Ka'Bandha now supported by nine other Bloodthirsters and their attendant Legions, drawn from other worlds, and it is highly likely that more Bloodthirsters will be drawn to the center of the fighting now that you are confirmed to be here.
Interesting. Trying to get the best prize before we arrive? Anticipating we will inevitably go there eventually?

The Sensei are pretty different from the Primarchs. It's don't think that Pandora and Sanguinius really consider each other siblings.
Sanguinius considered sharing genetics to be sufficient to be family. Ergo, they are siblings.
 
Hmm, what is a Primarch anyway, in relation to a Sensei? Extra organs? Power stolen from the Realm of Chaos?

Perhaps the Emperor made the Primarchs because his previous children either left him, died, or were subsumed into the Warp? Speaking of, what is his true name, and did he ever have peers?

Why on earth would we be told the true name of the Emperor if Pandora didn't know it?

Sensei are just special humans that got lucky in the genes department. Primarchs are Warp crafted beings born from genetic and Warp manipulation so finely as to produce exemplars that can do the impossible.

And even then, I'd argue it doesn't matter all that much if they're all that necessary level of nuts. When puritan inquisitors say destroy a cult, but their methods piss people off who later go on to create or join new cults at best its just a net null for the imperium and kicks the can down the road. Its just the inquisitions status quo and one that they refuse to change despite all evidence saying tis the bad move.
Here's the thing: I agree with this completely. The Inquisition is absolutely dysfunctional on the whole, much like, y'know, the entire rest of the Imperium. The point I'm making is that the Inquisition being dysfunctional as an institution is not predicated on a majority (much less a supermajority) of its members being personally crazy. The Inquisition is dysfunctional as an institution because the Inquisition is institutionally dysfunctional, if you'll excuse the tautology. I feel it's an important distinction to make because if you imagine that the core of the issue with the Inquisition is that 90% of everyone in it is crazy, then that's fundamentally a personnel issue. But if you conceptualize the core of the issue with the Inquisition as a problem with the institutional structuring of it, then that centers the conversation on institutional-level reform which is where I think it needs to be.
I'm well aware, its that deliberate self sabotage that makes me take such a dim view of trying to reform the imperium in the first place.
That seems quite backwards to me, honestly. It's that deliberate self-sabotage (among rather a number of other things, to be fair) that makes reform of the Imperium so desperately necessary.
As for the inquisition specifically I demand mandatory therapy and breaks for all inquisitors, mental health is not for ****ing around with.
Yes this please actually.
I know and the irony of them having an ordo dedicated specifically to watching the assassins, but lacking an order to watch themselves should both surprise no one, nor should Pandora let the irony be lost on them.
The Inquisition doesn't have a dedicated ordo for watching the Inquisition, because the fundamental premise of the Inquisition's structure is that the Inquisitors who should be keeping an eye on other Inquisitors are every Inquisitor. That's not a defense of the Inquisition because that's basically a setup that is the deathknell of any effective large-scale collaboration within the institution, but the issue with the Inquisition is most certainly not a lack of self-directed paranoia.

More generally, you're making a great deal of sweeping statements about the character of 90% of all Inquisitors that I don't feel are really sufficiently supported. Fundamentally, I want to center the conversation re: the Inquisition on "where are the structural failings of the Inquisition, and what would be a good system of reform to address those failings" rather than on "man Inquisitors sure are all crazy huh." Particularly when the latter sentiment still seems rather more meme-generated than anything else tbh. Dysfunctionality does not require madness, and assuming it does is a good way to skate past the reality that people can be perfectly individually rational and still be institutionally complicit in a dysfunctional system. And when you fail to acknowledge that reality, that's the first step on the road to assuming that anybody who's opposed to you must just be crazy, which is not historically a fruitful and productive path to travel.

Anyway, the vote's open now, so:

[X][LEVIATHAN] The Forge World of Antioch

[X][POSTURE] Call upon your Deva and direct them to the most important battlefields.

I've already made my arguments for these, so I don't think I have much new to add at this juncture.
 
[X][LEVIATHAN] The Forge World of Antioch

This is obvious choice in my mind we need those Shipyard for post war of Baal operations and with an additional Norn Queen entering the fight their in need of reinforcements the most in my eye. After them though we can swing on to the shrine world and see about making it harder for Demons to interfere with the fight.

[X][POSTURE] Call upon your Deva and direct them to the most important battlefields.

Here's a chance to step back and not draw more attention to whatever fight we're in and will allow us to provide help to other battlefields while the main Crusade Task Force fights for the Forge world. And as said will give other vital worlds more time for us to arrive to them fighting and not a barren and dead world.

I cannot believe that our personal intervention would equate to a net loss in the gains from intervening. I acknowledge the usefulness of the Deva-direction though, and won't really be upset if it wins, but I would encourage people to not be reluctant to engage personally.

If our personal intervention draws out more Khornate forces or special Tyranid countermeasures, there's a higher chance that the docks might get damaged in the fighting if the Daemonic reinforcements run wild in the orbital stations. Directing the Devas' interventions would likely be quite precise, allowing for targeted strikes near the docks with less risk of damage (perhaps in combination with Grey Knight interceptor squads to fight the Daemons?).

This is exactly why I at least don't want to get involved directly at Antioch my primary goal there is to gain those shipyards intact our direct intervention may cause an escalation of violence that could cause said shipyard to be damaged. And I want to see what our personal demons can do across the sector for us.
