Deep Striking

[Valkyrion]

Apologies for the third question of the day, but I'm giving the rulebook a good rereading after taking many things for granted, one of which is deep strike,

Is it right that you can only deep strike once per game? I don't mean the same unit deep striking twice, I mean each and every one of all of your deep striking units must come on together in a Deep Strike Assault?  (p310)

Yes, and also slightly no.

Everything that uses Deep Strike has to be lumped into one Deep Strike Assault. But, things like Subterranean Assault and Drop Pod Assault Assault are their own things.

So if you had 3 pods, 2 units with jump packs and 1 termite, you could have 1 Deep Strike Assault and 1 Subterranean Assault.

Okay, I think I get it - why can't I have a Subterranean Assault, Drop Pod Assault and Deep Strike Assault, though? 
Is it because the Drop Pod themselves have the Deep Strike rule and the Termite doesn't?

Drop Pod assault is only available thrue the RoW.

If you use DropPods outside of it, they come into play vie "normal" Deep Strike.

Oh, you can totally have both a deep strike assault and a subterranean assault in the same list.

Thanks, you've been very helpful.

1 last question - during a disordered deep strike, does the opponent place your guys 18" from where you wanted them, or from where they scattered?

From where they scattered
