While the AdMechs build our base, the Astartes would go to crash sites and recover what they can and then melt the rest. Rhinos, Jet Bikes, Thunderhawks, and etc should make it easier.

Cool, plan FortMon wins. Having said that I did specify plans require reasoning. I'm not going to disregard it in this instance as we're not even out of the intro yet but keep it in mind for the future.

@FractiousDay just want to remind you that the true FortMon plan is the one on the bottom with half a Cadian Infantry Regiment and half Galaxia.

Not that it matters in the short run given how far in the minority I was but I'm still confused as to why my vote for the Griffons didn't show up on the list?
On another side note: I've taken a brief look at this over on space battle and I'm confounded. I have no idea why it is miles less popular over there. Is it a Warhammer thing where that is unpopular on space battles or maybe the opposite if this is oversaturated?
I would simply not know on the 40k front because I am much more of a fantasy fan and read far more of the fantasy material.

I really should have argued harder for them, I did want them in my original plan.
I was so focused on trying to push something mechanically sound that only now am I realizing I could have probably been more convincing by simply talking about how interesting they can be as characters, I get the impression that most of the noncombat orders don't tend to be rushed into situations like this on purpose very often.
Many of them may have more experience being aboard ships or in research facilities or on shrine worlds. Seeing that contrasted with some of our other forces who probably rarely get to do anything else would have made for great dynamics.

Wait so the fleet was already damaged before a warp malfunction then?
EDIT: Oh good we do have some Adepta folks but probably more of the chicks who'd smile at the smell of promethium than the sort that would make for a good support crew. I'm hoping they are least not from that one order that fetishes being in pain and like lets themselves get hurt on purpose :-(

Damaged during the warp malfunction. Haven't made my mind up yet but for example the Fleet is going to Planet X and then gets sucked into the 'Whirlpool' of Morrsleib, that's why you were falling into the planet in the first place.
Damage rolls
Warp damage
Quality of landing
damage control efforts
Reclamation?

I wonder if the Imperium showing up will kick the orcs into overdrive; they tend to be really good at sudden escalation when a roight proppa fight begins, and beakies iz good fer a proppa scrap.

I worry that any orcs just seeing our technology might be thrown into overdrive with *ideas* which may be far more dangerous than their own bodies.
I hope we don't see any go from building animated stone idols to building gargants.
Unless of course, the DM decides that these are biologically different than '''standard''' 40k orks? I know An ISOT in grimdark did that and it would probably go some way to explaining phenomena like Hobgoblins and Gnoblars and those old orc cheerleader models.
So how do these calculations work exactly is it like damage control subtracted from damage done?

Sort of. I've got a spreadsheet I'm using to keep track of stuff on the advice of Durin from the Embers quest. For example, the Battle Barge is well armoured, got good rolls for avoiding significant damage, landing, and then damage control, so losses are less than other vessels. Comparably there are other ships which are less well armoured and have simply exploded killed all aboard.
Oh so we're now a powerhouse

im more concerned about the land raider and the terminator armour as we would likely need relic level to make more an are ability to make stuff is shot to hell

I only see one apoth killed so we should be fine on that note. I'm more upset that we've lost so much of our more ''human'' crew. This I am sure will make it harder for us to build a settlement anyone would wish to come live within.

The heavily damage Manufactorum is really bad too. I pray to the Omnisiah that it could be repaired.
