[X] Plan: Purge with Fire & Light
- [X] [Light Cavalry] Pairs of
Inferno Pistols,
- [X] [Heavy Cavalry]
Hot Shot Volley guns
- [X] [Infantry]
Hotshot Marksman Rifle
- [X] [Other Gear] Helmet integrated versions of the
Omnispex, if possible, miniaturised
Vox casters in their helmets, Skitarii War Plate,
Cameleoline Cloaks for the infantry, Chrono (watches), built into helmet HUDs if possible,
Signums for unit leaders to coordinate thieir units. As side arms, give people as many power weapons, ideally bayonets for people for infantry, swords and lances for the cavalry, and
Personal Energy Shields as you can find in case they're forced into melee.
- [X] Preparation: Fan uses Sorcery to raise another intense sandstorm to hide the direction of our armies' approach and hopefully hinder the enemy, being ready to counter attempts to use Weather Control to blow the sandstorm away or similar. Use Willpower and CCC to boost the casting. To do this he should advance ahead of our army to get in sight of the enemy and their sorcerers as soon as possible so he can use Shadow Spite Curse against any rituals, whether counter-magic, divination, or anything else, while remaining hidden. Lorgar uses Precognition + Telepathy (to sense the location of the minds of the enemy army and any patrols they have as pickets) to guide the army on a path that makes us less likely to be detected and end up on top of a set of dunes overlooking the chaos army so we can shoot at any targets within it over the heads of people in between us..
-[X] Once we arrive our long ranged forces initially focus their fire on killing the enemy sorcerers, then switch to the war machines, then the enemy cavalry's mounts.
- [X] Aided by the sandstorm and Cameleoline cloaks, our infantry should keep redeploying to try to avoid the chaos forces in between shooting at them.
- [X] Our heavy cavalry should keep moving and prioritise shooting their powerful fast firing machine gun equivalents at concentrations of enemy forces or groups that are advancing too close to our troops.
- [X] Our light cavalry should mostly stay in reserve on the other side of the ridge line of the dunes ready to dart in and out to destroy groups or individual chaos warriors hardy enough to weather that storm of fire which their Infernus pistols.
- [X] The Ambulls should tunnel through the dune to a position beneath the surface in front of our infantry. If any Chaos Warriors are in danger of engaging our infantry in melee (or if our cavalry is pursued and baits the enemy into position) the Ambulls should ambush them from below on Lorgar's telepathic command.
- [X] During the battle, Fan should use his elevated position to use Shadow Spite Curse on any Sorcerers he sees leading rituals or any effective leaders issuing commands. As a secondary priority he should counter-spell defensive magic or temporary blessings the sorcerers have applied to the enemy army. As a tertiary priority he should use a lascannon he has plugged into his armour to shoot war machines or super-heavy Chaos infantry
- [X] During the battle, Lorgar should try to use a combination of telepathy and precognition to network the army together and feed our troops inspiration, orders, warnings of danger and guidance for targeting based on what he can perceive and foresee. If he can do both simultaneously, do so throughout the battle, but if he can't, wait until the enemy morale starts to waver then switch to using Telepathy + Gaslighting try to push them over the edge and break their faith in the Chaos Gods and then try to encourage them to defect to us. If he can use weapons as well as lead and guide the army, he should carry a heavy weapon like a multi laser, a more powerful hot shot variant if that's possible, and use it on concentrations of enemy troops.
- [X] Dharok should start the battle with the best energy based sniper rifle that the Archmagos can provide to take out high value targets. Later if enemy champions survive long enough to get close to our troops, he should challenge them while wearing power armour. If the enemy does manage to engage any of our warriors in melee Dharok should intervene in melee alongside the Ambulls to try to disrupt the enemy long enough for our people to disengage, and then fire back into the part of the enemy unit that's not directly engaging Dharok. If the enemy starts to waver Dharok should directly seek out and challenge enemy champions (with his power armour on) to support Lorgar's Gaslighting. Given Dharok's Willpower recovery Mythos power, he should use Willpower freely.
- [X] If the enemy army doesn't break or enough of it defect, when they get organised enough to get enough troops close enough to present a real threat of us being swamped our infantry should withdraw first while our heavy cavalry and heroes lay down covering fire and then pull back in turn.
