what about their second best oracle and scryer or the third best oracle and scryer ?


didn't like two or three die during the auction throwdown as well

As far as I've read, no. They only started dying afterwards

Okay, I actually hadnt accounted for that 17 benchmark, which is why I assumed the 14ish total. So our numbers more or less align here because I didnt realize you were referring to 7-8 available. Thats good.

Yeah, once we lower that 7-8 to 5-6 available, that means she'll be out as - 1-2 on containing the remaining Druchii resistance, 2+ on securing the Stadiums, 2+ on securing the remaining pyramids, and one or two acting as Alyssa's middle managers to keep everything coordinated.

At that point, the numbers no longer match up. Because even under the most generous terms, thats 1 (Resistance) +2 (Stadiums) +2 (Food Production Facilities) +1 (Coordination). Which means that she'd have most of her sorceresses dispersed on holding key ground, and any attempts to redistribute her coven to actually concentrate force against a resisting element means leaving relatively critical infrastructure relatively undefended.

Meaning a Hultressa gank. Or a rebel druchii gank. Or a Natasha warband gank would be on the table for whomever is left. And it would also give the rebel druchii factions the leverage to try and flip the Sorceresses on Anchorstone duty, given the obvious writing on the wall at that time.

I guess the best thing to happen at the anchorstone complex would be for the sorceress there to get killed and the anchorstone to get damaged somewhat, forcing Alyssa to send 1-2 sorceresses there, while also opening up more locations she needs to worry about.

However, even if the situation becomes bad enough for all remaining sorceresses to need to maintain the anchorstone Network, she'd still have some other hero units left in the form of Slaaneshi priests and champions, as well as the demon in the temple of Khaine.

We don't really need to worry overly much about the Slaaneshi Priests and champions in this case, because those are going to be the first and primary targets for any Druchii to counter purge in order to appeal to Khaine in the aftermath of things.

The Sorceresses are the ones who will be big force multipliers given their spellcasting expertise and ability to do things outside of applying Slaaneshi bullshit en masse. Which is purely corruptive, it doesnt truly make anything.

Without Sorceress backup, folks like Johanna and Kreillien will be able to start taking a butchers toll on the Slaaneshi priestesses
 
For the record, if we're going for Anchorstone complex, we're going for capture, kill Enemy personnel, GTFO before reinforcements arrive, right?

There's absolutely no way Natasha and others will go for destruction of Anchorstone itself?
Ark already lost one and it created major problems.

from the action description yes , she plans to show up kill everyone then leave to force Alyssa to strain her forces as she would then need to reoccupy it pronto with more troops than last time as well
 
I'm just scared of what destruction of another Anchorstone will bring.

And scared that someone in it's security force will be dumb/desperate enough to go for self-destruction.
 
Assuming Alyssa runs low/out of her coven, will that mean she will run out of means to keep daemons active and coming?
 
Deep down in the darkness in the old growths where the green moon shines and Herdstones emanate the foulness of the Dark Gods into the world, many things can grow strong supping from evil.

And where a Chaos Beast would eat only flesh, preferably fresh, the hogs from Hell root around in the dirt as well as partake of meat.

Holy Cow:oops2:

That's metal as fuck!
It sounds like the intro to a boss fight or a unit description for a real elite monster in TW:Warhammer.

Or the lyrics for a real good metal song about Daemonic Boars.

Which made me remember somthing from my childhoods stories... I give to you:

Gloson!

"Gloson (pronounced glo-son) is one of the strangest beasts of the Nordic folklore. Those who have seen her (because it's always a she) describes her as a snorting boar with red eyes glowing. The tusks are sharp, and on her back, she has razor-sharp bristles, which can sparkle as fire. Often, she remains around the cairns in the fields, but she can also roam around on the country roads at night. At regular intervals, she seeks graveyards to sharpen her bristles against the gravestones.

Gloson can hurt people by running straight towards them and between their legs, cutting them in two down the middle with her razor sharp back. If you happen to her, it is therefore best to cross your legs because then she runs past."
 
Assuming Alyssa runs low/out of her coven, will that mean she will run out of means to keep daemons active and coming?

I think it's likely. Fire and food option on voting choices say "The daemons might not need food or water, but the Druchii damned well do, and without the latter, they cannot sustain the presence of the former.". So unless that herald manages to stabilize the portal further and keep throwing sacrifices, daemons will start to have a harder time staying around as time passes. Without sorceresses and cultists to keep things float,big portal may even end up like the one in the arena.
 
Nah, big ass portal at the Temple of Khaine still
at that point the surviving dark elves in opposition against Alyssa and the cults of pleasure plus whatever priestess they can find will march on the despoiled temple of khaine to banish the greater demon ,seal the warp rift and finish off the remining pleasure cultist dark elves because druchi superiority complex means they will automatically view them as the greater threat since they are dark elves , giving Natasha and the slaves a free hand to act

Sure would be nice if thats what happened, right?
 
I suppose they could ignore the greater demons , warp rift and dark elf pleasure cultists to hunt down escaped slaves spending weeks tracking them down from the countless spots they could hide in within the near depopulated war-ravaged ark instead I guess

The thing is, those anti-Alyssa Druichii are barely holding on at the moment: they just don't have the capacity and manpower for that kind of offensive.

The only way any marching against Alyssa might happen, is if the portal in the temple of Khaine gets closed, leaving the pleasure cultists without their demonic allies.
