Speaking of not enough room to manouver. Is that why we haven't seen our armour regiments doing anything?

Well, that makes me wonder, is it worth sallying to potentially deal as much damage to the titans as possible before they attempt to make a breach or not?
I'm wondering how artillery bombardment of their chaff is going. We really need to thin the chaff to prevent the summon, and we killed a billion in the previous turn from artillery.
@Durin
1. Would general harrassing of the Abomination troops inside Dis with the Hellguard Phase Tiger Riders
1a. be doable?
1b. be effective (I beliefe they get boni for home ground and fighting against fortifyed enemies)?
1c. impose mali on the harrassed?
2. What would be the enemies reaction to learning
2a. that we prepare to escort Lin per plane from Dis? I ask because they have largely lost air. As a desperation move it might be plausible and/or doable.
2b. of the equator spanning giant snake? I beliefe after seeing it in action we can tell that it is there. Getting the enemies tech priest to look that way might be harder given how long it stayed unnoticed by us. After their encounter with the magma worms it could sow duobt.

Probably not the best idea.
IIRC the problem with most titan killers is that they're quite fragile so operating in the city should be a bit of an advantage.
Currently? Probably not much they've set up their own theatre shields.
Probably killing a ton of them due to warp radiation, but it'll stop us from dropping too many shells on their heads.

No no no. Furious is a fantastic state of mind! I'm expecting WWI western front "Charge Their Lines!" tactics, here. It's not like massed infantry charges against prepared defences with minefields, concertina wire, automatic weaponry emplacements and artillery support can possibly go wrong, right?

That was supposed to already be the case a couple turns ago though and we still had:
In part 11.

Shrug.
Best answer I can come up with those are the forces they were sending to attack the city, not the ones cowering behind their puny force fields.

1. Yes
2. Not yet
3. Skilled at psychic dueling and deamoninf summoning, more control then power
4. No
@Durin
1. Are we still steadily harassing the troops outside the walls?
2. What made artillery effective in Part 11? Is it just continually doing damage?
3. What losses if any have there been to the chaff units outside the walls?
4. Was the 3 billion figure accurate on how many sacrifices they need to summon the 1st circle?
4.i. Can they do it without the required number?
I ask because we need to bring their total forces down to make them fail the ritual, and so killing chaff is really our best way to do that. We need to get them to the level where we can kill them down below the 3 billion mark before they can complete a summoning.

Reserving the riders for taking back the districts or hounding the elites?

Ok, guys, stop for a moment and remember why we've been giving ground in the first place. We are buying time for our fleet to arrive and trying to give the enemy enough hope that they can accomplish their objective so that they don't start summoning the First Circle Archangyl, something that will cause a daemonic incursion if they succeed. If you stop the Emperor's Talons at the earliest possible point, you're crushing their hopes of managing to kill Saint Lin too early - they'll start the summoning, which is what we've been trying to avoid.
Stop worrying so damn much about the assassins. They're not invincible, and we have the advantage of knowing about them in advance, which is a rather big problem for assassins since surprise is their biggest advantage. With all our advantages, I'm quite confident in our ability to stop them from reaching Saint Lin. I'd much rather deal with a bunch of mortal assassins than have to worry about a daemonic incursion occurring when we've got a bunch of Chaos forces already inside our walls.
Now, I'm going to look over suggestions made and make necessary alterations to my plan...

To clarify, is this:

@Addio I just did my odyssey exam and was kinda hoping to see Homeric writing tied to an embers fight. Was awesome.
I would put either Jane or Jacob on assassin's. They're both pretty good for killing mook heroes, and Jane in particular could be brutally effective with her high intrigue.
Alternatively, we could assign Lin Mittens as a bodyguard. High enough combat stats to regularly beat mooks and 49 intrigue would probably help a lot there too.

Personally I wouldn't mind throwing one of the Diviner choirs and one of the Pyromancy Choirs onto Scry and Fry duty, but I think some people are rather panicked about the assassins, so... yeah, overkill.

Guys, if we stop them at the walls, they won't have anywher safe to summon the angyle when they lose the orbitals. it might be a better idea to stop them at the outer walls and stall the marines,
