Thinking of deep striking my land raider

[Murphestus]

A list I've had a lot of success with recently has 3 rhinos w/ assault squads and a land raider redeemer (because it's the cheapest) with a lot of DC and a chap inside.

 

In a game against guard or possibly tau where I lose the first turn I am seriously considering deep striking the land raider for the simple fact that the rules seem to allow the LR to hit the table and pop smoke before any mystics would be allowed to fire (or make another unit fire as often the case).

 

Drawback of course being that arrival from reserves is not guaranteed but it is a better alternative to having the LR have to survive two rounds of manticore/medusa fire on my side of the table.

 

The rhinos have little better survivability rate because they can move 18 in from the table edge and then pop smoke.
