If I may suggest something, I think it would be a good idea to try and focus on crippling the ship's guns.

If they have them then they can blast through district walls and crap which we don't want.
 
@Durin, do we have any plagues comparable to the Blacklight virus from Prototype? If so, would it be its own action to deploy it or would it be assumed we're deploying it if we initiate biowarfare protocols?

Why we've got incredibly powerful and precise scanners and targeting technology.

@Durin
1. Any rumblings from Avernus that we can detect?
2. Can we target the ship's guns with our cities defences without using a divination choir, just using our scanners ect.?
3. Which is better to render the ships metal boxes which can't shoot, or to destroy as many as we can before they land?
4. I don't remember if I asked this, but will other cities defences be getting in on shooting the ships?
5. Do we think we could sneak in another round of death strikes? Maybe when their ships impact?

[] Plan Minimal Targets
-[] Attempt to deflect incoming warships (requires divinatory support- This will hopefully defect some of the warships so they either miss Dis or even land on top of each other, reducing the number of breaches you have to deal with.
-[] Deploy at a long distance- This will ensure that your forces can get to the Battleship well after they land, giving the emeny room to expand but ensure that none of your men are killed by the landing.
-[] Rely on a mix of Militia and Regulars- This force should be able to handle the enemy stormtroopers and slow down Astartes and Sisters. This will not stretch your reserves at all.
-[] Deploy half your elites to the field and keep half in reserve. -This will leave you with a significant reserve force of elites while reinforcing your main combat zones.
-[] Psykers
--[] Trolls will continue reinforcing Dis to minimize damage.
--[] Both Telekinetic Choirs to reinforce the Void Shields over Dis to reduce damage.
--[] Both Daemonology Choirs on full counterspelling.
--[] Ridcully and Both Diviner Choirs supporting the Deflection of the warships.
--[] Both Biomancer Choirs to support Troops.
--[] Tamia, both Telepath Choirs and Sirens on Counter-telepathy.
--[] Xavier and Pyromancy Choirs to act alongside fire support.
-[] Other
--[] Quarantine and initiate Chem & Bio weapon protocols in the districts where the Abomination Crashland.

Time's on our side. Trade space for time, whittle them down.

[] Plan Unwelcome Reception
-[] Attempt to inflict as much damage on the warships as possible

-[] Rely on Helltroopers
-[] Deploy all your elites to the field to prevent enemy breaches.
-[] Psykers
--[] Biomancers to buff our troops.
--[] Xavier and Pyromancers to kill enemies resistant to mundane damage.
--[] Telekines to support our troops.
--[] Telepaths, Sirens, and Tamia to defend against enemy telepathy.
--[] 1st Diviner Choir and Ridcully to divine for ship landing points for first half of the turn. Rest for the second half. Trap the locations.
--[] Daemonologists and Lulana to dispel.
--[] Primaris Execution Forces to crush concentrated attacks
--[] Trolls to continue strengthening Dis in preparation for the Crashlanding.
-[] Other
--[] Lend the the Black Crystal Necklace to Tamia and all other Black Crystal Jewellery to Xavier.
--[] Initiate rad, chem, and bio warfare protocols in the districts where the ships land.
--[] Electronic warfare on enemy communication.
--[] If we succeed so much that the point where they decide to summon the First Circle is too close, pull back our troops a bit and allow them to advance.

@Durin, are there any problems with this plan?

You're forgetting about Lulana, the Sirens, and the Primaris Execution Forces. If you want them fresh for next turn, have them active for half a turn.

Don't forget about electronic warfare protocols and black crystal jewellery.

Time is not on our side with your plan. Your plan will result in ships being deflected, making it unlikely their plan will succeed. If they think their plan is unlikely to succeed, they will begin summoning the First Circle. Letting them land and slowly, painfully advance will make them think they'll succeed even if they actually can't.

Are you actually asking to be hit by the Changeling's biological brother?

With even better CQC capability?

Why?

I'd like to think it's more Legienstrasse than the Changeling (note: Legienstrasse is pretty much canon 40k Alex Mercer).

But yes. Because it's been centuries since we've last seriously been threatened by Avernus. In this story, I want to read about an actual Avernite enemy we have to fight rather than just "you lost X million troops to attrition" every single turn. Also because I'd like to imagine a non-human Avernite army scaled for 40k tabletop battles.
