[x] Plan Ambush
Rather go balanced then aggressive at this point. And no throwing our heroes at headcrusha because losing those will take a lot longer to replace then the black irons

I think he's too stupid to know what a wall is beyond something to go through to get to the fight.

A wall is just an unopened door. Or something weak like paper mache, or Radditz
I think both current plans do mine does but I do not know about the other one.
Edit both plans divide support for the ambushers

....Wait a minute? What are the chances that Avernus is grommimg the Avernites into a race of Psyker Warriors with access to a more broader range of Disciplines then it's other more specialized life forms already there?

I'd recommend that you have the Last Hunters also use Alkhestry potions to boost them against Headcrusha since might as well actually use them.

I don't think we even would really benefit from the level of blanks we have access to—willpower shit from Avernus puts our normal citizens at about the same level in anti-psyker and chaos resistance stuff. Given that part of the tradeoff is loss of 'gut-feeling' level Divination that people get even from sub-minor psyker levels and how important that can be on Avernus...

.....yep...preeeettty much.
exactly....I think everyone is getting that feeling.....
the animals on avernus are not stuff from before. they are CURRENTLY being optimized by the planet.....and its not going to exclude humans, why would it? it includes the other humanoids right?
I wonder if it will give us anything beyond "fasta, stronga" and more/stronger pysckers
....we know some of the animals have non-warp based powers afterall.

While humans placed on most planets tend to develop at least minor unique traits (like the Midgardian ability to store nutrients much more efficiently than other worlds) and ones in extreme environments tend to be abhumans in all, but name (Catachanians flack armour abs, Valhallan's immense cold resistance) this is a process that usually takes thousands of years.
Avernus is already developing in this way after only a few hundred, with increased reflexes, a much stronger immune system and a very impressive poison resistance being the first noticeable thing...as a result its also very hard to get them drunk.
So yeah the PM is likely speeding things along in that direction.

I've removed fry n scry so that our ambush gets every possible bonus to their rolls, between descents, heavy air bombardment and half a billion PA troops on the offensive fry n scry seemed overkill.
Your logic is wrong. We already know that Ridicully can divine Headcrusha's character sheet with one turn of working on it. That has been stated by Durin already.
Durin isn't giving it to us for free, and he's certainly not giving it to us for free before the next turn.
His post-cognition is not as good as his current time scrying.
There's also the aspect that if we do it now it's a war turn where it costs us basically nothing. If we wait we'd have to spend an actual turn on it, which no one will ever want to do.

No, but he is going to tell us the relevant traits behind why he's so damn hard to kill.
We don't need to know the unique circumstances that turned Headcrusha into this monster, the next one will have very different circumstances that created him, so there's almost certainly no need to know what he Headcrushed to get his boost to paragon.
Yeah, but his post cognition is still good enough to see back 20,000 years to scry the STC we picked up, passing through Avernus's anti post cog interference. He is not as good at post cognition, but that just means he still do the impossible, rather than the really ****ing impossible.
We can't do it now. Ridcully needs a year to get a full character sheet and this war turn sure as hell won't last that long. We can only get in a turn, its just that the next turn only lasts a year then we go off to the high council proper.

Ulthuan from Warhammer Fantasy has several ways of dealing with problems, such as armies, wizards, and heroes. One particularly fun and effective method they have for dealing with a problem is "drop a bunch of dragons on it". What is Avernus' equivalent to that? Do we even have an equivalent?

Are you referring to Avernus the world or Avernus the humans that live on it?
Cause Avernus the world could just deal with most problems by waking up a weapon or two. I'd wager a single turtle with about 5 sun beetles (probably over kill) would be able to annihilate most Dragon flights.
And of course Avernus the world has a lot of Dragons...like 7 in the regions we know about.

Humans, hence "we".
By "equivalent", I mean in function, not in form.

Well Titans (and soon mega titans), Psyker Execution force, Last Hunters, Life Guard, Thunda Beast riders to varying degrees would count.
Oh and for the ocean our pet kraken would do as well.
We could try seeing if we can tame some of the Dragon Species like the Mountain or Plain dragons so we can do an actual dragon drop.

Ah, right, Titans. I'd forgotten about them because of how rarely we use them on account of their low numbers. Looking forward to finally being able to make some new ones so we can use them more often and more liberally.
