-2x Hercules-Class Battleships
-2x Virgo-Class Fleet Carriers
-1x Tears of the Void Battlebarge
-16x Phoenix-Class Arc Cruisers
-17x Lepus-Class Grand Cruisers
-5x Aquarius-Class Fleet Tenders/Pathfinders
-4x Thunderous Gunnery class Heavy Cruisers
The Last Word (exterminatus temple-ship)
The Pantagruel (Divine Drop temple-ship)
The Divine Spark (Anti-chaos buffs)
-5x Pegasus Lance Cruiser
This gives enough room for 28 companies of Lamenters (Tears of the Void + the 4 Thunderous Gunnery heavy cruisers).
Though I'm not sure about using the Lepus- the Nurgle cult loves using AOE miasma that decays stuff and eats away at ships and presumably physical projectiles like missiles, hence why the Duchy wanted lance ships for the designs.
I'm thinking we should increase the number of Arc Cruisers instead.
I'd prefer to add the Eternal Cry-Class Temple Ship instead of the Thunderous Gunnery heavy cruisers. Just as many Companies of Space Marine Goodness, heavier ship package that's better against Chaos (b/c Temple Ship). I also don't want to take more of their ships because this is already taking about 2/3 of the chapter, and if we take more hen we risk them all dying out... again. Inevitably they'll take the brunt of the casualties here, so I'd prefer to take less than their full strength along for this suicide-run.
Anyway, here's my list:
[] Plan: Heavy Tonnage for a Heavy Mission
-[] 2x Hercules-Class Battleships
-[] 2x Virgo-Class Fleet Carriers
-[] 1x Tears of the Void Battlebarge (20 companies of Lamenters)
-[] 1x Eternal Cry-Class Temple Ship (8 Companies of Lamenters)
-[] 1x The Last Word (exterminatus temple-ship)
-[] 1x The Pantagruel (Divine Drop temple-ship)
-[] 1x The Divine Spark (Anti-chaos buffs)
-[] 16x Phoenix-Class Arc Cruisers
-[] 17x Lepus-Class Grand Cruisers
-[] 5x Aquarius-Class Fleet Tenders/Pathfinders
-[] 3x Cancer-Class Assault Cruisers
-[] 5x Pegasus Long-range Lance Cruiser
5 Battleships, 4 temple ships, 38 grand cruisers, 8 heavy cruisers. 55 ships total. I don't really expect the Lepus or the Cancer's to come back, but their job is really to be the frontline while our other ships kill shit. It's honestly likely we lose one of the Hercs, but I'm hoping the Battlebarge comes back.
Also - I just remembered we have the Hydrus rad-cruiser, but that's probably a little small for this. @HeroCooky is rad-stuff extremely effective against Nurglenid ships? We should know this based on the performance of LRADs.
Anyway, alternate plan for longer-range. Stripping out the Lepus & the Cancers & replacing them with Phoenix & Pegasus respectively, giving us very good long-ranged firebase to complement the Aeldari strategies.

We should really think about making a bunch more temple ships. They're force multipliers. We've got the force, let's multiply it.
We need something to stop Nurgle from just "lolnoping" our efforts, Drop of Divinity is the only thing we've got that can contest a God just lolnoping our efforts. Nurgle in particular is extremely aggressive when it comes to defending his turf, where he'll just pay the entire expense of "Suddenly your planet becomes a Daemonworld for no reason" because they discovered a Panacea STC Schematic out of pocket.
Though as I've said a few times, the "Great Game" is bullshit, since it doesn't matter what Ls any given Chaos God takes, the other Chaos Gods will always ease up on them until they're back up to full strength again. They are functionally a single faction that pretends to be four that are at odds, and the only thing they all have in common is that they want to wreck everything that doesn't buy in to the "Lol nothing matters so fuck you all get mine" dogma they champion.
Did she think that the Federation's Celestial Choir was the only redeeming feature of her people and the only reason they held despite all the evidence for the bravery and heroism of her people?
It says something that even the most arrogant and racist of Aeldari have to concede that the Choirs are impressive. We may only have one thing that's on par with the Elder Races… but that's more than a lot of other polity.
While it would suck to lose it, our backs are up against the wall thanks to that damn ship printer that Nurgle cultists created. Sacrifices are going to have to be made.
Also, we can always design and build more Temple Ships. We should build a lot more of them honestly.

Placeholder vote.
@HeroCooky how effective are missiles against the Nurgle cult? Does the area of effect fields of decay/damage that the Nurgle cult can utilize limit the effect of missile armaments or do the missiles move too quickly for the effect to decay them into uselessness?
Can we refit the ships before we send them. Strip out some stuff like luxury quarters and replace it with more weapons and all. Sounds like massive firepower will be needed here rather than comfort. Especially since it's supposed to be short.
@Neablis it seems like lance ships or plasma macro brawlers all the way for fighting against the Nurgle cult. Missiles are not very effective and rad lances are outright counterproductive.
Sure. How much time are you thinking to give to the exponentially increasing Maggot Ship Production that's been running for a year and is already giving you trouble?

That just suggests that the long-range plan is the best one.
There aren't any rad-lances here, the main armament is 132x range-buffed Green Arc Cannons & 66 green arc lances (on the Phoenix's), 10x Ultra-Heavy Rotary Plasma Macrocannons (on the Hercules), 8x Tetratek ARc-Carronade, 32x Super-Large Lance Turrets (on the Pegasai), then like a few hundred light lances, light macrocannons and about 2000 voidcraft from the Virgo's. And 1 holy lance powerful enough to blow up a planet on The Last Word.

Honestly most of our firepower here is necron weapons. Which... should be good against the tyranids/nurgle shit.

To those capable of seeing and feeling the Warp, hearing its Songs and Chants, tasting its fury and fire, and knowing the depths beyond depths that dwelled beyond the reach of even the Four themselves, it was like a wave of fetid humid air wafting across their every sense, leaving behind a feeling of unending outrage, maggot-infested slime, grandfatherly disappointment, and rotting intestines slathered over nails feasted upon by fungus.
Planet after planet, system after system, Sub-Sector after Sub-Sector, had it's Choirs and Hymnals and hopefuls fall silent as they were assaulted by this wave, rallying their might and training to withstand the powers infested in the Warp whose ripples were crashing upon their mental shores...before they went to work trying to decipher what had happened.
They didn't have to search for long, for where a Sub-Sector once was...where a system with a Daemonworld once stood...
A Warp Storm now resided.
One of Rot and Life.
Of Pestilence and Resilience.
Of Decay and Acceptance.
The world of Festerspire was no more, alongside the system and Sub-Sector it had been within, all connections in the Warp severed to its systems, and all souls within likely, and hopefully, destroyed the moment the Warp Storm descended unto its new home.
Admiral Schaefa Hansenforn had words with Princess El'aliar, an exchange that was, for the sake of maintaining diplomatic relations, redacted from all records but ended with Admiral Schaefa accepting the explanation of Princess El'aliar with grinding teeth and spiked blood pressure; that the Task Force sent to destroy Festerspire had not been obliterated.
"Merely" lost in the Warp for a few years.
Merely lost in the Warp.
Merely.
Lost.
She had said it like one would discuss displacing some rarely-used keys or a toy of minor interest.
Once again, the planetoid-sized ship saved the Eldar from being asked several pointed questions at fleet point by Admirals with minds on their fleets' triggers and crews ready for combat.
It was then, perhaps, for the best that said ship with its attendant fleet began to journey toward the Symphony frontlines, intending to destroy as many of their ships as possible, citing that "the dance with the Maggots has come to an end. But the duet with the Fallen Jester is only beginning."
Why the Princess wore a jester's outfit in the farewell communication while saying the above is anyone's guess.

That ability...it is to vast to speculate about. -[] Anti-Psychic Materials (0/7)

The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.

(Write-In the problem being addressed.)
TLDR: Nurgle big angy. Make big stink. Lamenters ain't happy, but they are used to fighting through endless hordes of daemons in the Warp to realspace once more.
So, was the call of the Temple Ships a good one there, since it prevented Nurgle from just undoing the strike? And the best he could do was isolate our fleet for a while because we protected it too well for him to just pull bullshit out to steal our fleet or just destroy it outright afterwards?
