What is the percentage of the population that gets exposed to the Moon and turns into beastmen each year?

What are also the most likely reasons they got exposed when they were supposed to be safe inside?

If there are causes we can do something to fix we can lower loss of our people to both turning then threat they pose to the rest.

There would be several things I see could be a problem in Ostland. If warpstone meteors falling on that day is a thing then better shelters so that damage them hitting populated is lowered cause everybody went into underground bunkers that can take a hit.

Second is education. I don't know if people are properly informed on what best to do or not so that.could be a problem.

Third problem is that Ostlander's are drunkards. Who knows how many people were drinking and without their common sense ended up exposed and turned into a beastman.

About 3-10%, depending on how bad of a year it is.

There's a very, very good reason that the Beastmen are damn near unkillable as a faction, and bounce back from losses real quick.

It's just that people in the Old World have something like a 20-30% growth rate, so even the Beastman Attrition isn't too bad.
 
Eh, I like the flavor text of this better. It's pretty much the same vote, but...

[X] Bloodthirster and Legion: You may not trust the Gods, but you sure as hell trust Magnus. Go kill the hell out of the rest of the assholes bothering the Empire so he doesn't need to worry about you all.
 
[X] Bloodthirster and Legion: You must trust Magnus. Some unspoken rule of one-on-one combat has been enacted, and not a single Khornate approaches. Any that do are cut down by their fellows. If you break that rule…you aren't sure if they'll swarm or not. Besides, the Bloodthirster is the greater threat, ripping and tearing apart your lines! Reiksmarshal Drakenhoff is heading right towards the damn thing, but he is but one man with a runefang. It would be better if there are two. Besides, you can shift an army to assist, which is far more than you can concentrate into the small part of the battlefield that has cleared for the titanic duel. You would be a burden on Magnus in that, and even worse a detriment.

It would be crass to interrupt their duel.
 
[X] Dual Duels
-You go help Magnus
-Urgdug, take the cannons and take down that Bloodthirster, I'll be there as soon as I can

My reasoning is this: The Bloodthirster doesn't seem all that intelligent and is a huge target. At this point, a sergeant is what's needed, to keep the fire going on the beast. We would be moral support or completely useless though.

On the other hand, cannon firing into a duel in which Magnus is participating would be..very bad. We cannot afford friendly fire now. However, our sword could turn the tide.

Urgdug would get destroyed by the Bloodthirster. They don't fuck around.

Mass cannon fire to soften it up is mandatory--fortunately, we have mobile cannons!

Trust in Magnus this is a guy that fought the Everchosen and won. Besides it's one-on-one combat that even Chaos respects so we will only make things worse if we try to interfer.

The best we can do is rally the army and take out the Bloodthirster.

My edited message. And yes, I agree that Urgdug alone would be destroyed, but he is commanding the cannons to fire, not engaging on his own.

Do not...ever assume that a Greater Daemon is not that intelligent.

That is...a monumentally stupid thing to do.

They are semi-godlike beings, capable of existing simultaneously throughout time and space for milennia before and after the world began and will end. They see beyond mortal eyes. They are fucking frighteningly powerful and intelligent.
 
[CANON] Guns- Sage_Of_Eyes

    • Guns (For Bonus to Handgunner rolls)

    "Report, Sergeant Hans." Reikmarshal Drakenhoff was heavily bandaged, to the point where most men would probably succumb to unconsciousness. However, most men were not as large as he was, nor as used to fighting while wounded. As he stood, the man was merely irritated whereas most who be gasping and trying to stay conscious. "Where does the Imperial Foot currently stand in Ostland's armies?"

    "The detachment of Imperial Foot in Ostland has been relegated towards training the Ostland Army of Ostland and Army of Forest." Sergeant Han's reported to his ridiculously bandaged superior. "During battle, we operate under the command of the Elector Count as separate army units, to ensure our maximum effectiveness!"

    "What say you of the effectiveness of their troops?" The Reikmarshal reclined lightly on his chair, content with the use of the Imperial Foot. Using them as the elite troops that they are pleased him, though spreading them amongst the 'common' army would have had its own benefits. "Can they compare?"

    "In terms of survivability and response time, no they cannot." Sergeant Hans reported with a shake of his head. "They lack experience as the Foot does, Reikmarshal, they cannot move as speedily or fight in melee as we do despite the similarity between us and they. However, they are far better than the Handgunners of Tabelcland and Stirland for a key reason."

    The Reikmarshal watched as the Sergeant presented his rifle.

    "What of it?" Drakenhoff frowned, the Imperial Foot sergeants did not do anything without clear reason, especially before the Reikmarshal himself.

    "This gun was not made in Nuln, Reikmarshal, my own was lost as we sallied to rid Hochland of the greenskins' trail of kindred." The Sergeant explained, before carefully disassembling the gun before Drakenhoff's eyes. The movement was fluid, long practiced, not something one expected could be done with an unfamiliar weapon. "In the span of three years, the Count has recreated the Guns of Nuln and has implemented them throughout all of his troops."

    A savage smile came across the Reikmarshal's features.

    "Then, that would mean we have nearly half more Imperial Foot that we had originally."

    "Indeed, Reikmarshal." The Sergeant, as tough as they were made to ensure diligence in every soldier of the Foot, give his own vicious smile in response to the Reikmarshal's own. "12,000 handgunners, all with at least two years of experience fighting against orcs and few veterans of the campaign against Gruber."

    "My, it's almost as if Count Hohenzollern intends to make his own Imperial Foot in the North." The Reikmarshal laughed lightly, spirit emboldened by the thought, if only slightly. "Had that man not be… himself, I would worry for the safety of our nation."

    The Sergeant silently agreed, but made no comment.

    "Hmmm… see to it then, that our men coordinate as much as possible with the Handgunners of Ostland, Captain."

    "Reiksmarshal, I am a S-."

    "I know what I said, now do as I ordered."​

    The problem is, we are still a melee-focused character, while the enemy is a fucking artillery problem. I'm not sure how much good we would actually be in that fight and Urgdug seems like a really good sergeant at arms, and could probably keep the fire going on the bastard without us.

    We need Hertwig and her anti-demon sword.

    [X] Attack of the Elector Counts: You know one weapon that is very good at dispatching deamons and that is Ortrud's sword. You can take Urgdug and the rest of the Thunder squad ogres to get her and then gather rest of yoir heavy hitters to assault the Bloodthirster. First unload massive barrage of cannonfire and then Hertwig wail onto it's broken corpse till it's dead. Also, if you can get the elves to buff your assault force with magic it would be great.

    Khornates usually have great magic resistance so the magic would be more effective in bufing and healing our troops.
