Elysian Veterans in Carapace Armour seen at Games Day


I had been looking at these sketches for a few days now, and I was starting to wonder about them, until I spotted this. Finally a little more information on them.

First the Pics from Games Day, then the conversation. I beleive the pics came from a cell phone camera taken by MajorWesJanson

Steve Evans to Forge World
Dear FW: Can you tell us what goodness you have planned for the Elysian Drop troops, about to start collecting an army of them and I'm curious to know more.

Forge World Hi Steve,
You may have seen some of Mark Bedfords concept sketches for carapace armoured Elysians - essentially they are part of our product range and while it may take us a while to return to them, there will undoubtedly be more kits released from them at some stage.

Steve Evans Ahyes Elysian Stormtroopers!

Forge World Technically not, the Stormtrooper regiments are quite seperate from those founded from the many planets of the Imperium... however the sketches are for carapace-armoured elite Elysians, perhaps a bit like Death Korps Grenadiers.

Steve Evans will this then mean a change to the army list or are the elite Elysians you have mentioned their equivalent of stormtroopers?

Forge World Only time will tell...
