We cannot really hide ourselves people are going to notice a huge warpstorm ending especially if it has been doing that for centuries

I think that is probably because most peaceable and decent species were wiped out early on in the age of strife. If they were humanities steadfast allies, they were probably a target for the Men of Iron during the rebellion and with a likely significant technological disadvantage against high DAoT tech they were probably genocided.
Many others may have been reliant on Warp FTL traded from humanity or else STL engines, confining them to isolated worlds during the warpstorms of the Age of Strife, leaving them to either forget about their alliance with humanity over the millennia or get wiped by the Chaos worshipping monsters who coukd still use FTL.

What that based on? Power rank, control rank, sanity rank, or some arcane mixture of all three?

this possibility makes me very happy, and make the dark templars very VERY angry. Doubt they've had a fun post Big E experience.

I am not sure, particularly given that the chance of her being at all sane is near zero
you would probably have had an option to kill her as soon as you found out her power rating

We could have declared her a reborn splinter of the Emperor and taken over the Trust.

I cant see them surviving thst long.
Shes essentially a war goddes thiugh with all that martial that translates into strategy. Hell I can imagine battles in the way that the 'Kingdoms manga' playing out where she goes full shonen and her assaukts are so much stronger simply because.

InB4 our bud Klovis drives a sword through our back.
This does make me wonder if the Emperor ever tried to be reborn only to get curbstomped by the Inquisition.

We are really good at evading swords to the back (Even DE couldn't get us) and the Inquisition is a lot less powerful than they were in the Imperium, though still more than I'd like them to be.
Worth remembering that this is only the opinion of a guy stuck using a very limited amount of Imperial era ships.
Out fleets are likely to have a much easier time winning gunfights than his did.

The Funeral
There were a good number in attendance for Broderick Dunten's funeral, as the charred corpse of the former Primaris who fell in the line of duty against chaos psykers was being burned. Just 5 years ago, that very man had gone through his trials and passed astoundingly, qualified as he was as a veteran from the get-go. Afrim Rhee's protege, mastering both Daemonology and Telekinesis, then displaying both the will and control over his powers that was demanded. Among the attendees was that very grieving sanctionite.
Too soon. Too soon. Why? Why did it have to end like this? He'd proved himself. He was worthy. Mastered his powers, mastered himself. Why? Why? Why did.. he have to die? So many years spent.. and he thought he made it, too. He even passed his trials sublimely! Qualified to such a degree as the first beta veteran specializing in Daemonology, his own favored discipline. The only student he could truly teach properly and.. now this. Death while fighting a pyromancer. His charred corpse just being cremated now. Just.. just like that. Another student gone.
Memories of his time with him came unbidden. 17 years ago, when a six-year old Beta was entrusted into his care at the Unseen University. Playful, delightful.. always eager to learn more. 11 years ago, when he discovered he quite liked aquatic creatures. Avernite ones were far too dangerous, so an aquarium (complete with fish and plants) was imported from Alfheim at quite some expense (Not that he used much of his income, anyhow). 8 years ago, when he was still struggling to master his powers, and confided in him his private worries and fears he wouldn't pass, after the trials of that year. 5 Years, when he promised him that he would continue feeding the fishes if he failed the trials, the day before the trials were to take place, and then his personal congratulations to him when he passed to the degree that he did.
He made himself go through the ceremony, and saw through the cremation. The boy deserved at least that much. He'd warded the urn for the ashes himself just days earlier. An offering of water lilies to keep him company, as he knew he would have wanted.
Sometimes he wondered if he would slip, lose control one day. His heart felt so heavy, so pained that it felt like dying.
He fed the fishes.

If you are a Space Marine boarding actions are always the best way to win a naval fight.

The difference is that we were totally expecting the DE to pull that move. I wouldn't be surprised if the Inquisition has infiltrated even the Governor's Own.

It was mentioned that Jane keeps finding Inquisitorial agents on Avernus (and lets them do their job). I'm pretty sure we'd know if they infiltrated our bodyguard.
The nice thing about upgrading Titans is they're modular. We can provide Helheim pattern weapons while keeping the holy old pattern chassis, MIU etc.
Where I would really like the Hyper Plasma Reactors is powering torpedoes if we can make them the right size. More power means more thrust means more range, shorter travel time, more delta v for course correction, shorter engagement envelope for point defense and interceptors, more evasion - in all a much better hit chance. And since the reactor doubles as a really powerful plasma bomb the actual payload can be a melta warhead for better armour penetration.

Spoken like a man who has never played Space Hulk. Boarding actions against Nids rarely end well.
Demon ships are also rather problematic to board, unless the Space Marines in question are Grey Knights.
No. No they are not. The fact that different versions exist is a very different thing than being modular. Leman Russ tanks are not modular just because replacing the turret turns it into a different variant. Land Raiders are not modular just because they all use the same chassis.
For something to be modular it has to be possible to swap weapons (or whatever) 'in the field' rather than having to bring it back to the factory to be partially disassembled and rebuilt.

I imagine Omakes for Sanctionites will speed this up.
(I'm not sure how much of a role, if any, my omakes have played in making Afrim Rhee, our one and only Beta Sanctionite promoted to Veteran. I like to think they played a substantial part.)
