>>5227973>Write-InI do not know if that will happen this turn but:
-When we have Carne and Warboss deployed on the field imo.
-When we can confirm that, and the Fortress is ready, we activate it.
If we have the Main Gun armed, we shoot it at their flagships
It will be a great test run of what the effects of the main gun will be. My prediction is that since the original Blackstone Fortress fired positive warp energy, which is destructive just like the warp itself, a beam of pure negative warp energy will not interfer or harm matter but instead absolutely devastate organic life. Resulting in ships intact, but any living organisms down to the microbes and any organic components literally having the life expunged out of them. A concentrated Pariah beam.
The perfect Mechanicus weapon! It could even drive out Daemon Viruses.
Even if the main guns don't work, we can still use that opportunity of mass devastation to the fleets to try and kill their leaders. I wonder if activating the Blackstone Fortress will also extend the Mandeville point further out, requiring the ships to travel even further before they can activate their warp drives. Giving us time to hunt them down.
