Got a couple tricks up my sleeve here:

Foretelling of Locus: let's me redeploy up to 3 core units or put them in reserves. More than likely, at least in my next game, I'll put the two big GKSS in reserve and deepstrike them in turn 2. Found out the painful way that if GKSS aren't hiding out of los they get shot off the board pretty easily. At least this way they're protected for a turn.

Librarian bomb: He's going to probably go into reserve and DS in and cause a massive amount of MWs. Figure I'll spend a cp to let him cast Purge Smite, and vortex. I wanted to give him Gem of Inoktu for +2 to cast but BattleScribe wouldn't give the librarian access to Wisdom of the Prognosticators.

Callidus Assassin does her Reign of Confusion so on a 4+ my opponents strats cost him +1CP. I know that would drive me crazy. Might even be for 2 turns if I think it's doing anything. Then she pops in and hopefully causes some amount of panic.

The GMNDK shunts over turn 1 and one of the NDKs is gated over along with him while the other two pick up the rear. They'll pick a juicy target and hit 'em with Mark for Death and cast Empyric Loadstone. That's gotta hurt being shot up by at least 2 NDKs more if needed. Probably a smite in there too.

The remaining characters will move up the center as quickly as they can I guess.

The 2 5-man GKSS will sit back and probably raise banners and hold objectives.

Any other tricks/strategies I should be employing? Only played one GK game so far in the past couple of years so not sure what the new hotness is yet.

Consider a Chappie instead of a Bro-Cap. With the Rapiers Strat+Power, the Chappie's Word of Power has an absurd damage potential.
