1. they stackAw piss there's two of em
@Durin
1. Do the omake bonuses stack or have they been expended?
2. Have you rolled to see if the Ancient One has intercepted or not?
3. What avernite interfearence have we seen/been told about so far?
2. so far he has failed to, but there are still a few chances
3. well apart from the massed fire combined with your ortillary, the seas seem to be extinguishing Angyls that fly to close, there is a migration of Titan Scopions moving east from Aridia, and varies more local issues. also the Dragons are doing somthing

Well that's actually pretty major for this fight since we know have more really good seers.
God's speed to the ancient one.

You know when the phrase "also the dragons are doing something" it tacked onto the end you know we've hit big baloony.
Ok that is good...well sorta.

1. Can Tamia and the telepaths link up Lin to our various soldiers to basically broadcast him into their minds?
2. Can they amplify the volume of his thoughts to telepathically assault the daemons?
3. Can the nynye kit-bash an anti-daemon poison if they get a sample of Lin's blood?
4. Can we implant our soldiers with bombs so if they get captured or turned we can explode them and thus prevent them from being sacrificed?

Im assuming that these troops are under our direct command and not just about to go get themselves killed?

I can just see a bunch of Saurians in both Empires armies going "Huh, war is over, what do we do now?" ...and then the Angyls swarm overhead heading for Dis.
Cue the generals of the two empires glancing at each other, then back at the Chaos incursion, then back at each other, toothy grins widening.

@Durin, I just remembered that penal legion explosive collars are a thing, which should be much easier to produce and distribute than internal explosive implants. But what do you mean by "usually does not work"? This wouldn't be penal legion "obey or die", more like cyanide capsules for a spy to avoid torture by the enemy.

If controlled by the wearer it is an expensive form of sucked pill. If remote controlled then 1 person being mind controlled can blow up entire units
And penel legions are cannon fodder 99% of the time

Bluntly the only way to absolutely deny these fuckers a ritual if other methods fail is to have the hive blow. Technically that's an option for maybe lonely citadel but if they start to do it at Dis, heroic bullshit would be needed.

It also seems like a bad idea to copy the dispicable tactics of the Imperium, when fighting the embodiment of the imperium.
Just seems like a poor choice, even with the best of intentions.

but ya a lot depends on what happens at the citadel. Worse comes to worse and it does become the Chaos tear target detonate the hive as best as possible.

We Shall Wake to Sanity
[] Lonely Citadel Hold- Reinfoce the Lonely Citadel with forces from Dis
We have massive forces in Dis, we can spare some and we can't allow them to establish a secure foothold so close to Dis to ritual from.
[] Ritual- Disrupt it- Exchange lives for time
We... probably have to do this. Time favors us massively here, Avernus is hell for daemons, and the longer this goes on the longer can our artillery speak.
[] Keep airforce in reserve- Allow you to better react to unexpected attacks
If we are disrupting the rituals, supporting that with most of our air force is probably a good idea. But there will be further ritual attempts later I am sure, and Angyls fly, so... Keeping a strong air force is vital i think.
Why not give Rotbart priority 5? We want him as secure as possible while he commands, he should be nowhere close to fighting. High Command should be 4 I believe, they have far greater value as commanders than fighters.
Lets not modify the Eldar forces deployment, they know their capabilities best.
Tamia could use a 4 I think, she is more of researcher than a combatant.

There is a phrase in parts of R&D, "happy path testing" - meaning to test a device or program by using it the way it is intended to be used, and seeing if it works as expected when used properly. Happy path testing is vital for the obvious reason, but focusing only on happy path testing is a mistake that keeps biting people in the ass over and over and over and over. Inevitably, something will go wrong, and you had better have your contingencies in place before that happens.
You seem to be falling prey to this mistake, and I urge you to consider what happens when things are not going as intended, to see why this is probably a bad idea. As the war proverb goes: "The enemy gets a vote."
In particular: Are you imagining these collars as being fail-safe or fail-deadly? Consider what happens when the enemy brings a jammer to either one. (Whether a literal physical jammer, or a fraudulent message saying "we've lost the codes for the collars in City X".)

Or more simply do we have billions of warded bomb collars to stop any jackass daemon with basic telekinesis from setting them off.

Yes. OTOH, I would think mere jackass daemons with basic telekinesis already have a profusion of targets. At high tech levels and correspondingly high energy requirements, almost anything involving the words "ammo", "fuel" or "power supply" is potentially an explosive waiting to go off if poked the wrong way.

@Durin did we get this pattern of defense laser in the Grand Conclave?

Two to three kinds of "defence lasers"
First are just called "Defence Laser".
Second are Volcano Cannons.
The possible third type are just Lance or Macrobattery weapons.
That sounds like an archeotech Lance Battery, in all honesty.
