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
ODSTs, Drop Troops, Helldivers: FEET FIRST INTO HELL
*Droop Troops
Hell jumper ready for drop 🫡
“Troopers! We are green and very, VERY mean!”
The ODST trailer and Halo 3 believe trailers always give me chills
mmmh feet 😏😏🤤🤤🤤🤤
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”
"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
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."
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.
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.
19:53 I was flashbanged with the knowledge of Bricky owning a bullpupped shotgun. What accursed beast is he withholding from his people
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.
For Super Ear- I mean the Imperium of Man!
Super Terra!
Drop troops will be the reason I buy a 3D printer
Them and Emps Children are literally the entire reason I did.
Same TBH.
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.
The Chaos Gremlin energy of DK at the start of this episode is giving me life.
"It's only a warcrime if you loose." That rings uncomfortably true
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I have been collecting and repainting Elysian models for years. My favorite regiment by a country mile
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.
Bricky sweating out his demons in that ad read.
"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!"
"How many 8 year olds can you defeat?"
"That depends, are we in a mall?"
There is one enemy that no one has the courage to destroy.
She sends us cataclysmic cancer from her castle in the void
She blinds our children, burns our skin
Dries our crops and rivers thin
You already know her name
3 Octillion Tigers
God I love a good Jonathan Young reference
HELLDIVERS NEVER DIE!
Narrator: "They all died."
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.
The question about the respawning 8-year old reminds me of how Vulcan fought Magnus.
Yes, EDT finally. I hope inquisition allows them to mention D99
Fulgrim: I can take all the Imperial Guard at the same time😀
Imperial Guardsman: In a fight, right.
Fulgrim:😈
Imperial Guardsman: I-in a fight r-right
Imperial Guardsman: OH SWEET EMPER-
Local primarch breaks record for most humans involved in an orgy (eldar still hold the first place galactically)
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.🤨🐱
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.
That sounds like a terrifying FPS movie about drop troops surviving a ork WAH! I'd see that movie.
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 😊
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.
Petition for the next guard regiment to be the Tallarn Desert Raiders?
Second
"Your dissapointment encompasses the sun" legendary
No tigers were harmed in the making of this episode. Or, well, not that many tigers anyways.
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.
Putting the bodies in “we will crush you under the weight of our dead!” Nothing like getting bird striked by a guards’ man.
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.
Just found ya….that bullpup explanation was hilarious, I may or may not be able to confirm I was yelling in the kitchen
Hell jumper hell jumper where have you been? Feet first into hell and back again!
YES ELYSIANS! I own so many FW Elysian models, theyre one of my favorite Guard regiments. Love this!
Definitely the best poster so far.
Shy hard carried that one. 💪
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
"Pool cues stolen from pubs" killed me
This episode goes up there with the assassin one where the bois are just completely off the fucking rails.
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)
Just a Little Guy has found a new rival with that end cat tiger rant
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.
If I ever build and run a Guard army again, I'm going to name them the Octilian Tigers
another tragedy of a poster. give us big buff oiled up custodes bara poster
Lets gooo! So glad to see my second favourite Guard Regiment get some spotlight time!
War crimes? You mean a to do Checklist? Signed every Guard Commander ever.
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.
I mean, you gotta talk about the anphelion project next
Idk about the rest of Aus, but I love hearing about drop bears, Australia's most dangerous animal deserves more respect
Managed Democr-what? Hell-Pod?
Wake up Trooper, we're Halo-chuting in 30 seconds!
Also, for DK, some paratroopers use compact weaponry: the Bullpup has the same barrel length as its cousins, but with less stock, it takes up less space :)
As an Australian I can say no we love talking/hearing about dropbears
Ah yes, Elysian Drop Troops, the poor man's Harakoni Warhawks.
they may not win often, but they saved their homeworld. That's more than the Cadians can say.
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.
One of the only faction of 40K that as aesthetics from my country, also always good to see your video. 👍
As an 82nd baby, Death From Above. Elysians are fucking awesome.
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
I Read the "Word Bearer" trilogy, and these guys made the first book the best one.
as a fun note, with its current legends datasheet, the drop sentinel can equip a heavy bolter AND a multimelta together
Kreig need paratroopers with shovel shaped parachutes.
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.
I was a paratrooper and, yeah, this episode covers the general mission of an Airborne unit in a nutshell 🫡
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 someone who didn't manage to roll, it does seems to be a fairly important skill.
negative lift basicly means a man running down a runway flapping his arms up and down has a bigger chance of flying
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 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.
Oh baby, one of my fave guard units! Can't wait for a Tallarn vid!
Think the only worse fate of failing into the hands of the Emporer's Children would be getting captured by the Dark Eldar.
GW doesn’t want to deal with flyers, so I’d bet it will be a long time before we see Elysians again
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.
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.
in the fiction, the packs can actually fly on par with a marine jumpack (for as long as their limited battery packs last, so a couple minutes), but ruleswise they're treated as just hi-tech parachutes.
the Gaunts Ghosts use some in the novel 'Guns of Tanith" to insert a commando team into a chaos held 'city in the clouds' on Phantine. (the Phantine Skyborne are presented as another drop trooper regiment, because their world is a venus like toxic hellscape where there is basically just endless expanse of clouds, and the people live on mile long zepplin airships or domed cities on top of tall mountains)
I know in the Dark Heresy RPG, it doesn't allow for flight at all, as opposed to jump packs.
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.
12:45 It can be used on planet side, however its less zoom zoom, and more like slow-mo bouncy castle shenanigans, stolen heavily from the Dune books and movies, with the Harkonen and Saudakar, troops utilizing suspensor suits and doing the floaty spooky thing, but by no means is it very fast.... Floating in mid-air tends to give you negative zero amounts of cover, and for a maximum of about 10 minutes which is mostly eaten up during deployment. In the micro-gravity environment of an asteroid field however , smart troopers can make that 10 minutes last for hours.
...
Lastly if you have "already" accelerated to terminal velocity, negating gravity at the point is useless, yer still gonna go splat unless you have a form of rocket to slow you, which is also built in. no momentum as you activate anti-gravity equals a hover. There's a mention in one of the books about an anti-gravity "ray" that they used to deploy entire regiments at one time, if the beam shuts off or gets moved by any angle for even 2 seconds, the tank that "was" and is again in the ray is now moving at enough velocity (at zero g) that it still breaks the tank, like a lifta droppa.
By the Emperor, this episode was a fucking mess. Keep up the good work as always lads!
If they sent signed posters, I would actually buy them.
As an Australian I love drop bears. They are a symbol of our collective desire to lie about our country to every foreigner that we meet😂.
This topic reminds me of the new weebl music video which is an animated helldivers done in an 80’s cartoon intro style, it’s a slapping banger
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.
