++ Total: [102 PL, 1997pts] ++

This would give me 13 CP to start with, of which I'd immediately spend:
Open the Vaults - 2 relics for 3CP

During deployment I'd spend another 2CP to give my biker captain victor of the blood games (getting the CP back on a 5+ after my IG warlord is down).

There are some good combos involving the vexilla and teleport homers and I'd be looking to put as close to half my force as possible into reserve ~51PL including the assassins (14PL), the terminators (13PL) and all of my Custodian Guards (24PL).
