This also has some Guard (duh) and Assassins. I had a very successful time with a list similar to this, but I've dropped and reworked a few things due to the FAQ.

My first thought is, starting with 13CPs, do I even need the Guard gimmicks anymore? Is a GK Warlord worth it now??? I could still take the Relic (since I have zero spots for a GK relic) and get back ~3CPs. But the Guard Warlord will statistically get me 4CPs from my starting 13.
With fewer charges going in, the Warlord reroll on those few ones seems like a good move....

My second is, boo 15 drops. I've gone up considerably (from 12 in the previous iteration). But it's the best I can do I think.

The Callidus and Culexus have been performing very well for me. The Beta Deep Strike will hamper them a lot. I think I could still reasonably deploy the Culexus on the line and have him advance in order to exert some control on board center. The Callidus obviously won't come in till T2, but her CP shenanigans still work T1.

Previously, I teleported 2 GMDKs, 1-2 GKSS, and Draigo into the enemy lines. Now I'll have one GMDK and two GKI supporting my Raven. One GKSS will be in reserve with the second GMDK, and two GKSS will be in the Raven.
The Vindicares are a replacement for the loss of the GMDK and Callidus alpha. I can still theoretically threaten enemy buffs with two of these guys.

I could take an Apothecary with Soul Glaive instead of a Vindicare (exact same cost) and stick in the Raven. He's a baby beatstick, although a 5++ is not good (and the GMDKs will be using Sanctuary and Prognosticators).

So, thoughts? This is my attempt at still having a combat Alpha, bc if I don't have that I absolutely cannot withstand the alpha gunline.
