sheer coincidence
yeah they are, this is what happens when over a hundred million worryingly deadly bioforms are launched at you per hour for weeks on end

Well you did good troops, sorry we couldn't do better.
Yes, yes they are.
Just reading about this "battle" is making me maudlin and a bit sick to my stomach.
Pretty real sense in despair at the idea of fighting such a powerful Tyranid force on the ground.
Makes sense really. The initial size of Grábakr matched that of Hive Fleet Leviathan and after all of our attrition we only reduced it to half its size. That means something like 8% of the hivefleets' ground forces is attacking a single world.

Is there supposed to be something for the space combat or is that incoming on a different update?

For a nicer thought to a very grimdark (for the trust) war. I serious thinking of a omake named 'avernite duty 2', I only not sure if any of the guys in the first could have survive or Just go with family members (some of those battlebrothers) that decide to honor the first group. Because the guys in my omake do use bombs when they think they will not survive the next battle (they had multiple strategies for last stand involving bombs).

Are these casulties what we expected at this stage, worse or better?

To me is already sad that the avernites can say that they envy the ones in the trust wars. Because Avernus eternal war is also a meat-grinder. And this time they probably die more here (excepted the avernite militia numbers...I think).

yeah, we're losing billions, but we're doing much better than expected.
Normally I regard updates to this quest with excitement. The last few have all inspired dread.
Indeed. You're doing a good job of demonstrating that.
Glad the Orks have done something useful. And the good news is that our recovery rate tends to be better than that of the Chaos polities, because of our superior tech and their tendencies to backstab one another during times of weakness.
I'm hoping we'll recover enough that we can afford to take out Demagoye during the timeskip. They're small, but I'd rather not have a Slaaneshi polity so close to us given the whole deal with Vect.

Well that was brutal but completely expected so it is what it is.

While it sucks we are taking such casualties the bright side is that us doing as well as we are has shown how far we have come considering that the old Imperium of Man would have had serious trouble with just Hive Fleet Leviathan while we as small as we are able to take on a fleet as big as it with the Nids in said fleet being many times dangerous than the ones the Imperium of old dealt with.
I wonder how well the old Imperium of Man would have done against a Hive Fleet like Grábakr?

Could we predict where they will want to build their synapse support structures and plant gigantic plasmabombs as mines underneath them?

@Red Bovine Barring deploying massive numbers of Custodes and Sisters of Silence? Generally they'd die.
