Ehhhhh that's German, but I believe that's a dreadnought.
In which case probably, we did get the designs for Imperial era ones from the BD.

What? Really? They changed the name through translation? And I only though german voice actors were bad...

Made...not to my knowledge.
Its the kind of thing Vanaheim would do, but as far as I am aware we only have the Legend and Prophet designs.
We could probably omake a few into existence, but I'm shit at design in general never mind ships.
Looks that way.

No I meant the Astartes Dreadnoughts. It'd be a sad sight if regular tactical marines could beat venerable dreadnoughts.

Oh right.
Then no, we have the designs for Imperial power dreads from the Blood Dragons, but currently we have not upgraded the Dreads with our tech.
Though thinking about it...that gives me an idea.

War on Two Fronts Part Eight: The Siege Begins
T=20:00:00-27:00:00
Tamia and the First Telepathy Choir spent most of the time that the Abomination forces were setting up their siege camps protecting your forces from the influence of the Abomination Sorcerers, who attacked using a mix of blatant emphatic attacks and mind control as well as far more subtle conditioning and setting up sleeper agents. Tamia managed to stop or counteract the vast majority of these attacks, though a few got though and may cause some issues later. Their telekinetics were more successful, weakening your walls in twenty locations, though not by a significant amount. While this was happening Xavier and the Pyromancers burned tens of millions of Abomination Troopers, which while only a percent of the first wave is still a significant force.
Your forces harassed the Abomination army for another day before pulling back as they started to bring their fortifications online, killing another few tens of millions in this time. However over the week it too for the Abomination forces to set up their siege camps it was your artillery which caused most of the damage, killing half a billion men, tens of thousands of tanks and expanding several giga-tons of munitions. This is a good tenth of the Abomination forces, and a large proportion of their infantry forces. Over this week the forces of the Abomination had been engaged in a major summoning ritual, sacrificing a hundred and twenty five million of their men over a five day ritual which tore open a hole to the warp bringing forth a Angylic Host led by an Archangyl of the Third Sphere numbering in the millions. This proved to be enough to draw more attention from Avernus, both according to Ridcully's premonitions and judging by the sightings of mysterious lions ambushing Abomination Champions and your seismic detectors tracking the progress of a full dozen Magma Wyrms approaching the Abomination forces. As the summoning finishes the Abomination Transport Fleet returns to the system, missing a few thousand escorts as well as a full third of the transports, most likely lost to an ambush by the stealth fleet of Muspelheim. It will take three days for this fleet to reach Avernus, time in which your fleet will have an opportunity to confront it.
With the completion of the Abomination siege lines, the arrival of their second wave and the summoning of the Third Sphere Archangyl the war enters the next phase, in which they plan to launch a series of heavy assaults on the walls of Dis using all of the forces they have available in the effort yo gain a secure foothold within the city. While the initial waves of this attack will mostly consist of their regulars supported by their artillery and the bombardment canons of their Battle Barges as they test your defences alter waves will include their elites, massed Angyls and even their Titan Legion. As the attacks are underway that will attempt to sneak in some more infiltrators, using the cover of their attacks as a distraction. They will be disrupted early in this by a massed Magma Wyrm attack, which would cause massive damage even unsupported and provide a good opportunity for a sally. Otherwise you will be on the defensive for the foreseeable future, baring any other major forces that Avernus deploys. The Abomination forces have four assets that are a real threat. First is the Titan Legion, over a hundred Titan's and six hundred Knight-Titans having a concentration of firepower and toughness that only your dedicated anti-Titan forces stand a chance against. The Titans are the one unit that has enough pure firepower to make a major breach in the walls of Dis. Next are the Space Marines and Sisters of Battle. These warriors are dangerous enough that a attack spearheaded by them is likely to be able to gain a foothold on the walls, and to hold it long enough to move in a large force, they are also deadly city fighters so will be a major threat in the Abomination Generals next planed stage one he has gained a foothold within Dis. Third are the Psykers, which have the ability to alter the odds on any major battle if left unopposed. Finally and most importantly is the Angylic Host, which is led by Archangyls a match for your greatest heroes and has hundreds of thousand of flying warriors who can ignore many of the rules of reality. However your psyker regiments are well equipped to counter them, the Black Irons have the will to fight them, Sirens are built to hunt them and Avernus has a hatred of them that is likely to see other forces being deployed to fight them.

remember that Avernite cities have heavily layered defences, so losing the outer walls is by no means a disaster, or even a major problem.
first you will have to decide on the balance of militia to PDF on the outer defences
[] Rely entirely on the militia to hold the outer defences - This will save your regulars for later battles while still having a force that is hard to move off the walls.
[] Have an even split of regulars and militia hold the outer defences - This is a balance between the other two options .
[] Rely entirely on the regulars to hold the outer defences - This will make the walls incredible hard targets to take but will increase the amount of attrition that the heart of your combat power takes .
[] Write in General
next you will have to decide how to deploy your Helltroopers and Helguard
[] Keep all of your elites in reserve to counter enemy elites. -This will ensure that you have enough elites to counter the Abomination Elites but will weaken the defences on the walls, making breaches more liekly.
[] Deploy half your elites on the wall and keep half in reserve. -This will leave you with a significant reserve force of elites while reinforcing the walls.
[] Deploy all your elites on the wall to prevent enemy breaches. -This will make it harder for you to deal with concentrated attacks but will make regular attacks on the walls near futile.

Hmm.
Do we have any idea what the Magma Wyrms will be targeting?
If it's the Titans, I'd suggest a sally with our Titan-Slaying forces, half our Execution Forces, and whatever other escorting troops Rotbart deems necessary.
If it's the Angyls, I'd suggest biomantic enhancement and possibly exploiting their natural heat for a Grand Pyromantic Choir. And the Sirens. Can't forget the Sirens. Support Sirens with Black Irons if necessary, and possibly Psykers as well.
The generic troops we may just want a general sally.

no, but they are more vulnerable against psychic attacks then conventional ones

no you dont.
you daubt it is the Angyls though as they are flyers and can avoid ground based attacks
if you a couple of Master deamonologist alphas led by a Grandmaster, maybe
hostile telaporting is really, really, hard. there is a reaon that it is never used as a basic attack by anyone. doing it to something like an Archangyl is near impossible. killing it with pyroamncy would be far easier

Okay...
In that case, I'd suggest trying to target the enemy Titans, as Titan-scale firepower is needed to kill Magma Wyrms, and as thus they'll have to make a choice between "Shoot giant kaiju worms" and "Shoot Avernite forces".
I don't think a Grand Pyromantic Choir could harness the heat well enough to slag Titans effectively, unlike Angyls who are a bit squishier overall. Unless we could retarget the heat.
I do want to take advantage of the giant meatshield distraction the Magma Wyrms represent, though. A dozen of those things is terrifyingly dangerous, and they will have to focus them down.
Thank the Emperor(no not that one) the Abomination doesn't have Nurgle's zombie gimmick, a undead Magma Wyrm blessed by Chaos would be horrifying.
I strongly favor a sally.

I should mention that you usualy suffer between 1 and 10 million losses to a single Magma Wyrm. that is with Avernite technology, skill, leadership and actually knowing a lot about them. and only 1. a dozen at a time would probebly kill a hundred million Avernite soldiers, or a billion + Abomination troopers depending on any aces they deploy

Would it be possible to give the Magma Wyrms a good prod mentally to target the Titans?
Because those are the only things we can't really counter right now. Angyls are bad, but they're on Avernus, so they gon get et, plus we have Sirens, but the Titans can just blow through in a storm of metal, plasma, lasfire, and whatever heretical technology they happen to carry around.
Plus we could have a scene like Kalros eating a Reaper Destroyer and that would be cool AF.

I really think permakilling the Archangyl should be a goal of ours. It may dissuade the First Circle from joining the fight and it'll force Valinor's ground forces to make a morale check at a penalty, which when combined with the Magma Wyrm attack, treason, and sally could very well see them breaking.

you have to say what is sallying and what your targets are

1. Doesn't Rotbart's n Steps Ahead mean we don't have to pick force distributions since he'll pick the optimal number and composition?
2. What targets would we have available?

Hmm. I wonder if the Angyls can feel doubts and the like, like normal Daemons, or if they're unfeeling things instead.
First fits the "giant goddamn hypocrite" of the Abomination, second fits the "OBEY" of the Abomination.

1. You still have to decide on the scale of the sally
2. Main force, elites, artillary, supplies, command, titans, Psykers, angyls
