- Heavy Assault Infantry. Can use their grav-packs to jump around the battlefield. - Veterans of the now disbanded Elysian 41st "Angel Guard". The Elysian Drop Troopers were one of the first Imperial Guard Regiments to arrive on Cadia at the dawn of the 13th Black Crusade. - Led by Lord Admiral James "Pinpoint" Townes, the Elysian forces fought side-by-side with their Cadian allies, opting to conduct the most dangerous operations in order to buy their allies much valuable time, at the expense of their own lives. - However, their sacrifices would be unfortunately for naught, as Cadia herself was destroyed by Abaddon. What's more, the Elysian Battlefleet Hesperia, originally deployed in the Damocles Sector as part of "Operation Overlord", was devastated by the Tekarn Forces and forced to retreat, unable to reinforce the Elysians in the Cadian Sector. - With their Regiment utterly decimated, Townes and his surving Rangers would've been destroyed, had not been for General Castor and his 8th, saving them during the Imperial retreat. - As the 41st was declared "combat ineffective", it was deemed necessary by the Segmentum Command to merge its survivors with the Cadian 8th, now serving once again as the Cadian Honour Guard under the leadership of the new Lord Castellan of the Cadian Inner Forces, Hershel Von Shepherd. - Armed by default with the highly powerful Accatran Lasgun. Can fire a barrage of Flashbang Grenades.
