I don't play much AM, I have a few squads to support various SM lists, and I certainly can't field this army, but I thought I'd make it to poke a little fun at the balance this FAQ was hoping to achieve. This list follows all the new beta rules, including the rule of three and tactical reserves. 9 basilisks with a plethora of screening, 14 mortars, and 39 BS 3+ re rolling 1's overcharged plasma shots arriving on turn 2. 13 CP which is still more than enough because we got the CP farm going (Grand Strategist + Kurov's Aquila). This was made quickly, I'm sure they're plenty of ways to tweak and optimize this further. I just wanted to make sure we're all aware what kinds of lists are still fully functional in a world where GK and BA just had to be stopped.

You don't have enough of a screen and I don't think you will be able to hide that many basilisks out of LOS.

50 Guardsmen plus 9 heavy weapons teams should be more than enough of a screen if you max measure going horizontally and vertically and congo line everything. I already simulated the measurements on my home tabletop in case I face something like this. Also remember that with no turn 1 deep strikes, your screening becomes much easier to utilize, as they can't be caught off guard on turn 1, and will always have at least 1 turn to spread out further.

I honestly wasn't even thinking I was going to try and hide all 9 Basilisks lol. If you can hide some of them great, but you're bringing 9 Basilisks! they don't need to all be hidden to be effective.

How do you get 39 BS 3+ plasma shots from this list? I see 36.

The secret to painting a really big army is to keep at it. You can't reach your destination if you never take any steps.

I build IG...lots and lots of IG.
