>>5222422Hmmm, its a pity we didn't also consider deploying large scale minefields close to the mandeville point. But maybe we already are and its just part of the background.
>>5222424Oh this is neat, POV to front line soldiers. I'm guessing this is those forward planetary/space station defenses? Or is this a gun battery on the Blackstone Fortress itself.
What kind of gun are we talking here, this isn't the supermassive blackstone fortress main weapon is it? Or is it one of the Macro-Cannons/Las batteries?
Eitherway
>Prepare for a defence of the neighboring hallwaysI really hope it doesn't come to the Orks attacking the Blackstone Fortress already, or worse one of the four big huge gun which I wasn't even aware was operational but by the time giant roks or ships have penetrated the shields to smash into the gun areas, more than likely the weapons will be unoprational and not able to fire or just plain clogged by debris. Furthermore when they crash into the forward gun batteries there's an explosion risk to anything we put around the guns themselves.
So defending the hallways, bulkhead doors, and other chokepoints and defensible positions would be the way to go. It could keep the Orks from spreading from one gun battery to another via the hallways. Ideally they would already have turrets and other defenses already set up, but it could be we are short on time for that. Maybe they can at least set up a lot of Tarantula-Turrets if we didn't have time for built in shooters on the walls and ceiling.
