I do not know if the omake was cannon but More'lumix hates Turoq for cheating her out of demonhood. So I do not see Turoq going to her. Maybe packing up and running.

If no one wants to go with my suggestions then I think I'll vote for the warhost option since that still let's us wreck the attacking forces while preserving our strength.

This comes with the huge problem of people becoming aware that we are allied with the Eldar which can be extremely problematic in that people will see that a relatively minor polity is openly allied with the Eldar who are openly helping them right after a rescue attempt that had many different people helping the Eldar scry on a chaos gods domain to free an Eldar god.

Are we able to do a strike force in conjunction with the warhost?

That would take two minor favors I think

- To the left. No, not there, the other left.
No it isn't, Durin stated multiple times that this kind of minor assistance to the small sane polities is perfectly in line with their SOP, the fact it prevents Chaos getting their hands on advanced tech is a convenient reason for them to interfere right now.
Only if we tried to openly use a major favor to, for example, kill all hostiles in 200ly radius would other polities smell a rat.

Also kills off a worryingly competent Turoq.

Eldar intervene all the time, all over the galaxy. Fuck chaos. It's not suspicious at all.

The colonies will have a force made of the forces we did not choose I already asked.

The Strike Force has better odds if Turoq is raiding.

No I meant, directly fighting side by side seems like it would be an issue considering how xenophobic humans usually are. Assumed that no one would bat an eye at the Eldar headcapping a chaos lord from nowhere.

why are peopel voting for the strike force? the dark mech is specifically super resistant to the kind of infighing it would typically inspire. They would have the highest ranking survivor take up control and move on.
Areatha has a 50-75 chance of killing Turoq while the strike forces has a 80 percent chance.

people will assume that youa re willing to fight beside them against chaos. Given that the Imperium was known to and most human polities are in no condition to turn down allies it is not that strange. Also over the last 1300 years some groups have got less xenophobic, often out of necessity

Nooooo...
The warhost is equally non-suspicious. Arguing against it on the grounds of other polities linking us with the eldar goes against the Word of Durin.
We can totally get a warhost intervention to wreck our attackers and it won't reveal any deeper ties.

Yes, and if we were 'spending' 500 or fewer points total the remainder would be enough to reinforce the colonies to the point that Turoq's group wouldn't risk their forces raiding.
However, we're spending 860 points total. That leaves the colonies 360 points short of where they 'want' to be.
If we're hoping to lure Turoq into attacking the colonies in order to increase our odds of headcapping him, we can certainly go over the 500 point limit, but stoping at, say, 600 or 700 will ensure that the colonies will be able to reasonably fight off his attacks.
Turoq's plan here is to try to force us to either accept the risk of crippling damage to core worlds while protecting our colonies or to protect our core worlds at the cost of our colonies getting trashed. While the Eldar coming in and fucking shit up neatly ruins most of his plans, the strike force option does NOT solve the problem of a fucking massive fleet and army at the colonies. While it could certainly fall apart with Turoq dead, I'd really rather not risk that.
Hell, leaving the colonies relatively undefended could lead to Turoq smelling a rat, even if it's unlikely, and better defended colonies would probably force Turoq into fighting personally, making it easier to properly headcap him.

right, the warhost is less likely to kill Turoq, but it will make sure he fails his primary objective. If it's turoq or someone else who takes advantage of us being crippled it doesn't matter all that much. Is going from probably better than even ods to a sure thing on killing turoq really worth risking letting the core worlds get ravaged?
