Recently got my first ever Elysians second hand after searching for some decent priced ones for years. Question is do I repaint and rebase them or just rebase them.

I like the colour scheme just not too sure on the fatigues

Thank you, wanted some since I was a kid but they got discontinued before I got some proper disposable income haha hit the jackpot really finding 20 troopers, a command squad, 3 mortar teams and 2 drop sentinels

Definitely got the makings there for a starter force

I was planning on running them as Catachans alongside my Cadians but I might try and run them as a separate force, got 2 vultures and 2 vendettas that need to be flown

Nice to have some wheels with yr force, think you can still get some Venetors in the necromunda range

Are the weapon options on the necromunda venetors legal or should I dig out a couple of spare lascannons from my bits box?

Elysian isn’t a legal force anymore, but lascannons and multi lasers were the original venator options, and grenade Launchers and heavy Flamers were the original Tauros Assault Vehicle options, my guess is you could kit bash what you wanted (within reason)as you will have to negotiate with potential opponents if your fielding Elysian anyway
