your forgetting that we are going to have to fend off a ork invasion soon....which we still don't know the size of.
we are going to HAVE to keep our fleet back since it will take quite a while for the ships to get there, invade the planet,destory everything which will be hard cas its a deamon planet and then return.
also...hes smart, I don't want to underestmate him and I really don't want to underestmate the orks too.
the worst thing about this guy is he doesnt even need to be in control of a fleet himself to make it more dangerous.....the ork fleet that is going to attack us soon is made all the more dangerous because he timed his attack to be right before the ork invasion.
furthermore as another point...we can't be sure he won't recover his debts anyway...did Durin even say that he has gone into debt for this or even that its crippling?
@Durin:
do we know how big of a deal toruq made/how much dept he is in?
I honestly think the loses from not reinforcing our fleet will be worth the increased chance of properly perm-killing turoq because even with a SMALL fleet he is dangerous and he is going to make those psykers get better the longer he lives (more consistent and better training and with fewer casualties due to in-fighting).
as dangerous as several hundred major psykers are, several hundred master-class psykers is worse.

They're not. "Warhost and seers to reinforce the core battles" means normal Warhost, plus they detach a couple of seers for core battles.

But why exclude seers from dealing with Turoq? If anything, that's the guy they're most needed against, because we don't know which colony planet he's going to be attacking.
Then it should be "Warhost, and seers to reinforce the core battles." And this, kids, is why proper punctuation is important.

"A while" is like two or three years tops, because we don't need to invade if we want to wreck him, just blow up remaining ships and orbital infrastructure. Other Chaos realms will conquer what's left.
Yes, but seers will provide divination support for our fleets to finish what's left of task forces.
They have a lot more than a couple.
Math, who needs it. 5 more armies to Asgard and 5 of each psykers to Muspelheim it is.

I want this both or tactical reasons (which have already been expounded upon) and political reasons. Namely I want the trust navy (and especially the Vanaheimers) to fight alongside Eldar.I want them to see the Eldar potentially saving their lives at the risk of their own. Personal experience often trumps ancient history in even the most indoctrinated societies.

Lord Marshall Hrothgar of the Aesir
Age: 351 rejuved to 25
Martial: 13+10(12,15)=23(25,28)- Lord Marshal Hrothgar is an expert at commanding Knight-Titans at war, and at least decent with other forces.
Intrigue: 7+1=8- Lord Marshal Hrothgar is a blunt straightforward person who dislikes skulduggery of all types, and is not particularly good at spotting it.
Administration: 15+4=19-Lord Marshal Hrothgar is a decent administrator whose branch prospered under his leadership.
Learning: 18+1=19-Lord Marshal Hrothgar has a good education on a range of topics, though he has focused on war.
Piety: 23+1=24- Lord Marshal Hrothgar has a strong will and an iron sense of self, which has proven to be useful both for controlling his rather temperamental knight in his encounters with hostile psykers.
Diplomacy:13+2=15- Lord Marshal Hrothgar has the etiquette training of a noble of the Aesir, and is decent at putting it into use.
Combat: 16+17(21,23)=33(37,39)- Lord Marshal Hrothgar is a highly skilled Knight pilot who specializes in killing entire swathes of infantry forces, and has been known to kill over a million foes in a single battle.
Blood of the Aesir ( +1M, +2C) – Hrothgar is a Lord of the Aesir, one of the oldest of the Knight Houses, whose history stretches back into the beginning of the Dark Age of Technology.
Questoris Familia (+1M, +1D, +1C, can potentially pilot Knight Titans) – Hrothgar is a member of the Questoris Famila, the nobles, and as such has the potential to pilot Knight-Titans and is a member of one of the greatest and most powerful noble groups in the Imperium.
Einherjer (+1M, +1C, can pilot Knight Titans) – Hrothgar is a Einherjer, as the Aesir name those men who can pilot Knight Titans.
Lord Marshall of the Aesir (+2M, +2A, +1 to all other stats, +10 morale for people under his command)- Hrothgar is the Lord Marshal of the Aesir, with all the authority and responsibility that come with the title.
Tyrfing (+50 combat rolls, double move speed, +5 morale to troops under his direct command) – Lord Marshal Hrothgar strides to war in the ancient Knight-Errant "Tyrfing", a Knight with unmatched speed and agility.
Lord of Knights (+2M, +4C, additional +2M when commanding Knight-Titans and +4C when in Knight-Titan +80 to combat rolls when in Knight-Titan, +10 morale for people under his direct command when he is in Knight-Titan) – Hrothgar is counted among the greatest Knight-Pilots of the Imperial Trust, and there are few foes that he can not match in combat.
Foe-Reaper (+6C, double damage vs Infantry) -In battle Hrothgar cuts his way though enemy infantry with incredible speed and precsion, often killing more then entire maniples of veteran Knights.
Orkbane (+3M, +2C, additional +3M and +2C when fighting Orks)- Lord Marshal Hrothgar has spent much of his career fighting Orks, which has both honed his talents for combat and driven in the importance of tactics.
Administrator (+2A)- Lord Marshal Hrothgar has developed into a highly skilled administrator over the years, a talent that will be needed in his new position.
Lord-Marshal Hrothgar was born into the Baronial House of Scylfing in the final years of the Imperium. The House of Scylfing was once one of the mightiest of the houses of the Aesir but had since fallen from power and Hrothgar was raised on tales of past glories. Like all members of the Aesir he was tested by the knights of his house, a test that resulted in him being accepted by his grandfathers Knight, Ulfric's Hope.
Hrothgar was a young Einherjer who had only lived though two campaigns when the Emperor died, and the galaxy changed. This quickly changed when he was once of the first Knights deployed to Jotunheim to deal with the Chaos cults in what turned out to be one of the formative events of his career.
Hrothgar went to Jotunheim as a young Einherjer of no real reputation and several decades later came back an experienced veteran with an deep loathing of the Changer of Ways in all of its forms. This loathing has influenced many aspects of his personality, ranging from his dislike of intrigue to conservatism.
In the years since the Jotunehim Civil War Hrothgar has participated in many of the Imperial Trust' major campaigns, most especially those against the Orks who he has developed a real talent for fighting. In fact it was after the rather bloody Siege of Mar Sara when Hrothgar earned the position of Marshal of the Jutes, the Fifth House of the Aesir.
In person Lord-Marshal Hrothgar is blunt and straightforward, always taking the simplest practical route to his objectives and honest to a fault. This carries over to his politics, where he despises compromise, and to war, where he relies on the sheer combat power of his Knights over complex tactics. This preference for simplicity does not indicate a lack of intelligence and when required to he can come up with complex strategies to carry out his objectives, he just does not unless he has to.

Damn...pretty much a straight downgrade except in piety and learning neither of which are especially relevant to him compared to martial or combat.
Psi Grounding Rod
Doomed Wombat
Let's go Darling!

- Dancing on wires!
Psi Grounding Rod
Created as an early Dark Age attempt to control the outbreak of psykers these devices are capable of absorbing limited amounts of psycic energy in an area around themselves. In practise this reduces the amount of power going into a direct attack like a blast of fire.
However, the device has severe restrictions. First is cost, similar to most anti warp devices.
Second is fragility. This is both an issue with the devices themselves that are not particularly sturdy, but also a more general issue that they can easily be overwhelmed. This is likely the result of the Dark Age not having large numbers of psykers above the level of Gamma, never mind Betas and Alphas. Against Apex levels the Grounding Rods will rapidly begin to overwhelm and then detonate releasing the stored power in a very dangerous manner.
The Eldar recovered these devices.
Titan drop pods
Created by Callamus as a means of deploying their most powerful asset as quickly as possible, a Titan drop pod is surprisingly complex. There are numerous hurdles that must be overcome in order to drop a titan from orbit without harming the Machine within or making it an easy target to being shot down. Even now the largest titan (the Imperator) cannot be dropped at all and it is risky to try to drop Warlords.
However, tactically the ability to literally drop titans on an enemy force is near unprecedented.
Psy gun
Another device recovered by the Eldar, the psy in this case stands for psychological, not psycic. When activated the device will influence the emotions, of its target through nearly undetectable sound waves, denaturing of certain enzymes and other wise changing the body chemistry. Doing this will have two effects.
The gun comes in two forms. First is assassination. This takes the shape of an easily concealable device that can be used to influence someone at close range.
The second is a far longer range "sniper" that is best used against officers, badly affecting their decision-making abilities and confusion.
The device has severe limits. The design is intended for human use primarily and needs to be reconfigured for non-human, or divergent biology's as well as being a complex and delicate weapon.
Nightlight and Lightbloom flares
A system that was used during the Great Crusade, these flares have opposite purposes.
Designed for elite forces, when fired into the sky the Nightbloom flares, emit a field that forces the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans see to move around it. This creates an area of darkness that is practically impenetrable. Most commonly used on stealth raids at night or in dim areas, they are best used in combination with visors that can mark targets so that the force using the Nightlight can still see their opponents even when they cannot see them.
By contrast Lightbloom flares are designed for more common useage and during the day time, being less technologically sophisticated. When activated they will burst into incredibly bright light that will stun and hopefully blind soldiers who are not prepared for them or lack protection and start to emit radiation and static that will scatter vox communication. The static has a specific frequency that it does minimal harm too, so allied voxs will still function.
Needle plasma
Ryza is known as the King of Plasma with good reason. The Needle Plasma gun was an ancient attempt by the forge to get around the issue of overheating endemic to Imperial weapons and it succeeded to an extent.
The result is a rapid-fire weapon that fires "needles" filled with contained plasma. At short range there are few weapons that match it in terms of raw damage output over time, however the design never managed to go far outside of Ryza. The ammunition fired by the weapon is very sophisticated and expensive and the weapon's short range, combined with how a basic plasma gun does more damage per hit sealed this fate.
The Laciarn Tank
The pride and joy of many battle congregations, the Laciarn was a fully intact STC main battletank recovered by Ryza shortly after its founding and was the first step in cementing its status as the plasma king.
The tank is a grav vehicle, allowing it to easily glide over most terrain with lateral fins providing stability and balance, and possesses thick armour plating and ion shielding. Internally the crew are presented with holographic interfaces that allow them to see 360 degrees around the vehicle. However, the most obvious part of the tank is the highly complex array rising over the top of the vehicle. When activated the array casts a massive ball of burning plasma which crashes into the ground exploding violently. The array possesses little chance of overheating due to highly advanced cooling systems although it cannot fire too quickly.
The tank appears to have been intended as an artillery piece of some kind as its main gun can be best compared to a mortar. However, crews say that whether this is the intent or no it acts just as well attacking foes straight in front of it.
All of this comes with one, overwhelming massive down side. The Laciarn is expensive. Hilariously so. On their own grav technology, and stable plasma are among the most expensive human technologies known. Combining the two together in the form of a tank creates a bill that boggles the mind and reserves the Laciarn to only the most elite of elite troops.
Solar Fury
While an impressive name the actual device is far less overwhelming than it implies. Created by the Ultramarines to gain an early advantage when attacking Tau worlds. When activated the Fury detonates and instigates a solar flare from within a star.
This solar flare will then impact a planet causing a strong, but temporary haywire field to appear. While Tau devices are hardened against such attacks they are still impacted, and it can make the difference between a successful assault on orbital defences, or failure.
Although potentially potent against non-tau enemies, the devices are expensive and are limited outside of their specific use and as should be expected with such vast manipulation of the laws of nature there are some accuracy issues. In addition, if there are long term effects on either star or planet is unknown.
Magnetic Accelerator Rings
Designed by Callamus to ease the transportation of goods and movement of troops within system, Magacc Rings are massive circles of metal. When a ship passes through one wearing a specific coating then the rings will accelerate their real space movement.
Moving through multiple rings will accelerate a ship more, however too many will likely rip the ship apart.
These devices have saved Callamus massively both in time spent moving resources, as trips to and from the edge of systems can take weeks if not more, and in their early days worlds as well as fleets were able to arrive in orbit faster and cut their enemies off. Now it is standard practise for Ophelians and Necrons to destroy many Mag rings they encounter.
Regeneration formula.
One of the crowning achievements of the Organist faction, the regeneration formula allows for rapid regeneration of damaged flesh and tissue. Simply injecting oneself with the formula will let the liquid within go to work, and rapidly reinforce wound and other injuries. More advanced variants of the formula will heal broken limbs.
Issued primarily to bio skittari and only the elite at that.
Heated Impalers and River Gun
Ironically the Trust is the faction in the wider galaxy with some of the least experience in using the Impaler to its true potential.
Using ideas copied from an affiliate species, the Tulanar, Callamus created two variants of the impaler. The first is a simple modification that superheats and fires the rounds, setting enemies and terrain ablaze.
The second is far more complex, firing a stream of molten metal from the barrel of the gun. The operator can tune the pressure of the barrel turning the weapon from a burning piercing weapon, to a horrific flamer at the touch of a dial, trapping and burning the enemy alive in molten metal.

We are just dealing with local enemies right here and now. We're also going to be dealing with the local Orks in the very near future, unless we're so lucky that they'll mess with some of their other neighbors instead. But when are we ever that lucky?

I'd like to suggest saying that the Psi Grounding Rods dissipate the psychic energy back into the Warp. It's kinda implied they do that by their nature but I think it'd be good to make it explicit.
I have a few problems with this.
1. Titans are really really really durable. Drop pods sized for humans can't seriously damage humans, so drop pods sized for Titans most certainly shouldn't be able to seriously damage Titans or anything in them.
2. Complexity should not be the issue. Fundamentally, they wouldn't be that different from normal drop pods. Instead, the issue should be size. Titans are big. Drop pods big enough to hold Titans are bigger. Drop pod bays to hold the aforementioned drop pods and Titans are bigger still. The first downside of Titan drop pods should be that they force ships to compromise in certain areas to hold them.
2.1. The other issue with their size is that decoys can't really be a thing. With normal drop pods, decoy drop pods that are empty are dropped alongside normal drop pods. This is to spread out the enemy fire and reduce casualties amongst troops. Titan drop pods take up so much space that there really isn't space for decoys. This means that all the drop pods have to be extra safe from enemy fire, which means spending more resources improving their defensive capabilities.
Stable plasma isn't any more expensive than normal plasma. "Normal" plasma is a straight downgrade, its flaw existing not out of intent to make it cheaper, but because the knowledge on how to build them properly was lost.
The issue would be the opposite. Too few would rip the ship apart. Ideally, you want to accelerate all of a ship's parts at the same time, so that there's no tearing. Accelerate one part of the ship and not the other and you get problems.
So the problem shouldn't be that there's a maximum speed, but that there needs to be a minimum number of rings, with the minimum number increasing as the ship's length increases.
Trying to apply Intrigue to Tzeentchians is a bad idea no matter how high it is. The best way to deal with Tzeentchians is to apply things like Martial and Combat against them.
The problem is one does not always get to choose the field of 'battle' so poor defenses in any area are a bad news for a leader. To put it another way Hrothgar is only slightly better at detecting when he is being lied to than Ridiculy is in talking to other humans. For a politician who faces deception and weighted discourse on a daily basis this is an enormous weakness.

You need to look at the bright side of life. Instead of seeing a giant tire fire, consider if this presents any opportunities for you.
Anyway, people seem very concerned that Turoq might escape to be a thorn in our side in the future.
Besides the Warhost option preserving our strength to better take care of him by then, and his own compromised position by that point, there's the fact that this will if anything encourage his neighbors to put more pressure on him. And he'll have lost even more favor with his god.
