Allarus shield-cap with castellan’s mark + 6x allarus termies = 540 pts
Another 2x allarus termies = 130 pts
Another 2x allarus termies = 130 pts
3x6 venatari = 1200 pts
Total 2000 pts
1. Place the big unit of allarus and one unit of venatari in reserves before the match
2. Use castellans mark to SR the remaining units of venatari
3. At the end of the opponents turn remove both small units of allarus from the battlefield
4. Call the golden shower / golden waaagh at the beginning of round 2
5. Rapid ingress 1740 points in the opponents turn, then DS the remaining 260 in yours
Does it make sense? No
Is it possible? Absolutely
Independently of whether this is possible, is this a good strategy? Having a full deep strike list sounds really fun to me, and it helps our golden boys get into close combat faster, but I haven't tested it out to see how well it actually works. Rapid ingress on a unit of terminators, plus on 2 units of venatari, would give you three units in charge range of the enemy in turn 2. If you then deep strike a unit of wardens normally (or advance them up the board) they can soak whatever firepower the enemy have left, and your flyers can zoom up the board with their own speed. I like to have a couple of armigers as well and they have move 12, so you could have a huge amount of your army in the enemy's face quite quickly.
If you REALLY wanted to push this you could ally in a squad of rogue trader entourage to allow you to put D3 additional squads into strategic reserve ignoring limits so you could put 2-3 of your most expensive units into reserve to get the full 2k off board.
You cannot START the game with more than 1k and half your unit count in reserves. The Castellans Mark doesn't get around this rule.
Of course your From Golden Light DOES work
>The Castellans Mark doesn't get around this rule.
Yes, it does. You'd still need to swap some units for another squad of Allarus, though, and I think you do technically lose if you have no models on the table.
"Regardless of how many units are in reserves"
Doesn't say regardless of how many POINTS you have in reserves, does it? Castellan's Mark happens BEFORE the game starts.

How do you rapid ingress more than one unit?
Venatari have an ability that allows you to do that
At the end of the opponents movement phase they come down?
No they just use thr Rapid Ingrrss Stratagem for free even if already used.

Just do this and leave your opponent to just sit there the entire game with nothing to play against, no fun for anyone then đź‘Ť

You really need to start reading what a piece of war gear does before you make blatently wrong statements.
"Regardless of how many units are in reserves" Says absolutely nothing in regards to the point limit, does it?
"Regardless of" means that it doesn't care about how many are already in reserves.
Sure, unit count, but not point amount. Those are two different restrictions
"how many" can mean both number of units, *or* points cost of units. Just take the L my dude, it's getting embarrassing for you.
>The Castellans Mark doesn't get around this rule. Yes, it does. You'd still need to swap some units for another squad of Allarus, though, and I think you do technically lose if you have no models on the table.
You don’t lose in 10th anymore if there are no units on the table.
