals, SAS, delta forces or what you could think of special forces…
This regiment has a peculiar history (as many of the Guard). It was a “normal” Ranger regiment making ambushes, sabotages, ship to ship combat and other risky operations (just like stormtroopers) until very recently.
While operating on Armaggedon,they were called by a distress signal coming from a Techpriest personnal shuttle shot down by Ork fightaboumerz. For the men of the regiment, it was an operation they had made many times before.
After heavy fightings against orks and their Mechboys interested by the Mechanicus treasures, 3rd company finally extracted with the Tech priest and his retinue. What they will learn later that this peculiar Techpriest was carrying recently discovered STC devices…
Hundreds of years later, a delegation of Techpriests from Cypra Mundi forge world came to Elysia to visit the regiment who rescued their brother adept. They were accompanied by Magos biologis. This delegation wanted to grate them for the regiment very good behaviour and good disposal for being enhanced.
Recent tests to improve guardsmen combat abilities have proven quite interesting and the omen was good (D-99 Elysian regiment, Lostock 23rd and so on). Techpriests also wanted to fieldnew weapons created thanks to the STC discovered near Armaggedon.
Such weapons were:
New sensors and surveyors integrated to the helmet
Hellguns with extra powerpack (increasing weapon range or strength) (lasblaster, shuriken)
New stormbolters designed to be issued to elite Imperial guard squads (lighter, easier to product, shorter range) (dire avenger shuriken catapult)
Heavy bolters with suspensors and new ammunition (bolt Emperor’s will) (shuriken canon)
Multilasers with extra powerpacks (scatter laser)
Lighter lascanons (bright lance)
Modified heavy plasma gun (less dangerous for personnel). (starcanon)
Jump packs for stormtroopers and drop regiments (swooping hawks)
Modified Valkyries with extra armour for its new close support role (wave serpent)
Modified Vultures still in study (fire prism)
Land speeders for storm trooper companies and drop regiments (vyper jetbike)
....
I will try to improve this later, does someone as goog knoledge about Adeptus Mechanicus?? Could be interesting for fluff..
Comments, ideas??? Suggestions are welcome!! ;D
Cheers
