Valinor, or at least the Chaotic Worlds should be conquerable. At that point Big Sticking Threat #1 is dealt with.
 
Honestly a huge influence on the plans and how heavy we should fight depends on Muspelheim's Stealth Fleet in the Valinor systems and how the raid goes.
 
@Durin
1. I guess the story of her cutting up the Changling has been making the rounds in the warp? Cause that's the main way I can think of them knowing.


Hehehehe though the fact that we got the services of two paragons (Jacob and Lulana) before they turned up makes me very happy.

That reminds me

2. Do Jacob and Lulana get bonuses to fighting together?
3. If they do how significant is it?
4. Curiosity question, how significant/how much damage would we do to the abomination's efforts by beating this force? A whole chapter of astartes, several grand master sorcerors, a powerful general and a titan legion has to hurt.
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. It depends but average 50
4. Regionally a lot, in total not much
 
4. Astates, psykers, Lin, power armour hordes, jane
@Durin

1. What are their plans for dealing with Astartes, power armour hordes, and Jane?
2. If not harassment, what could we use Sir Pellinore for?
3. Void shields block conventional teleportation, but what about psyker-based teleportation like Gate of Infinity or Blink?
4. What would Xavier be capable of if we deathstar him? That is, if we load him out with the best wargear we have, buff him with psychic abilities like Iron Arm, Warp Speed, Improved Toughness, Prescience, Forewarning, Hammerhand, and Sanctuary, then round it all off with combat drugs and formic potions.

1. numbers and Titans for power armour, their own Astartes for yours and multiple chaos Lords for Jane
2. hunting deamon engines when it becomes possible
3. they make it harder
4. a lot but there is a good chance that being overcharged like that will cause significant long term damage to him

This is going to be a thing from now on isn't it? Chaos Lords and Aspiring Champions all gunning for Jane's soul as a tribute to the gods, all because the Changeling blabbed. What a nuisance. At least we now have confirmation that the thing survived.

Speaking of the Changeling...

@Durin:
1) Have we asked the Avernite natives about the "Forbidden Zone" that Tzeentch tried to get us to shoot?
1a) what kind of responses did we get from them?
2) Have we made absolutely clear to the natives that the local humans have no desire at all to destroy or harm Avernus, that any attempts to do so are by default Chaos plots?
3) How's Jane taking the fact that Chaos considers her a major threat?
4) Is Klovis-Ultan considering taking Jane into the Inquisition now?

Wait, Chaos actually considers her a threat on a notable scale compared to Lin?

...I may need to up some of the statlines on that sheet I made, damn.
 
@ArchAIngel, Jane has the ability to cut Warp effects, so maybe a chance to cancel any ability the enemy uses that has magic involved? I don't know, I don't play Fate.

I am currently stating out some units in the military google doc, I will hopefully finish fast enough to get an update up today but if not it will be up tomorrow
 
@Durin

1. Is there a Abomination variant of the Sisters of Battle in this Crusade present?
2. What would military leaders on the Avernus side consider the girls?
 
Hmmm

I want to have a fight between an Avernite Officer and a Preceptor...What would that be? What kind of blade do our guys use again?
