Actually IIRC I think Xavier and Tamia were supposed to be pyromancers/daemonolgists?... maybe I don't remember.

he is a Pyromancer/Illusionist, though demonology is his 3rd best discipline

Unsurprising seeing as he reverse engineered Blinking and phase, and is now able to phase blink.

Nope. Pyromancer/Telepath. Tamia was insecure specifically because they shared specialties but all of his feats outclassed hers.

I suppose it would be mentioned on their sheets if they are skilled or better?
For the sake of expediency and getting thing on the move, I'm gonna go ahead and post Elder Haman's draft plan as a plan. I'll make any changes he wants, but we should really get a move on.
[X] Plan Haman 1.0
[] Option Two: Escort your other air forces- This will allow your fighters to escort your other air forces as they carry out their duties, reducing the number of casulties they suffer from both Ork Fighter-Bombers and AA.
[] Bomber Option Two: Defensive Bombing- This involves coordinating bombing runs with the command of the cities under attack in order to help defend the walls, it will result in a decent number of casulties from Ork AA but should lower the pressure on your cities walls.
Anyone have better ideas here?
[] Salem Rok Option Three: Assault the Roks- One option would be to have your forces set up siege lines around the Roks to contain them while elite forces board and destroy the Roks one at a time. -While this is the fastest way to destroy the Roks it will result in your elites suffering casualties as they are forced to assault highly fortified positions, likely defended by Ork elites.
[] Other Rok Option Three: Assault the Roks- One option would be to have your forces set up siege lines around the Roks to contain them while elite forces board and destroy the Roks one at a time. -While this is the fastest way to destroy the Roks it will result in your elites suffering casualties as they are forced to assault highly fortified positions, likely defended by Ork elites.
Tend to feel that leaving the Roks inside the cities alone would be bad. Seems less costly to assault them, but I'm very open to a better idea.

Just reiterating that I'd really, really like to get the Varangian Guard chaplain out for the Garkill fight. Durin said we should have a minimum of three of the hero units from the list he gave in on it, and right now we actually only have two guaranteed (Fred and Surt are certain, with Xavier if he's still fresh after the Pyromancy stuff).

Are we sure we want to assault the roks as soon as possible? Because it seems to me that this invasion seems like its going to be reaching its climax soon with the trust fleet coming and Garkill coming down. So assuming we kill Garkill and murder his fleet like we plan the Roks are going to become alot less powerful with the infighting from the leaders defeat and no more teleporting reinforcements from Death's Harbinger allowing us to clear them alot easier.
Point. Just write out lines for that and tell me which sections to shove them in.
The Roks inside the cities are an extreme danger to the cities, and are a distraction against the attack on the outside.

It isn't so much of a complication than the fact that they allow bypass of a not-insignificant fraction of defences, and allow flanking.
The defence bonus of +200 in Salem equates to a quadrupling of relative effectiveness. That, and the 175:1 Casualty multiplier is extremely critical assets to not lose. Roks landing will probably degrade defence levels and inflict a lot of casualties. Probably more than Garkill, I'd suspect.

Sorry for being late with an update.
Wasn't feeling to good today, then my grandmother called and asked for some help and I spent pretty much all day on that. Just barely got back home, cooked some dinner, and decompressed a little.
This feels like it is far too aggressive. A lot of risk for not much gain.
I think we want her on Rok deflection duty at first.
1: Not sure if our void shields will be fully function, or if they will prevent Ork teleporters.
What do others think?
2: Pretty sure that there will be surprises in these Roks.
Can add that, though he is out leading the Avernus Spine harassment forces right now.
Could have sworn daemonology was listed as his second best specialty...
Huh... my mistake. Still he is pretty experienced at daemonology, and I think we need a boost there.
That's still over a week away. I don't think we can wait that long. Maybe we can approach it differently for the Casarrondo/The Fens attacks when we will have a better handle on it.
Paulson is leading the Everglades harassment forces and the regional commander. I don't recommend committing him to the Salem battle, as it would leave the Everglades without a commander.

[X] Load 500 of our Hercules dropships with large explosive charges, consider spare deathstrike plasma charges and melta shells.
-[X] Launch 250 these dropships from Salem and ram them into the sides of incoming Roks to assist in deflection. Use diviner guidance to time and place them as effectively as possible.
-[X] Launch 250 these dropships from Malea and ram them into the sides of incoming Roks to assist in deflection. Use diviner guidance to time and place them as effectively as possible.

Xavier (assuming he has the energy), Chaplain Horatius, Surt, and Rotbart (w/ Fire Giants and Governors Own) make up a kill squad focused on finding an opportunity to kill Garkill
Grandmaster Ridcully and his divination choir focus on finding Garkill and getting him killed
Tamia, the Songweavers, and the telepathic choir rest in preparation to encouraging massive internal disruption in the case of Garkill dying.
I'm assuming the daemonology choirs will be too tired to do anything more, but if they are available they focus on killing mid-tier Ork leaders (possibly in cooperation with the psyker teams). If needed, rest so that they can provide teleportation for the psykers choirs to other cities after Salem assualt is repulsed).
Primaris Hobbs and both pyromancy choirs continue pyromantic fire support for the troops.
Master Rana and the biomancy choirs assist in providing targeted enfeeblement of Orks and buffing human soldiers (goal is to identify key battles and buff the allies while enfeebling the Orks they are fighting).
Both telekinetic choirs provide spot defense as needed by the fighting soldiers
1 Choir (divination 2), Diviner (G) assist in task assignment for the pyromancers, biomancers, and telekinetics
[X] Beirut:
Launch 10 Deathstrike batteries at the forces approaching Beirut
Telepathic Choir (arriving from Dis) works to encourage infighting among the Ork, exploiting the killing of Ork leaders by Jane and the Psyker Hunters
[X] Malea:
Pyromancy choir with Primarus Rattary work to deflect Roks as they approach the city. Once Roks have stopped falling on Malea, transit south to Yphax and prepare to do the same thing.
Pyromancer (G) and Master Zhukov work with Psyker Regiments in supporting the assault on any Roks that land inside the city.
Launch 6.97 Deathstrike batteries at the forces approaching Malea immediately after the Roks land
[X] Yphax
Biomancy choirs should hit Orks in landing Roks with enfeeblement just as they crash land
[X] Lorien:
Continue battlefield preparations, such as preparing killing fields around Lorien by cutting down trees close to the walls, removing potential cover. Use the resulting logs to place piles of logs in strategic locations around Lorien, with explosives beneath them, allowing them to be triggered when the Orks are gathered around them all.
Notify Marshal Pope that he may need to repulse the Ork attack without psyker choir support. He is authorized to use up to 10 complete Deathstrike batteries if the situation requires it.
[X] Okefenokee
Once the daemonology choir is sufficiently rested they will begin assisting in sabotage and leadership assassination attacks against the Ork army approaching Okefenokee.
[X] Iota Three
Primaris Geron, supported by the telepathy choir continues encouraging the Orks to hunt the local wildlife. Play on the gaining of the breastplate to encourage Orks to pick fights with particularly impressive wildlife (like large Sphinxes, more Ammut Crocodiles, and Anubis Jackals) in hopes of getting some nice loot of their own.
The Divination choir in Iota One continues supporting the telepaths in this.
Telekinetic choir continues battlefield preparation.

Additional adjustments needed?
[X] Option Two: Escort your other air forces- This will allow your fighters to escort your other air forces as they carry out their duties, reducing the number of casulties they suffer from both Ork Fighter-Bombers and AA.
[X] Bomber Option Two: Defensive Bombing- This involves coordinating bombing runs with the command of the cities under attack in order to help defend the walls, it will result in a decent number of casulties from Ork AA but should lower the pressure on your cities walls.
Still looking for any improvements here if anyone has some?
[X] Salem Rok Option Three: Assault the Roks- One option would be to have your forces set up siege lines around the Roks to contain them while elite forces board and destroy the Roks one at a time. -While this is the fastest way to destroy the Roks it will result in your elites suffering casualties as they are forced to assault highly fortified positions, likely defended by Ork elites.

Tend to feel that leaving the Roks inside the cities alone would be bad. Seems less costly to assault them, but I'm very open to a better idea.
[X] Load 500 of our Hercules dropships with large explosive charges, consider spare deathstrike plasma charges and melta shells.
-[X] Launch 250 these dropships from Salem and ram them into the sides of incoming Roks to assist in deflection. Use diviner guidance to time and place them as effectively as possible.
-[X] Launch 250 these dropships from Malea and ram them into the sides of incoming Roks to assist in deflection. Use diviner guidance to time and place them as effectively as possible.
[X] After the first batch, prepare an additional 500 of our Hercules dropships with large explosive charges, 250 each at Lorien and Yphax. Decision on whether or not to deploy them dependent on effectiveness seen during the Salem and Malea deflection attempts.

I don't think this is the case. Our command structure is by necessity very robust, something that annoyed the Dark Eldar quite a bit as the killing of officers and the like didn't affect things too greatly. Considering the death of an Ork Warlord is only worth a -20 for that specific battle - when Orks are more reliant on such leaders and it was in the midst of battle rather than prepared - I think we'll do fine with having Paulson's second in command take charge. Most of our current Marshals used to be the seconds of our LTs and they've turned out ok IMO. Killing Garkill is far more important.
@Durin
1. Can you confirm that there shouldn't be much issue with Paulson's second taking command of the Everglades?
2. Would it be better for Paulson to join us in killing Garkill or would it be better to keep her in command of the Everglades?
