I understand bro, I'm with you on that.
What I really want to see now is Ridcully riding HHWO entering the Warp to save Isha.

EDIT:

Scratch that, what I want to see is, after a successful rescue, Ridcully and Isha riding HHWO towards the Warp equivalent to the Sunset, while Ennio Morricone music plays in the Background (I thought about the Ode of Joy instead , but it is a little too typical)

Well not dramatic, but certainly comedic would be cancan music as Nurgle futility chases after them.
 
I would point out that the divs on the nid's and the investigation into the queen is likely to be of massive help to the eldar too....its not like they have a queen-corpse to play with (we got lucky getting one...they would have to get lucky too...so why risk it if we can give them the info?) we should probably look into letting the eldar also vivisect the corpse along with our poison-research folks
The Norn queen is only useful for this hive specifically.

Avernus would probably appreciate Norn Queens from other splinter fleets though.
 
But we already got basically all the major dets on this one.

All the other splinter fleets will be different.
But come from the same source.

There'll not be the same, but this will hopefully give them more info to go on than bugger all.

Also as Durin said in discord the PM's going to bee happy with this aqisition.
 
@Durin About this a couple of questions

1 And Would it be possible to send HHWO, Ridullly and Arethea to Abbdon?

2 And if we give her the full set of BCJ, would the trio be able of pulling the Perma Killing of that fucker (because if IIRC Arethea with the BCJ had a pretty decent chance of killing Abbdon by herself)?
1. probably
2. maybe, there is a higher chance of them all dying though, its not like he would be alone and Abbadon is really scary. The only person you can think of that has come close to killing him in the last 10k years is Bjorn Fell-handed (a 15,000 year old hero with half a dozen Paragons and a Trancendent), who rolled a nat 100 in a last stand
 
If all guardman party has taught me anything we should not keep a psychic Tyranid for observation. Honestly, the demonthrope was quite possibly the most horrific thing they ever faced.
 
2) Will Eldar consider including Border Lions in Isha's Rescue?
Don't imagine it would be hard to convince the lions for that since rescuing Isha would be a fuck you to chaos which is pretty much one of Avernite natives things.
And abandon all the DAOT Ruins!!??!!? Mechanicus civil war inc.
To be fair Avernus has some pretty horrifying things on it including a potential galactic level nuke. Could see the Imperium at the least getting into a heated argument with the Admech over it.
 
@Durin
1 If we have Ridcully use the free action to divine the corpse while getting it cut open year 3 in the same turn, will that count as him doing it before the corpse is cut open?
2. Do all personal action slots have to be empty for the Eldar loaning action to be taken?
3. If Rotbart is working on personal action for an extra action in one of the other slots (i.e. Munitorium), can we sacrifice a slot in that category if we plan on loaning him to the Eldar?
 
Not Durin, but he said we lose all Personal Actions. That means all 3 slots. Only one left is our assistant's slot, so he will chug along on what he can actually do (which is Administratum Construction actions)

We can use the free divination on anything not in the 1000 lightyears range. We have to use either a focus or greater divination.
 
@Durin a few questions about HWWO and the border lions.

1 Can we get the character sheet of HHWO with diplomacy actions? Which action would we need to get it (if possible) persons of interest or ask Vlad?

2 How big are the border lions? And how big is HWWO? (IIRC the only data about that is that they are significantly bigger than the phase tigers)

um, I'm pretty sure that the nid's don't mutate/evolve THAT quickly. the hive splinters are going to have some pretty major similaritys even if they have some differences.

Afterall, this is a SPLINTER fleet, IE, the remnents of the leftovers of a single one that had survived by becoming anti-cron (or as much as is possable for nid's) so they will likely share quite a few traits.

No, the splinter/breakthrough fleets are extremely divergent, to the point that one of them evolved to use living metal.
2. Is this the first of the New-Nids that is hitting the galaxy? If it isn't, maybe the Eldar can tell us about how effective they are?
2. no but the others are very different. One even adapted to use living metal
Remember that War in the Void is a conflict of a truly astronomical scale, spanning millions of lightyears and likely containing innumerable fronts.

    -[x] We have agreed to and currently in talks with Dragon's nest in forming a single polity. When combined and given all our technology, together we will be able to quadruple our current military strength. As well as giving them a boost they will also be able to upgrade. While we are all worrried about the Tyranids they are not the only problem we are facing. With a Waagh in the region expected to hit the chaos polities we need are allies even more and tech exchange will help them and us greatly. For those of you worrried about tech theft we do have agreements helping Dragon's nest with their spy problem.
    [X] Vote Suggestion 1
    -[X] Provide Dragon's Nest will all Tier 1 and 2 technology that you have access to along with Tier 3 Technology that is intended for use by Astartes.
    -[X] Point out that the Blood Dragons are still dealing with significant numbers of spies from Chaos polities, possibly including agents of the Alpha Legion. Until Grandmaster Ridcully and the Inquisition can flush them out, giving the Blood Dragons higher tier technologies poses a great risk to the Trust's future security.
    -[X] Argue that the higher-tier technology transfer will not help the Blood Dragons in the coming war against the Tyranids, as they will not have sufficient time necessary to upgrade the industries required to construct and maintain the high-tier technologies.
    -[X] Waiting until the end of the current Tyrannic War will let us assess the future strategic situation better, as we will be certain which the local Chaos polities will continue to be security threats to the Trust.
    [X] Semi-Compromise Option 1/2
    -[X] Provide Dragon's Nest will all Tier 1 and 2 technology that you have access to along with Tier 3 and Tier 4 Technology that is intended for use by Astartes.

Until Grandmaster Ridcully and the Inquisition can flush them out, giving the Blood Dragons higher tier technologies poses a great risk to the Trust's future security.
    -[X] Higher-tier technology transfer will not significantly help the Blood Dragons in the coming war against the Tyranids, as they will not have sufficient time necessary to upgrade the industries required to construct and maintain the high-tier technologies en masse.
    -[X] The higher tier technologies intended for Astartes, however, should both be implementable to great effect within the short time frame as well as being exclusive in use enough that they would be difficult to steal.
