The galaxy which malleus resides isn't completely overwhelmed by orcs, sure there are a few ork empires here and there as well the random Waaaagh here and there, but there are quite far from you so a invasion is quite unlikely to happen.

1.Does it mean were can take over the Galaxy Malleus is in? How would that even work? Like do the Humans, Elves, Dwarves etc. get their own colonies or is it a joint venture? 2.Would Magic work beyond Malleus or are Wizards born outside of it Psykers?
3.Are there more worlds out there like Malleus that were terraformed by the Old Ones?
4.Are the races on Malleus unique to it or are they just templates the Old Ones dropped on every world they visited?
5.Is the time loop affecting Malleus Galaxy scale or just limited to it? Because if it's not limited to it we have literally the entire galaxy's fate in our hands.
6.And is humanity in this quest the current one as in an incomplete creation of the Old Ones that were forced to stop working on it when Chaos came or the older one that evolved on Malleus itself and was there before the Old Ones came and therefore is a "Child of Malleus" as opposed to the Elves, Dwarves and Lizardmen who are the "Children of the Old Ones" making it the Elder Race of Malleus with the only reason that the "Children of the Old Ones" have them beat in the civilization race is because they got uplifted by their creators?

1. Yes you can attempt to do that, just make sure that age of strife does not happen.

2. Wizards are born as wizards and not psykers, the ritual to split the power of the warp into the winds affected the entire multiverse of fantasy, so any species which has the potential can use the winds.

3. Oh yes there are, and you should totally visit them especially the death worlds.

4. A few races are unique to it like the dragons, others not so much (lizardmen, elves, etc).

5. The time loop does not affect just the galaxy, it affects the entire universe you are in.

6. Humanity evolved on Malleus itself, so yes they are one of the children of Terra Malleus.

Lovely... Worlds even Old Ones considered Death Worlds... WELP, who wants to know how many Galaxy or even Universe-scale threats we can rouse from them?

I would LOVE to see elves from two different worlds try to out do each other in being a dick, and our dwarves decrying dwarves from other planets that don't stick as close to tradition as them or spend centuries testing something like better firing cannons as some kind of Heretics

If we ever find an Old One report from the time of their arrival saying Humans are already here alongside I imagine Ogres, Giants and others it will be GLORIOUS rubbing the Elves and Dwarves faces in the fact that the races they consider "younger" (humanity) and savage barbarians (Ogres and Giants) were here LONG before them and it's in fact THEM that are younger. On that note what are the other races native to Malleus?
Edit: If Salem is a Fledgling God what are the Grimm, since they can't be her Daemons, magic constructs? Actually in her backstory (when that Djinni woman from the lamp tells it) Salem is shown entering the domain of the Dark God where it shows Grimm already there, did falling into the well of Darkness after being cursed with immortality by the Light God cause her to absorb a fragment of Dark Gods essence thus granting her control over his creations/daemons?

There are many questions, but they would only be answered if you go to the RWBY multiverse.

whelp looking at the map, were going to have a hell of a time burning that woods down in Artois...hopefully it doesnt hit OUR province. Then again Doom-fire dragons and fire dragons can control flames, so they can do fire-management.

[X] Plan: Fire, Magic, and Death
-[X]Cast Call of Vanhel on our undead forces before the battle and cast Bironas timewarp on our dragons.
-[X]Burn the forest with dragons to snuff the Beastmen out, kill whatever remains of them with your Forces. Cast hands of Karkoa to assist in cleaning up all the stragglers.
-[X]Demand surrender from the Army of Artois and if he refuses meet his army with yours. Try to break their Morale by having your Dragon Knights and yourself take out the Grail Knights as quickly as possible. Spare anyone who surrenders be they Noble or Peasant.
-[X] Heal the peasants who surrender after the battle is over.

Basically fire and death but I added us using spells. We are already going to crush them but there is no reason to not use spells to lower any casualties we have. Also added to heal the peasants who surrender because I think it would help our image. I also added to demand the surrender of the human army before we slaughter them.

what are our storm dragons doing? they could do concentrated lighting strikes against any Bray Shamans or warbands that come out of the wood-work, have them aim directly at any of the shaman leaders, not to mention we go ALL the buff spells that our wizards and necromancers know.

also if the knights and grail knights don't surrender, well we can have our Dragon lords proceed to beat them to a pulp armed with some buff spells, after all if the lady can grant her boys magical wards, we can do BETTER...

also we need to beat the leader of the army in single combat and utterly dominate the fight. Be a bit showy that we have the entire thing in hand, (its essentially telling him he NEVER had a chance to begin with, as well as prove that the lady cant help them win.)

edited: we really should take the north then start driving south...then again by that point our undead numbers would have swollen to at least a billion in strength. That alone should TERRIFY any mortal province to surrender. Of course we then proceed to raise all the other dead in bretonnia, and then once we have secured the loyalty of the entire peasentry (we can allow them to worship other gods, its mostly this is our turf...and if the gods understand this we let them in as a sign of trust. if they break it we unleash total HELL.)

hey @Alucard Vampiry will you be using this kind of Daemon Power measurement standard?

minor daemon (think nurglites, chaos furies, ect.)
Lesser Daemons (unamed)
Lesser Daemons (Named)
Greater Daemon (unnamed)
Greater Daemon (Named)
Greater Daemon-Revered (unnamed)
Greater Daemon-Revered (Unnamed)
Greater Daemon-Honored-(unnamed)
Greater Daemon-Honored-(named)
Greater Daemon-Exalted-(unnamed)
Greater Daemon-Exalted-(named)

Primordial Daemons-(greater and lesser, usually these two are ridiculously strong, or highly skilled, sometimes even both. These are the PERSONAL champions of their patron god and exalt all their best qualities *or worst* as if they were the sheer living avatar of the god in question.)
Daemon prince/ess-(Varies base on personal achievements and history...as well as how liked they are by their patron.)
Daemon Herald-(honestly varies but generally are weaker then Greater Daemons...)

Named versus Unnamed:
Named Daemons are those that have enough sheer history, stories, and achievements that it resonates throughout the warp, they stand out exclusively and honestly have equipment, wards, and abilities that are either earned through hard work, given by their patron, or stolen from their rivals. These beings are those that can bring Hope to inspire greater feats of glory in the name of their patrons worshippers or bring total ruin to their patrons foes. A Named Greater Daemon is ALWASY stronger, faster, and generally more intelligent then a Unnamed Greater Daemon. These beings have fought countless battles in the warp and brought victory to their masters efforts. To become a Named Greater Daemon is to earn a "Name" that resounds in the warp, while not the entities true name, it does give a small hint to who and what they are.

After all, names have power, and by "earning" a name they become far stronger and yet also far more protected from those who would find their true name and thus have greater power over them.

This is basically how I divided the power system between the various daemons be they chaos or not

Well according to the lexicanum, and personal headcanon we have: The dragons and their sub-species, the dragon ogres, the ogres, the giants, and humanity, those who came after were either created by the old ones (lizardmen, elves, dwarves, etc), mutated by chaos (beastmen, skaven, etc), or are xenos (orks).
