I'm sure legendary chaos space marines that can control reality don't have the ability to shoot satellites down.
(Survey satellites would be good to track the movements of the hordes of demons tho. And increase crop yields, duh. Satellites are mad useful for info gathering)

That should be all for now, I remember there being 6 too
I am half certain a fleet will find their way here when the time comes...

That make me wonder, @uri , does okerteru know about travel times and such, if a chaos fleet came out way, would he be able to give us head start decades before it arrived, or does warp drive backed by gods travel too fast.

If one came Kuvara would be able to feel it before it came out of warp and give you some time to react.
 
An hour, it's a warning not a prophecy.
Damm, they move fast, I hoped they will take years to travel through the warp (in places she could see).

I am half tempted to stop scrying for their forces (to focus on other stuff to scry) and just assume chaos is doing everything, either way, some space defences wouldn't be so bad, if they send nothing, we still have orbital superiority.

Focusing on anti psykers feng shui is also a pretty good start against stopping Magnus from snapping in fingers and killing everyone on the planet (and we need a way to do it without keeping it up for decades).

Thinking of other major advantages they have, memetic hazards and biological warfare seem like the biggest ones.

There is also their technology superiority with their tech primarch, can feng shui counter tech? Like making it innately break down Dresden files style? Can we set different feng shui at different places? Like have major cities with anti warp feng shui, but having places set for cultivators free of the effect?

I really hope the eldar took the massage Okerteru sent them to come over and help us, hell, who knows, maybe they have secrets to keep Kuvara safe, they managed to keep two gods and one unborn god safe after all.

could Kuvara and her Daeva attack them in the Warp? She's at her strongest there after all.

In fact Kuvara should be significantly stronger than Shikatu in the Warp (V high vs V low, and she'll only get stronger as she gets more prayers and fortifies more).

She might be able to damage the ships, maybe to kill some of them...

It does take years but the warp is a huge place, so unless you know where people are coming from its hard to find someone in particular.

Yes, You'll have the option to assault the breaches from the warp side with her and her deva. and if you find ships an assault could be attempted.
 
well, one more reason to continue building up Kuvara and her Warp-forces.

mh... now I wonder... would Kuvara be able to do anything against the "Shadow of the Warp" phenomena, if/when we end up facing Tyranids? Something to consider later on. Feng Shui might also help there.
 
We probably need a solution to them just dropping a cyclone torpedo or virus bomb and destroying the planet, I don't really see a reason why they wouldn't if they want us dead so much, just send one through the portal and detonate it immediately.

Damm, there are so many ways in which they can kill us that I struggle to imagine how we win even going all in on exotic advancements and spending absolutely everything we have, hopefully the necron tomb has some good stuff, but I am not even sure fully equipping all our cultivators at top tier necron weapons will be enough with so many potential vectors of attack, we should probably send generational womb ships just in case, nit sure we will get advanced enough in time though, or have enough industry to send many living people in such a ship, and not rely mostly on AI and genetic material to make tube babies after it finds a planet.

There are a few options that would be presented in time, would be really anticlimactic if they just pushed a bombe through and killed you all.
 
By the way I think the Necron Equipment should probably be first of all for our BLANKS rather than our Cultivators.

After all they might very well be our best chance. They'd be supremely effective against the warp daemons after all, and against the psykers too (and I think all Chaos Marines count as psykers, right?)

We will likely be fighting thousand sons, so those will be psykers, and their disease might mean blanks will be extra effective on them (they are basically mindless chaos mummies), the other space Marines though? Those will tear our blanks apart, they will probably be the most effective units on blanks for the chaos side.

Blanks might have better odds against demons than one might think (they are most effective against such beings, so much that sisters of silence managed to fight named greater demons one on one, we don't have pariahs, but Blanks is the next best thing), I suspect we will mostly use blanks against Tzeench's forces, their immunity to divination and all around effectiveness against psychic powers make them theoretically the best counter.

But they are still pretty weak blanks, and have mortal bodies, unlike the cybernetically enhanced warriors of the imperium, they will need to rely on stealth to get close, and killing a sorcerer might be a suicide mission if their hiding ability isn't strong enough, and the enemy got enough space Marines to keep their valuable sorcerers under guard, and against space marine, a blank is just a keku, and would likely be shot down from the sky with the same ease in which a second step can bring down a mortal keku.

@uri, can our divine qi flight insight to take others at our speed effect blanks?

*Edit:Formations can be a one person thing, but can definitely have more people for stability and power.*

The fact they're fragile means that if we can find some kind of armor tech in the nechron pyramid they'd benefit from it the most.

Beside that, we could try to improve them with mutations? We might not be able to apply them directly, but we can probably use genetic engineering technology to copy mutations we create in other Keku?

Probably, there are probably a bunch of low hanging fruits we can reach early, question is if we want to start on mutating ourselves or others.

I suspect ourselves is still the best option, because we also got passive of making mutations on us more likely to be beneficial, which would likely build on the omake reward, and it is entirely possible the mutations we get are good for others too (might also be useless, qi adapt body isn't likely to mean much for blanks).

Yes, at least somewhat, a really strong one would nullify it and some would lower the amount of people you could carry with you but the one you currently have don't effect it.

You're getting some this turn.

You are at the point that large scale gene editing is more of a problem of equipment that can scale and enough specialists.

So, editing a dozen or so Keku is well within your grasp

I meant using it to empower the blanks, allow them to go faster.

Maybe buy that blank gun the imperium use (basically a gun that concentrate their energy to fire in a blast) if Okerteru has it, and than we can carry a few mobile anti warp weapons with us, which would be pretty valuable if we want to try and tackle Magnus early in the invasion to stop him from doing stuff like mind controlling the entire planet (although I hope anti psykers feng shui will at least somewhat counter those kind of wide scale psychic powers).

I think there's a risk of negative mutations though, so risking it on us might be a bad idea.

Can we test on others, and then REPEAT IT on us, or is the result unpredictable each time?

This should go on the military expansion action list, then. A Super-Soldier program makes a lot of sense in our context, and if we can get mutations that are beneficial for cultivators... every little bit helps.

Not really, the reason it takes aps is to avoid that.

More chance of good mutations probably translate to just a rolling boost.

I think unpredictable, But I suspect we can use science to copy the effects.

Same answer, you could use it on all but the strongest of blanks (which you don't have).

The power is entirely random (bar effects that influence it one way or the other).

Your medical knowledge and healing power is high enough that it won't take much work to get rid of negative mutations.

The option is already penciled in.

What happens if "cybernetically implant" (read, make a tiny hole that connect in an otherwise useless cable) a keku with a a really massive gun, like making an armoured box, slap on it the biggest gun we could, and than connect it to a keku who is inside it, does the insight make it fly with them?

The insight can take a tank with you, so yes. (well no, you need it to actually be ridden or wielded by a keku for it to work but you get the point)

So we can probably use, get some exotic tech for mass produced incredibly durable material, some massive railgun, and even a mortal could drive a gun the size of a building with ammo at supersonic speeds.

What are the limits on how long it lasts and range they can go from us?

I wonder if we can go even bigger, build hellcarriers like that one in marvel, that could be a massive strategic advantage to match their advanced technology, if it could work, we don't even need it to be an actual ship, just take a massive fortress, have Keku wield it and we got magical flying fortress to quickly move stuff, acting as something better than a hell carrier.
 
The only limitation is how much divine Qi you're willing to spend.

Also, the object moved do need to be capable of movement if they aren't carried but that not that hard of a condition to achieve.
How much will moving something the size of a hellcarrier for a week take (if it is relevant for cultivation scale divine qi)? And does landing and not using it allow you to keep the charge for later? Like we charge a ship with a week and than go off and they just sparingly use it to move briefly for months?
