There is nothing at all deployed on the table at the start of the game. 100% null deployment. If it looks advantageous, I will let my opponent go first in order to waste a turn of his shooting. On my first turn, the Skyhammer formation hits the ground accompanied by the triple Ironclads. The Devastators combat squad, with 2 grav cannons and 3 meat shields in each unit. This lets me shoot at (and cause super-pinning) 4 different targets with 10 grav shots each that reroll everything. Also hitting infantry targets with 10 flamer templates (6 heavy 4 regular). The Assault Squads will then charge and tie up any survivors or even try to put some melta bombs on a couple vehicles.
After this alpha-strike, there are now multiple powerful close-range shooting units and dangerous assault threats in close proximity to the enemy forces. The plan is to hit them hard enough on arrival that their response to the extreme threat saturation will be crippled.
Second turn is where I plan to "break their back" under the pressure of all the threats. After another round of grav and flamers in addition to the arrival of reinforcement pods and fire support/air superiority craft, the Ironclads will start trying to get into assault and overrun their lines.
That is the general plan, but I have lots of flexibility and control in deciding which pods come in on which turn, if for instance my opponent has some deployment shenanigans of their own.
What do y'all think?
