the tzeentchian outlook;
- the elysians IMHO are the better force rules-wise in the sense that it's something compleatly different and off-the-wall so to speak. any guard player can make a 'combined arms' infantry/tank force work! only a truely great command can make a bunch of loonies who throw themselves out of low flying planes work!

the elysians offer the vastly different gaming experience and will no doubt send your opponent into a conumdrum as they attepmt in vain to understand the idea of 'guard' + 'no tanks?!?' but
'guard??!?'
- however, the death korps easily have the better looking models by far! hands down, the only real thing the elysians have that looks cool are those drop sentinels...
so there you go, i can pick both forces as best and yet still claim one is in fact better than the other in the same answer! (ah, blessed are those who share tzeentch's infinate wisdom!)
cheers!
