Do the Wardens have any 'heavy hitters' left? [Some PT Spoilers]

Can Eb be considered a Warden? He was heading up the security and seemed to be in charge of them. He is a very heavy hitter.

Those were the Wardens who were already present to act as security for the Senior Council members attending the talks. They were in the room when LTW promised to "summon" a "complement" of wardens to contribute to the defense, so I'd assume more are on the way.
(Although time is short, so who knows if any will arrive in time -- or how senior or heavy-hitting they'll be. I'd imagine Edinburgh is locked down hard right now. With an attack on the Peace Talks and an attack on the Outer Gates, everyone in the supernatural world has to be worried about an attack during the big distraction.)
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Wardens are seriously underpowered to police the world, not just individual power but numbers. No wonder Harry recruits a mob. The Wardens need to recruit a National Guard of Paranetters and clued up vanilla mortals to aid in major emergencies. Sounds like a job for Murphy.

Yeah, but will she do it? She might view recruiting fighters as an effort to keep her safe.. From the trailer, she either was cured by some miracle because she seems to be in the middle of the fight, or it is misleading. You point out one of the flaws of Peace Talks, it does little to set up a plausible defense, the Wardens seemed more worried about what Harry was up to than setting up good security for the talks. Hell, they didn't even have any stone Foo Dogs to check out the attendees.

The wardens weren't in charge of security for the talks -- just security for the Senior Councilors who attended. Marcone was in charge of overall security -- hence, what's-his-name with the living dog and all the einherjar who get gunned down like useless redshirts by the fomor mooks.
(click to show/hide)Re: Murphy, hard to say. In the Battle Ground trailer she's there at Harry's side when he is giving the recruitment speech to Will and the parenetters at Mac's. But we also see her shouldering a big RPG thingy. So who knows. If they're also recruiting the Chicago PD, I'd think she'd be a natural liaison, but how can she resist using that big RPG thingy that she's had in the attic forever just waiting for the right occasion to use it.

My question is, how is she able to do it in the first place? The RPG thingy has weight, and I doubt are totally without a kick of some sort. Her shoulder and arm are still injured, so how does she manage that? To ride a motorcycle requires balance, which is difficult to maintain if one has crippling injuries especially with a big man like Harry sitting behind you. Not to mention that it isn't going to be a clear straight street that she'd be driving down. Dodging and turning and jumping over with the bike requires strength to compensate, she isn't in the shape she was in in Cold Days.

Yeah, Vadderung and Gard ought to be ashamed of themselves.. The dead warriors they picked to go to Vahalla to fight in the final battle are next to useless.. Unless it was all a set up and a diversion. Which brings me back to the continual whine about the Senior Council suddenly wanting to kick Harry out of the White Council and demote him back to apprentice? What's the point of that?
