Well what exactly do you mean by "this" turn? Part Eight or Part Nine? I'm pretty sure he was answering about Part Nine and we already know what they did in Part Eight.

1. a smaller sally is just as dangerous but you are risking less. losing a division when something goes wrong is far better then losing a few corps
2. less effective, having them set up telekinetic shields might be more effective however, Objuration Mechanicum is not exactly one of the easier powers for telekinetics, the opposite in fact.
no they were due back on day 26, they arrived at the start of day 27 due to delays. remember chaos is a lot faster in the warp then you are at the moment
and if you read the update you will notice that a decent force of light ships from Vanaheim has arrived

Sally force no longer exists and telekines are now setting up telekinetic shields.

I've altered my plan slightly. I think inflicting more damage on their space forces is rather more important, seeing as there are 4 more waves to come.
So Ridcully is assisting 1st Diviners, and Xavier and Pyromancer 1 are instead going to fry any enemy forces that start getting a foothold. Also safer this way, since their psykers are on 'Anti-Aces' and 'Dispelling'.

Bad idea. We've seen that wide-ranging assistance from Ridcully only results in a +10. He should only be given focused objectives like Scry and Fry or getting information on the Third Circle.
This limits the damage they can do (they'll have to wait until footholds start happening) and can cause collateral damage. Better to have them attack daemons.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be more than +10. And there are going to be 3 more space battles after this.
Besides, even +10 in that Harassments was worth...
About 19,000 Abomination Regiments extra killed, and about 60 or so of our own not killed.

I doublechecked right now and it turns out it's less than what I said.
He didn't give +10, he contributed to +10. It is UTTERLY not worth it.
How did you get those numbers?

I'm reasonably sure Xavier and his Pyromancy Choir are good enough to avoid collateral damage. Even if they have to go lower power.
A quickish estimation with +10 = 10% (Not the most accurate, but close enough).
+100 = *2 kills, 1/2 kills, remember.

The mechanism that tires out our psyker choirs is hurting us on long drawn out battles.
We should look into creating more choirs in the future so that we can cycle through them instead of tiring out the same few sets of choirs.

I'm having Ridcully help with the void battle, but I'm keeping the diviner choir on searching for infiltrators. We've been told in the update that they're going to make a push with their infiltrators with their main forces serving as distraction. This is dangerous because they could do a lot of damage like that, but it's also an opportunity to nab a whole lot of them at once. Either way you look at it, diviners should get on top of that.
I'm having Xavier and the pyromancers burn daemons. Xavier has a +20 against daemons.

If they're going on lower power, that means they won't be doing as much damage as they could.

For an extreme example, 10 regiments taken out on the walls is worth more than 100 regiments taken out on the ground. Frying regiments on the ground isn't really worth it, TBH.
Besides, the people most likely to grab a foothold are the Elites.

- To the left. No, not there, the other left.
He got Daemonslayer instead, which is outright better version of that trait (similarly how Tamia got Hero of Salem or Jane got Champion of the Fens instead of Survivor of the Pink Skies).

Nope, his version was upgraded.
