The faq has eliminated the T1 alpha strike . And there is much rejoicing. But there are a few ways to still apply that early pressure , and this list looks at a few.

Renegades ... khorne ogryns in a valkyrie can still achieve a really long t1 charge. Bit of risk , but plenty of cpsfor rerolls.

Alpha legion , can still Infiltrate with thier stratagem, which is pretty great. Also have Arkos who can infiltrate on his own rules. Also they can move straight away so can warptime happily.

Also, infiltrating alpha legion characters can summon.
Summon units aren't reserves, so don't count against your deployment limit. So you can get a decent amount of summoned stuff out from T1. (Can't get character support for the daemons tho, open to ideas here)

Yes the world eaters are silly, no they aren't illegal. Favour a solid troop over legion traits in this set up.
