I usually deploy in the center so the characters in the SW can escape to the corners. With banishment and the RBTs, I can potentially snipe one chariot/chimera or even the DP in one turn. A SD-FP-SH combo charge devastates skullcrushers/warriors, and it's easy to set up because the hounds get removed by the archers fairly fast.
But it's just so much to deal with. If I don't manage to get banishment through early or miss a lot with the RBTs, then everything just falls apart, and I get overrun. It's so hard to keep the RBTs and archers safe against the DP/chimeras while I try to stop the advancing chariots/skullcrushers/warriors.
How would you play this? Should I keep the SD and FP back to protect the archers against the chimeras/DP and delay the skullcrusher/warrior/chariots with the helms, reavers, and shooting? Should I deploy more to one corner and risk getting my characters in the SW caught?

We play with 50/50 lords and heros. Sometimes I swap out the book + scroll of shielding for powerstone on the AM + eagle.
Againt SK, OK, VC, OnG, EMP (which I mainly face) it works surprisingly well but I struggle a lot against WoC.
The Woc list looks something like this:
tzeentch deamon prince
nurgle warriors
bsb
mage with dispell scroll
2 chariots
2 chariots
2 hounds
2 chimeras
3 skullcrusher
