Just playing around with new ideas and this one sounded fun to me.
start with centurions on the board turn one and drop in 3 drop pods turn 1.

Depending on deployment + mission loth would either take Gate for the 24" move and using 1 out of the 2 drop pods with locator beacons to accurately Deep strike OR Biomancy to rack up iron arm, endurance and his 2++ invun to keep the cents safe as they walk the green mile.

fire raptor for AA A/MEQ and Storm talon for AA.

Dreadnaught is for a distraction and incase i need to eradicate a tank or lock down a MC but i would be open to swapping this out for something if you've got suggestions!

thanks for reading, hope you think its cool!

You won't be able to use the beacon on the first turn because the beacon has to be on the table for a full turn before it can be used. So porting with loth on t1 will be up to chance on where you land.

yeah i know googled that very question this morning haha!

Alternatively you could take prescience, precognition, and perfect timing on Loth. That way he could tank for the Cents with a rerollable 2++, and either grant them twin linked or ignores cover depending on what you need more.

Can he take div? Didn't think he could!

Oh snap, I think I was wrong. Too bad though: he could be tanky as hell!

Hey, he's still an absolute mammoth with biomancy!

True, but you won't be benefitting from that to the fullest if you're running him with Cents. They'd still be majority T5
