The Elysian Drop Troops are Imperial Guard Regiments known for their rapid deployment capabilities, often deploying by rappelling or grav-chutes from Valkyrie Airborne Troop Carriers at high altitudes. These drop regiments are able to strike deep into enemy territory, specialising in ambushing the enemy or capturing important objectives, and can operate for extended periods of time without resupply.

Thank you for making a video about one of my favorite IG regiments.
you suck
"Captain, we're surrounded."
"We're drop troopers Private... we're supposed to be surrounded."
Bricky clearly has covid because he lost his taste if he doesn't like Elysian models.
He absolutely lost his taste.
Enjoying those models and Furiosa....we can only hope for his swift recovery
Captain of the Elysian Drop Troops: "Ok men, we are going into hell and fight for the Golden Throne!"
One new trooper who recently transfered before the mission: "And For Managed Democracy!"
*Droop Troops
@@Lu-db1uf huh ?
@@kerianndoassanswatch the video and you will get it
The commissar turns and executes them. "I wish they would stop letting them spread ideas!"
“WE ARE GREEN, AND VERY, *VERY* MEAN”
Elysians are my fav to play tabletop because they let you do so many meme strats, like dropping a squad of plasma guardsmen directly on top of enemy space marines so they can blow themselves up when their plasma overheats
I just use a big old 15 man Scion squad for that. 2 pistols and 2 plasma guns with First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire.
We’re so close to talking about my favorite guard regiment, the Harakoni Warhawks
Ah yes, the Elysian Drop Troops, but Better
I love them too
I doubt they could do a full episode. Since there is like less than a quarter elysian size of lore there.
@@mastershangchi3410Yeah… the injustice in that fact is heartbreaking.
Elysian drop troops with heavy weapons and carapace armour!
The Harakoni Warhawks. Everything the Elysian wish they could be... if only they were not press ganged, aged out pdf troopers.
As an ork player I basically summarize this entire video as “DARE DA HUIME STORM BOYZ!”
As someone who can't afford to play Warhammer, but desperately wants to play orks, I am stealing that
@@rustyshackleford6906you don't need to buy new, and can buy slowly over time. There's a lot of ork stuff you can get for fairly cheap.
The internet: "You need 3 octillion tigers to defeat the sun."
The Hive Mind: "Oh, EZ."
I’m not even mad at that raycon ad
The Segway made me giggle
Segue into a segway! With this mobility tool, *sudden segway ad*
It was a great Dean Kamen.
Drop troops will be the reason I buy a 3D printer
Them and Emps Children are literally the entire reason I did.
Same TBH.
The Chaos Gremlin energy of DK at the start of this episode is giving me life.
For Super Ear- I mean the Imperium of Man!
Super Terra!
I have been collecting and repainting Elysian models for years. My favorite regiment by a country mile
Of course 40k is just full of boxes: Land Raiders, Dreadnaughts, Saint Katherine, list goes on.
You're telling me OUR ENEMIES HIDE IN METAL BAWKSES?
Paratroopers suffering heavy casualties is not just a 40K problem, it's been a problem since they were invented. The German paratroopers had great success early on in the first year of the war, but after that it was just disaster after disaster every time they were used. Even the paratroop drop during D-Day in Normandy was a disaster. Hardly anyone landed in their assigned drop zone and it was only thanks to the slow response of the Germans that they weren't wiped out and were able to accomplish their missions. And even then Allied officers had to just grab whatever soldiers had landed near them as everyone was spread out all over Normandy. It's widely accepted now that paratroopers will be quickly wiped out when deployed in areas with organized defenders unless they are immediately linked up with regular forces. Look at the Russian VDV forces wiped out in the opening attack on Ukraine for a modern example.
That kinda explains why Helldivers players can't retake the Creek.
19:53 I was flashbanged with the knowledge of Bricky owning a bullpupped shotgun. What accursed beast is he withholding from his people
T'au on the tabletop: "Our Ethereal is Dead! It's all Joe'ver!"
T'au on in the books: "Shas'la our Ethereal has moved on to the afterlife, let's make sure he isn't lonely there."
edit "box" ==> "books"
There was a brief edition where the t'au got a one turn buff when the ethereal died, followed by massive debuff rest of the game.
"Helljumper, Helljumper where you been? Feet first into hell and back again!"
WHEN I DIE PLEASE BURY ME DEEP
PLACE AN MA5 DOWN BY MY FEET
"When I die, please bury me deep! With my MA5 down at my feet!"
My favorite drop troupe story is them dropping through the gap in the shield and a weapon beam, disabling the shield and some getting away
The closest thing you'll ever get to ptsd from 40K audiobooks is listening to the Scions of Elysian audio drama series from Zachariah's perspective as he watches recruits with failed grav suetes helplessly turned to mush potatoes (including sound effects) around him.
The production value in the mini series was amazing
Who else wants the next poster to be a metric butt tonne of tigers falling out the back of a Valkyrie?
Tigers in guardsman combat armor.
Tigers in guardsman combat armor and big booba.
"It's only a warcrime if you loose." That rings uncomfortably true
I like the idea that 10k years in the future a hyper advanced alien species will excavate the ruins of earth.
They find the meme about the sun and how many Tigers would be needed to beat it.
Using mass cloning technology, they create the amount of tigers needed according to the meme, launch them into the sun.
After witnessing the results, they write the answer down and bury it next to the meme.
I wasn't expecting Bricky to reveal he owns a bullpup of all things. My money's on a KSG.
He strikes me as a mdr or aug type of guy.
Not gonna lie the Elysian Drop Troops feel way more T'au than Imperium in their aesthetics: Tactical compact gear, weaponry that feels very modern inspired rather than WW2 inspired, and even their tactics feel less WW2 Airborn Divisions and more modern spec ops units.
Honestly, it just makes me want to see some kind of T'au equivalent with Pathfinders or hell revive the old XV1 stealth suites and give them this kind of role. Even if its something that only exists in the novels I think I would be really cool.
Bricky sweating out his demons in that ad read.
Finally, my favorite Guard faction. The aesthetic is peak. I love the concept of jet pack drop troops, whether it be Mandalorians, Helldivers, ODSTs, etc.
The harkoni Warhawks fit the heavy air borne more for me. Much closer to Mando or ODST in look than the Elysian. Both are cool and under represented guard.
@@Earliersphere I’ll have to check the warhawks out then!
27:42 love that vultures and Valkyries are legal, but somehow the vendetta is banished to legends 😢
AdRid: "I know nothing about guns"
Me: "I bet that thing has a garbage trigger"
bullpup transfer bar moment
@@byro_ Tbf las guns can just have electronic triggers since they don't need mechanical parts to function unlike stubbers.
@@alfatazer_8991 yeah, that’s true. But you’d still have to deal with the Armpit reload. Otherwise it might not be that bad for a laser gun with almost no moving parts. Still doesn’t help the ergonomics issue, but the 40k weapons aren’t exactly designed with the comfort of the shooter (who will likely die before they fire let alone empty the weapon) anyways.
I will endlessly trash on bullpup firearms though, and I’m glad that they’re being phased out of most of the militaries who use them. Far too many tradeoffs for a slightly smaller package with comparable muzzle velocity to a rifle length weapon, which wouldn’t matter at the ranges they were designed to be used in anyways. Just use a Carbine length weapon system.
@@byro_But then the question is: why bother with a bullpup laser? It's not like you need to feed the lasing mechanism at the back (and even if you did you could just use a cable or busbar). IMO the only purpose would be if you regularly use bullpup bullet guns and want the reloading reflexes to carry over.
That said, I figure bullpup weaponry has a place in spacefuture combat. You could solve the trigger problem with an electronic primer like the EtronX mechanism, and have a magazine like the P90 or G11 prototype...
@@NXTangl There are a lot of answers to this question. Some of which open up a few cans of worms.
The real answer is simple: It’s an aesthetic choice for the faction, plain and simple.
An in universe answer requires me to ask another question which has no real solid answer. Is it actually firing a laser?
If yes, then barrel length would be irrelevant, and a heavy Las-Pistol should actually be the standard issue weapon for the guard, as lasers wouldn’t be affected by barrel length, nor recoil and thus could be kept in a compact package. (Star Trek Phasers for example)
If no, then what is it shooting? How does barrel length affect the “ballistics” of the “projectile”? There are many instances of the lasgun being described or shown to have recoil. Is it plasma? Highly compressed gas? A projectile?
Nobody really knows, not even in the lore due to the backwards nature of the Imperium. They probably only use it because that’s what they’ve always used. It’s what their forge world has patterns of so they just make it and don’t ask questions or wonder why. To do such is heresy after all.
TL;DR:
Bullpup looks cool on cool space guys on the tabletop.
Lore can explain it away by saying that the reason why was lost to time. To question is to doubt, and to doubt is Heresy.
There is one enemy that no one has the courage to destroy.

"How many 8 year olds can you defeat?"
"That depends, are we in a mall?"
Yes, EDT finally. I hope inquisition allows them to mention D99
The question about the respawning 8-year old reminds me of how Vulcan fought Magnus.
What the hell was Azriel on to come up with this horrible looking gun, I’m not even sure the bolts could even get to the receiver.🤨🐱
Petition for the next guard regiment to be the Tallarn Desert Raiders?
Second
This episode reminded me of my original desire to start 40k as a guard player and go HEAVY into Valkyries... I'ma do it one day.
Still remember that odst ad fron halo 3… one, if not the best, ad i have ever seen from a video game and i watch it basically multiple time per year.
HELLDIVERS NEVER DIE!
Narrator: "They all died."
20:03 Thank you, DK; as an Australian, we have strict gun laws, and I had no idea a Bullpup was a thing.
As Ex-ADF our rifles are bullpup, all good not too many people are aware of that. We have been using bullpup firearms since 1988
Our defense forces use the styre.
"Fired" one at a sim range and paraded with one when i was in cadets
Bullpup sounds like an energy drink that causes some kind of digestive issue.
Nah mate, been awhile since I head Drop Bear myself. Good chuckle and joke.
For those of you who don't know and would like to know the difference between a standard rifle layout compared to that of a Bullpup the only difference is between the two is that while both of them both have 16 in barrels one of them is actually I guess you could say length to 16 inch barrels while the other one is because the magazine is in the rear where the stock is you get the full 16-in Barrel but in a much smaller frame there therefore you are able to paradrop and clear buildings much much more effectively and efficiently because you don't have that Barrel picking out and a being encompersome while in close confined spaces and also doesn't pick you out or show where you are in the vicinity so then you can properly clear out a room or building and not give away your position just food for thought for people who would like to know 😊
YES ELYSIANS! I own so many FW Elysian models, theyre one of my favorite Guard regiments. Love this!
The Elysian Drop Troops are the constant personification of the Operation: Market Garden; a lot of effort for little gain and a disappointing end. Also, I love how the Cyclops demolition tank is just a bigger IRL Goliath.
That sounds like a terrifying FPS movie about drop troops surviving a ork WAH! I'd see that movie.
"Your dissapointment encompasses the sun" legendary
Funny story, I was part of a 40k IG themed clan and I first entered it by joining their Elysian division.
Eventually that division got disbanded (lack of recruits and people kept leaving) and I joined the ST division, which eventually left the larger clan to become its own thing.
No tigers were harmed in the making of this episode. Or, well, not that many tigers anyways.
Shy hard carried that one. 💪
I worked a summer in Landscaping back in the day to Get some Elysian Drop Troops, and lo and behold the day I went to buy myself some minis, they were discontinued two weeks prior. I was beyond devastated and swore to never buy into 40K until either they came back, or they brought the Harakoni Warhawks in or, gave me some sort of equivalent. Like I would use the Cadian Models if they gave us some Grav Chute extras to stick on them or something.
Definitely the best poster so far.
Hell jumper hell jumper where have you been? Feet first into hell and back again!
Putting the bodies in “we will crush you under the weight of our dead!” Nothing like getting bird striked by a guards’ man.
Just found ya….that bullpup explanation was hilarious, I may or may not be able to confirm I was yelling in the kitchen
By the Emperor, this episode was a fucking mess. Keep up the good work as always lads!
"Pool cues stolen from pubs" killed me
Fun fact, I remember reading somewhere how an Elite remarked how ODSTs come with their own coffins so yeah, drop troopers with coffins is standard slander.
This episode goes up there with the assassin one where the bois are just completely off the fucking rails.
If I ever build and run a Guard army again, I'm going to name them the Octilian Tigers
Just a Little Guy has found a new rival with that end cat tiger rant
Of course YT recommends this after yesterdays teaser
As an Australian I can say no we love talking/hearing about dropbears
I'm so upset that not one of them, or Shy, realized that "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make" is a quote from Shrek.
You can't keep the Elysians down, there are DOZENS of Elysian fans. BAKERS DOZENS.
(Fr though, I love the elysians, made an Elysian army, and love to see them covered)
Ah yes, Elysian Drop Troops, the poor man's Harakoni Warhawks.
Elysian models look goofy for a reason: they are 40k scale versions of the Imperial Guard assault squad from Epic back in the day. Honestly it's a role that the -Guard- could use filling, especially seeing as Valkyries aren't much use these days, because they are sorely lacking on the light melee front.
Lets gooo! So glad to see my second favourite Guard Regiment get some spotlight time!
they may not win often, but they saved their homeworld. That's more than the Cadians can say.
Elysians are my favorite Guard regiment, but they were always doomed. Paratroopers are reliant on their grounded comrades to relieve them quickly. So a highly well trained and mobile force that use unconventional means of getting around left hoping the rest of the generally slow moving Guard gets to them. Not going to end well.
At Taros the Cadians were something like a day late.
Yeah we Australians do a head slap all the time, it's how we get the drop bears off.
I mean, you gotta talk about the anphelion project next
I Read the "Word Bearer" trilogy, and these guys made the first book the best one.
War crimes? You mean a to do Checklist? Signed every Guard Commander ever.
I always remember the Rimmy Downunder gaming Arma 3 operation where they play as the Elysians. The last guy that didn’t manage to escape used a melta bomb kill several word bearers.
Actually I was wrong, they were cadian drop troops.
They hover by creating downwards force. If there's just their weight, they can hover, but it's not a hover button, it's a small scale jetpack, so its only enough to slow their fall
As the one obligatory Australian Adric fan: it's not the dropbears you need to worry about, it's the swooping birds that want your tucka (food)
Or just magpies being dicks
isnt that just seagulls?
So when are we getting our TaleSpin droop troops poster? Seeing a bunch of bear men in grav chuts dropping out of a twin boom proppeller plane would be amazing.
18:13 the bullpup las carbine allows for quicker maneuvering and aiming, but you have to take you aim away from the target when changing clips
*mags
I was a paratrooper and, yeah, this episode covers the general mission of an Airborne unit in a nutshell 🫡
Think the only worse fate of failing into the hands of the Emporer's Children would be getting captured by the Dark Eldar.
Sees Kirioth in the image: HELL YEAH! HELL! YEAH!
Sees the poster: AWWWWWW YEAH!
Bricky: Sick from a Con
We're eating good to start this episode
One of the only faction of 40K that as aesthetics from my country, also always good to see your video. 👍
another tragedy of a poster. give us big buff oiled up custodes bara poster
negative lift basicly means a man running down a runway flapping his arms up and down has a bigger chance of flying
Ok, so the Elysians exist to be a named company that loses so xenos and chaos have a win once in a while lol
The 72nd Elysian Storm Troopers - Part of the Imperial counterattack to liberate Tanakreg from the Word Bearers. Were definitely interesting. They are mentioned in the word bearer omnibus series. A really good read. I hope you guys can read it eventually.
A little bit more on the pullpup lasguns the Elsyian boys use - Kirioth says their lasguns are more "compact" but doesn't really explain how that works. In real-world firearm design, if you put the magazine behind the trigger, that means you can also put the chamber (the "start" of the barrel) and bolt behind the trigger. Then, instead of the chamber being a few inches in front of your hand, it's a few inches behind it. This way, a gun with say a 14.5" barrel (standard M4 barrel length) would end up being several inches shorter in a bullpup configuration while still having the same length barrel, and thus the same effective range and accuracy. The real-world downside is that the manual of arms for bullpup rifles tends to be less biomechanically compatible with our anatomy (makes reloads more difficult) and they aren't as friendly to left-handed shooters unless expressly designed for it (for example, the AUG-A1 can have its ejector flipped to eject brass either left or right, and the side it's not ejecting from can have a rubber cover inserted). Shooting a standard M4 left-handed is uncomfortable but doable - shooting an AUG left-handed without switching the ejection to the other side means you're getting hot brass sprayed at your neck.
What functional implications this has for lasguns in WH40k, no idea. They aren't firearms, they shoot lasers. Lasers as we understand them today just need a focal array and lasguns don't eject anything when they shoot. Like everything else in WH40k, this concept was likely pursued just because it looks cool.
Deathwatch it depends on the chapter, some send their newly graduated Space Marines for experience, some send their veterans, some see it as a mark of honour, so go as a punishment and some (like the space wolves) see it it as an annoying duty they have to do and basically draw lotts.
G.W. has not forgot these guys there's armor of them in Darktide
The grav chute reminds me of the gm nightseekers own back pack except it can use it to jump back onto the ship that it deployed from after completing its mission.
The Elysians also get bodied by Word Bearers in the first book of their omnibus and are viewed mockingly by the Dark Apostle for even trying to assault space marines.
Holy shit I can’t wait for Bricky to watch Nathan for You. 12/10 television
That poster is grounds for cancelling Realm of Ridiculous and putting Detective Ridiculous back into the production schedule.
GW doesn’t want to deal with flyers, so I’d bet it will be a long time before we see Elysians again
The four wheel buggies the Elysians have remind me of DPVs (Desert Patrol Vehicles, basically stripped down and heavily armed dune buggies) U.S. special operations use.
Man never actually thought my favorite regiment would get an episode. People seem to forget the Elysians exist half the time.
The elysians always make me sad.... when they were first floated at roughly the same time as 'Krieg', i was overjoyed!.
All the army's were expanding even if it was only on forgeworld.
They were exactly the 'guard' i wanted to collect and even gave me the idea to collect a 'Dropship Specialist' Force, so like steel legion mostly mechanised.
I even went so far to desgin a 'Tyranid V Guard' mini game {Pre-Lost Patrol},
and even designed a 'Modded Valkyire' that drops a small 'Zodiac' and six man team, and small 'Nam' like 'Whirlybird' Choppers to drop teams.
Then GW seem to decide "Nah, cant be bothered".......
My biggest grumble these days is, Despite the vastness of the 'Grimdark Universe', they seem to have become almost entirely 'Terra' Focused......😒
P.s. I'm sorry bricky the original 'Mad Max' Trilogy is better, 'Fury road' was Terp......😁
"In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only BOXES!" - DK
Yes! One of my favorite regiments!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The bulpup design to keep the barrel as long as possible to make the bullet more accurate.
Also the bolter is technically against the Geneva convention for exploding bullets
