A Different Breed (Warhammer 29K)

Only thing I dislike about [] Plan: United Front is that the sons get left behind.

Eh, I think the expertise of Meros would be just as useful for rapidly iterating and distributing anti-rot wards and tuning up whatever defenses against the Thirst their wards are already providing as it will be for developing Unwinding Protocols to baffle the Fateweaver.

I suspect that anything that interacts with the Curses in any way will have a huge amount of testing and simulation done to it first to make sure that it doesn't somehow back fire. It doesn't feel like a rapid prototyping or fail fast scenario.

The cohesiveness of "Bringing a Lord from each of our coalition worlds" outweighs a massive expansion of manpower and leaving no deputies behind to oversee things in our absence, I feel.

it's the end of the turn. any on long-term projects won't suffer do to their temporary absence, most of the things we started this turn have already been confirmed done in other updates. this imagined critical need for them to stay home and run things not only lacks justification, it goes contrary to all evidence that everything is sufficiently rapped up that they can leave things unattended.
 
Thinking about genre conceits, another advantage of bringing a bunch of hero rather than lord units with us is so that they can get up to shenanigans with their peers from other factions to have romances, rivalries, and go on adventures with.

Our Lords won't be doing that kind of thing, they have to be statesmanlike, but the seven sons can engage with and so learn about and befriend and build contacts at a less formal but still very important in the long term level.

The people they'll be dealing with are the heirs and potential future leaders, so it's good to take the opportunity to start building those social connections now.

And, also, I think that might include some fun scenes with a different tone both now and in future adventures we'd otherwise miss out on.

This is the first section that's likely to be character driven. Let's lean into that.

just to be clear, those voting to bring the Ishari High Priestess do understand that this will result in more pushback from the conservatives, potentially resulting in our attempt to get the curse acknowledged failing, not only freeing Beil-Tan to resume it's plan of kinslaying us, but also turn it's attention to fea-eresh, and imperil the souls of billions of Aeldari who might otherwise have been saved by the outcome of this Aeldmoot.

As i have responded with before. I dont care. The ishari are our allies. and I will see them given representation, we have been told by the QM not even all conservatives will hate us for it, to say nothing of the moderates, centrists, and other radicals.

Broadly, I plainly feel that the "look, there is a curse" is like, the least threatened vector of our actions at the Aeldmoot, Ishari or no Ishari.

And finally, we leave the Serpent at home. Because that's flagrant "Look at our luck" and "Look at our power" that'll be gauche, by rubbing the Past Glories in the face of everyone. Teddy Roosevelt said it back in the day. "Speak Softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." The point is doing our best not to shame others with our actions, but if someone flips out anyway, well, we have the stick for good reason.

I really just can't agree with this. it's a time of crisis in the aftermath of an apocalypse. the Serpent of the stars is a sign of strength to draw in those who need a strong patron to protect them, not a gauche flaunting of wealth and prestige.
