And so takes the already scary command abilities of the nids and super charges it.


Kinda like a more balanced version of Abaddon really depending on whether or not the Lord is Abaddons equal. If it is then its a massive upgrade to him.

@Durin
1. Are Hive Fleets Kronos (the chaos nomming one) and the hive fleet that makes nid war worlds (I'm not sure it's named so Tiamat will do) canon in Embers verse? Probably a silly question, but its good to confirm things like this and they were introduced fairly recently.
2. Oh yeah don't we have Dreadnaughts from the Blood Dragons?

1. if so they did not reach the galaxy. there are world sized bioforms in the War in the Void however, many of which are psykers scaled up to match their size. for a psyker the size of a planet ripping apart a Necron World Engine is no incredible feat.
2. you do
 
@Durin

1. If we put lin in Storm's End would there be enough space for the enemy land forces on the island?
2. If not would there still be ways for them to deploy forces?
 
Honestly I'd just put Lin in Dis when the time comes. It's a fully upgraded large hive built into a mountain in the middle of our defensive network and located in the Spine, one of the least friendly locations for enemy armor/superheavies.

I don't think we're going to get much better than that for defenses.

I want him to stay as a guest of the Sirens, and for the Chaos Crusade to know that.

While the idea of making a bunch of Abomination cultists and daemons try to invade the ocean sounds hilarious, I do not think that offloading the responsibility of guarding him makes sense. Even if the Sirens would do it for free we'd still need to deal with the political fallout of putting scary Xenos in charge of such a sensitive and important task, especially due to the potential implications that we couldn't handle it adequately ourselves.

I get the feeling that was less an Dreadnought and more likely the Right of Setesh.

honstly, my plan for lin would be to put hin in our underground subway and just zip him over to the next city as soon as we are sure they won't be able to breach the tracks. Or put him in the azure islands. because I would honestly be curious about how someone would even land forces to attack that place. By my understanding, there is very little unclaimed land around the hives, and the oceans are hella deadly.

Teleportation to establish a beach head then land forces.

It'd be bloody, but that's the best way I can think off.

They'd have to take an airport, and even then they'd still be landing ships on a hostile fortress hive. It would be an approach that they would effectively be unable to secure. well they could likely do some sort of warp portal fuckery, but I rather doubt they would be able to deploy super heavies, and it would be a fragile foothold.

Ram it with a battleship to open the shields.

As far as we know the Sirens don't have void shields. The crusade fleet can just boil away the ocean with lance strikes or, indeed, by ramming a battleship into it and detonating the reactor. It'll result in an extreme reaction from Avernus but the reaction may not come quick enough to preserve Lin's life.
