Captain Dominius Quintis, 3rd Company Imperial Fists, reporting

I've been in contact with chapters I've served with in the past. However most can only spare a few squads at best. This does take my current 380 marines up to 450 marines. Also they will bring their own imperial guard regiments. This means my allies and I can bring about 20 Imperial guard regiments, or 100,000 guardsmen approximatley. Also I've organised for a Reaver Battle Titan.

Although preparin for the next Hive Fleet is important, Leviathan is a priority. We need to figh back an soon, otherwise It'll be too late. With every world they consume they get stronger.

Cleary very few, if any, opponent can match the Swarmlord alone. I believe a good ranged attack would severly hinder the beast, especially if caught in the open, especially if the right ammunition is used. But I believe we can't permantley kill the beast unless we take out the norn queens. And to do that we need to get past their hive fleet.

This war is going to be a tough one, theres no denying that, but we need to agree on an approach. Its all good when we discuss who has what weapon and who hasn't turned up, but we need to plan how the current forces at our disposal willbe most effective against the Tyranids. I know we have discussed how to take care of th Norn Queens, but we need to discuss the war on a grand scale. Who'll fight alongside who and other matters.
