uhh... I thought that was just a thing for whats-his-name that we already got.
also, durin was pretty specific that it *will* happen at the end of this thread/beginning of the next.

Bzzzzzz
That's just a tech unlock. Most likely, the Tzeentch faction upgrade is his "birth".

Man, that's gonna be very confusing for at least a few minutes.

the weird thing is that since he already exists its going to be less of a "suddenly I existed" thing and more of a "bizarre surge of power from a ritual that might not even exist in this timeline"

I just realized that part of the conditions required for tzeetch's birth could very well be people expecting it to happen D:
its sort of a "can't exist unless you belive in it" but applied to a entity that can cross time/space/dimension from realitys that already believe in him and thus resulting in a self-affirming un-truth.

um....why would durin know? i don't think he wrote whatever this wiki-page references.
unless your asking what durin head-canon's for the ember's verse? but if thats the case why would we know about it?
did we get a download of 33M history when I was not looking?

He has final say over the lore of Embers-verse, so he can say if it's canon or not and know the details.

but as I said.....
if the intention is to get his word as to its canon-ness in embers-verse, why would we know if its true (IE: canon here)? if we don't, then he can't/won't tell us.

so...I guess our history books happened to cover it.
oh well, ... guess thats that then?

Grábakr War Part Ten: The Second Line Buckles
T=35:18:00-49:18:00
You decided to put Marshal Rakes in charge of your main defensive line and to provide him with a mix of all of your non-power armoured forces to hold the line with along with Master of Sanctity Horatius Cocles, whose skill and oratory should help keep your forces morale up. You will personally lead a force built around your most elite forces to counter any Tyranid breakthroughs including both Xavier and Jacob,while Chapter Master Julius will be tasked with countering the Tyranid infiltrators, using the majority of his Astartes as well as Eldar stealth experts and several divisions of Battle Psykers, Jane and Sir Pellinore will be tasked with aiding this force. Finally you will have Lord Marshal Hrothgar lead the Imperial Trust Titan hunters and the Companions of Varen against any Tyranid Bio-Titans which are deployed, a task in which they will make full use of Archmagos Biologis Maximal's anti-Titan Poison.
The Tyranid assault on the Hvergelmir Prime Fortress consisted of the normal waves of Genestealers backed up by a mix of larger and even more deadly bioforms. Between your entrenched defences and massed artillery, which included the devastating Ordinatus Grábakr Marshal Rakes was easily able to hold the line against the main assault, though he was aided in this by the fact that massive thoughthey were the Tryanids numbers were less then expected due to the diversion of Synapse to the fleet. As the Tyranids advanced they deployed a range of deadly new bioforms to the front line, including a large number of heavily enhanced infiltrators, some of which can take out entire squads of Astartes swiftly and single-handedly. They also deployed a major force of Bio-Titans, supported by some unknown Superheavies that seemed to fulfill a similar role as your Testudo Guardian Tanks and provided an unfortunate amount of protection to their charges from your long range artillery. Even with Ridcully's warning this push was able to overwhelming the first wave of Titan-Hunters and cause a breach in your outer defences, one that you had to deploy your elites. Despite the breach being closed and the breakthrough force being overwhelmed the damage done to your defences can not be fully repaired, and will create a vulnerability against future waves. In the void the Tyranids concentrated a greater portion of their synaptic power on the Hive Ships, allowing them to hold out for longer against Autarch Landeer's ferocious harassment. Due to this they suffered only lost a quartet of Hive Ships over the week, well under a tenth of their number.
The second week of the siege of the Hvergelmir Prime Fortress started off like the third but then a terrifying new bioform made its presence known on multiple battlefronts, often by attempting to destroy the keystones of the defences. This new bioform, dubbed the Broodlord Alpha, combines the physical capabilities of a Genestealer Broodlord with the Psychic power of an Alpha-level Psyker, power that is mostly channeled into boosting its already formidable abilities. The result is a lightning fast, incredibly tough killing machine able to wipe out an Astartes Company in a matter of minutes. Marshal Rakes only managed to escape his hunter after the sacrifice of the entire Lifeguard Regiment assigned to guard him, while Master of Sanctity Horatius Cocles was only able to slay his foe after receiving enough damage to kill even him twice over, with only his healing potions being enough to keep him moving. Despite the utter terror that Broodlord Alphas were capable of as infiltrators they failed to have a major impact as they could have as infiltrators, in large part due to Jane hunting down and killing two as well as the one that attempted to kill her. Despite this the attempt on Chapter Master Julius' life was nearly successful, and he was put into a coma by the wounds inflicted on him. Once more the Bio-Titans proved to be the greatest threat, pushing a whole though your defences and smashing massive numbers of your Titan Hunting forces, including almost four entire courts of Knight-Titans. Once more you led your elites out to close the breach and pushed the Tyranids back to the walls, despite the best efforts of the Broodlord Alphas who once more proved to not be a match for a rampaging Oakheart.
While you were able to close the main breach several more minor breaches were opened that will need to be closed if you are to hold the line, a task that will be made more challenging by the Tyranids recent adaptions making them immune to your last anti-Synapse poison. You will need to deploy a major force from your reserves to properly secure the walls, a force that pretty much has to be drawn from the Eldar. In the void Autarch Landeer took out another four of the boosted Tyranid Hive Ships, exchanging each for an entire squadron of his cruisers. Thankfully as the week draws to an end Eldar reinforcements arrive from Gilznabrun, massively increasing Autarch Landeer's numbers. With the additional numbers he believes that he should be able to gain control of the void within two more weeks at the most using current strategies, or half that if he is willing to sacrifice his Ghostships and have them close.

While you were able to close the main breach several more minor breaches were opened that will need to be closed if you are to hold the line, a task that will be made more challenging by the Tyranids recent adaptions making them immune to your last anti-Synapse poison. You will need to deploy a major force from your reserves to properly secure the walls, a force that pretty much has to be drawn from the Eldar. In the void Autarch Landeer took out another four of the boosted Tyranid Hive Ships, exchanging each for an entire squadron of his cruisers. Thankfully as the week draws to an end Eldar reinforcements arrive from Gilznabrun, massively increasing Autarch Landeer's numbers. With the additional numbers he believes that he should be able to gain control of the void within two more weeks at the most using current strategies, or half that if he is willing to sacrifice his Ghostships and have them close.
[] Continue as things are- Gain control of the Void within around two weeks, very low losses
[] Deploy Ghostships in close- Gain control of the Void within around a week, very low losses except to Ghostships which will suffer very heavy losses.

[] Deploy Imperial Trust Superheavies- The Imperial Trust has a decent number of superheavy vehicles in this fight, of which the Knight-Titans of the Aesir are the most numerous. While you lack the numbers to suffer heavy losses a push by a concentrated force of Superheavies is near unstoppable Currant
[] Deploy Eldar Superheavies- The Eldar have a decent number of superheavy vehicles in this fight, including a full Titan Legion. These is your most pwoerful heavy combat force and can be trusted to crush anything you set them on.
[] Heroes (write in which)- Your handful of heroes each represent a irreplaceable asset that when deployed correctly can turn the tide of a battle

Lord Marshal Hrothgar
[] Use Bio-Titan Poison- The poison that Archmagos Biologis Maximal developed will allow your regular forces to take out the Bio-Titans without to much trouble, though as soon as it is deployed the Hive Fleet will begin working on adaptions to counter it.

[] Deploy Eldar Titan Hunters- A mix of Fire Dragons, Eldar Titans and Wraiths with D-Cannons should be able to easily dispatch the Bio-Titans, though not losing some of your most powerful forces.

Ouch. At least the fleet arrival roll worked in our favor.
At this point we pretty much have to just shove everything into the defense.
The only question is which void option do we go with? We can't afford to hold the ground much longer, as it seems the Tyranids have started to get desperate and are throwing out their heaviest hitters, ones that I suspect are incredibly expensive for them to make.

[] Deploy Ghostships in close- Gain control of the Void within around a week, very low losses except to Ghostships which will suffer very heavy losses.
This is why we prioritized the Maw Ships. With those two Nat 100s on the Nid side we're not going to handle Week 4 with anything resembling grace.
@Durin
1. What kind of penalties did the Nids get for prioritizing Void over Ground?
2. I guess Ridcully doesn't have a d2 chance of rerolling enemy crits?

Unexpected!
We did. The problem is the 'Nids got two critical rolls.
