Black Legion shenanigans:

 

Battle forged 3 CP

Batallion 3 CP

Abby 2 CP

 

This is not (only) about stratagems, but Aux Detachments.

 

Say -2 CP for Alpha Legion Zerkers or Warplamer Rubrics (-1 Aux, -1 infilstrat), close in, kill things dead.

 

Or -1 CP for WE bikers, NL nurgle raptors, IW deredeo, etc.

 

And you still have CP to spend on stratagems or re-rolls.

Oh, what a bummer. I thought it would be a way to make use of those extra CPs Abby gets.

 

You can always take a single HQ and a couple of units of Cultists to enable you to take your AL berzerkers and suchlike. Alpha Legion cultists will be pretty great for holding backline objectives with the -1 to hit and the cultist wave stratagem anyway so it isn't much of a tax. 

 

Incidentally I love how the Legion traits let us change the role of units slightly to fit the army. Zerks for instance. AL berzerkers are all about the turn 1 charge and disrupting the enemy line. NL zerks are about inflicting casualties on multiple morale-vulnerable units and forcing them to run off the table. WE zerks are chaff-disposal (well, anything disposal really if you pop the VOTLW strat). IW Zerks can be made fearless and act as a very nasty tarpit unit.
