[X] Harry. While you have a large fleet, Orks are nothing if not numerous, which often extends to their ships. Send the detachment to harry them, but avoid getting caught up in a prolonged fight. Limits detachment to 25% of total fleet. Fleet will focus on causing casualties over slowing Orks.
-[X] 10 Cruisers and 30 Escorts to the harassment lines
-[X] 4 Dreadnoughts, 45 Cruisers, and 120 Escorts to the main defense

[X] Mines. While they can't attack, they're a lot more numerous, and a lot harder to detect and destroy before they can do much damage.
-[X] Split. Split them between the two worlds.

[X] Orbital Platforms. While they're easier to detect and shoot down, they're able to direct their attacks to specific targets.
-[X] At Therog. Put most or all of the platforms around Therog.

Mines are a surprise defense. Once they know they're there they won't be as effective. All in with the mines on that first surprise out at Therog II.

theoretically can't we super long range bombard their future location by using divination to see their projected flight path and calculating for kinetic weapon speed to intersect their physical location at that future point in time @ilbgar123 ?

  • [X] Send the whole fleet to intercept the Ork fleet well before it reaches Therog, and have them engage in a running skirmish battle with the enemy, trying to whittle them down over time while using superior agility to maintain the distance as you please. If your Dreadnoughts are too slow to pull this off, leave them around Therog.

One thing this reinforces to me is how, despite how far we've come, how far we have left to go. Us, and our psykers and our Eldar allies.

A 40K Farseer would know how many orks there were, what their fleet composition was, what the character of the leadership was, as well as the probability distribution of their emergence points.

It's actually nice to see how much more potential Serras has.

It would kill all fungus in range. Something that would be annoying to fix but doable.

Cool, what about that affecting all biological substances other than orks.

better to kill all fungus than all biomass period, much easier to replace than damaged industry/units/planets, will make a good anti tyranid measure in the future when whole planet literally disintegrates dead biomass and preventing tyranid production and recycling.
 
I also want to prepare when the Tyranids attack us. I want those bastards eliminated, I do not want that super large organism that can swallow our entire galaxy to be a thing.
 
This is an idea I saw in a different Warhammer quest, where during one of the fleet battles they hid some of their torpedo/missile heavy ships (don't know classes that well) inside an asteroid field with minimal power (just life support). When the Orks got in range the PC had a psyker send the message to re-activate the ships and hit them from behind. This feasible?

Yes.
 
Could we locate the fleets exit while they're still in the warp thanks to our eldar farseers
And if yes could possibly send mines at them while in the warp
If yes to both could the mines take out a gellar fields and possibly sic daemons on them

Currently they're just seer since they don't have the Paths figured out, but yes. Mines are just explosives at present. Orks don't use Gellar fields.
