Also on your last comment to bring the Nids to Avernus that is a horrible idea. The last thing anyone wants is the Nids anywhere near our planet. The dangers of them getting access to any Avernite biomass and genetics far out weigh any possible strength. And they would kill anything we put in its way as well. This Splinter fleet is the size and power of a full Hive Fleet.
It is a horrible idea, but not for the reason you say. Avernus has killed tyranids before when they tried to attack it and did so before they ate anything. Same thing will happen if they show up. It's a horrible idea because Avernus will kill us for sending the nids at it.

I would not be so sure about this. It might actually be grateful for the opportunity to ransack them for new biotech, all that tasty biomass, and less Tyranids in the galaxy (Avernus is not just fuck chaos, its also fuck necrons and tyranids probably too.)

Bigger problem might be the wildlife getting even worse as PM incorporates what it gets from Tyranids.

Necrons that definitely would have a problem with. But the nids are not something was originally designed to fight. it was smart enough to kill them the last time because I knew it would match of a problem they would become if they got access to its biomass. to the point that they probably take over the planet and ruin the rest of its experiments.

I wonder if Avernus' Old One defenses would pop out and annihilate an attacking Hive Fleet? They destroyed that Ork who was planning to blow up the planet, they should activate for something planning to eat it.

Tyranids have a problem with Avernus through, if i remember right the planet territory in the Warp messes with the Tyranids shadow in the warp, so we don't actually know if the Tyranids go fully haywire or even absolutely catatonic without their connection to the hivemind.

We've confirmation that it would, Areatha and the Older Avernites remember it activating when nids came for it last time and noping them out of existence.
 
I agree with the concept, but am sceptical enough to realize that difficulties in execution have already been foreshadowed. Waaagh Ironbusta was directed into Amir-Ka by their own Tzeentchian faction and Amir-Ka plans to launch another military campaign the instant they win this war.
While most of the Tzeentchians involved may think they are provoking winnable wars to influence politics, they are actually betraying Amir-Ka to Tzeentch's plan to get humans off of Avernus, by weakening the powers that stand between us and the Tyrannid fleet.

If we warn Amir Ka it might do something, but the Tzeentchians will use their influence to discredit our claims.

Proposed plan: 1. Divine who exactly the major figures of this conspiracy are.
2. Send Commisar Sepet to assasinate prominent Tzeentchians in Amir Ka, with preference for figures of the conspiracy and people who speak against our claims, or just assasinate Tzeentchians who can make themselves listened to in the wider political sphere. While also warning everyone in the area.
3. Find another Ork to unify Ironbusta's domain while the Tyrannids are busy chewing through Amir Ka.
Alternatively, inform Chaos domains of incoming Tyranid fleet, stomp on the orks to get that war over with as soon as possible, and then everyone prepares for the bug war.
The problem is of course that we'd be counting on Chaos to not attack us for technology before the nids come, but that would weaken everyone involved right before a major Tyranid Hive fleet arrives, so it seems unlikely. Particularly since the bugs arrive in 20 years, and that's not much time to implement technology.
Am I missing anything?
Can Ridcully predict how the necrons and chaos polities would react to being told about the incoming Tyranids?

If we promise to share the poison, would the Eldar be willing to collect and deliver a sample?
Oh boy, another bargaining chip for the Eldar to toy about with. Good thing they're our allies. I guess.

That's repairing ships we have left in the graveyard
WE STILL HAVE SHIPS IN THE GRAVEYARD?!
I thought for sure we'd sold those to Bertil.

Oh we should probably make our decision regarding what kind of Titant we want for next turn, just so we can have something on the scale of Bio Titans so we don't have to all of Asgard again.

Yeah not a lot but what we have left is or was a little over a thousand escort/destroyers/frigates left.
 
We already know they'll give us samples for free.
I'd give you free samples too if I knew you'd use it to make a product with incredible market demand in the near future, and then probably give it to me because I'm the best distributor you know.

As for blink-titans/knight/whatever, outfit them with a layer of missile artillery, like those torpedoes we've covered our ships with. Psi-Titan blinks to enemy command or other valueble strategic units, delivers payload, blinks out. Rinse, repeat.
half a dozen Tyranid Splinter Fleets that will soon break though the Necron blockade and come up from above the galaxy. This means that they will eat their way though Amir-Ka and Ironbusta's Domain before they reach the Imperial Trust.
@Durin
Are we to understand that we're only two layers of enemies from the Autem galactic edge? Or will the Tyranids be eating their way through other polities/domains/realms before reaching Amir-ka?

I think its more like they are more tasty then we are so the nid's are starting with them.(they have less densely-powerful forces then us)
 
Oooooh. Oooohhh fuck.

Guys. If the nids are coming, we might want to hang back on the Thunder Warrior project.

They might be shittier than Space Marines, but the 'nids never got to toy with their genetics, so there could be some real problems here. We don't want to feed them new things unless we gotta.

No this was before the nids turned up.

They've always been willing to give us mid bits since we became allies not just because the nids are incoming.

They're stronger than marines in most senses and the nids have certainly eaten astartes.

I mean "The nids have never gotten their mitts on Thunder Warriors". Misspoke, I suppose.
