Claim that Daemons can't Deep Strike Assault. Obviously, it benefits you - but it's not fluffy, it's not fair, and it's actually not true. If you look at Jump Infantry, for example Space Marine Assault Squads (the example in the PS book) they do not say in their profile they can Deep Strike. They receive this ability because they are Jump Infantry. This is common knowledge. Checking the JI rules, however, does not give them a rule called 'Deep Strike' just the ability to use the DS rules. This is no different to Daemons. Page 13 of the Planetstrike book states "a Space Marine Assault Squad could both shoot its bolt pistols and launch an assault the turn it enters play."

Im not exactly sure what ur saying here but in a normal game these units cannot assault after deep striking TMK theres a rule in planetsrike that allows these units to assault after deep striking .

That's exactly what I'm saying, this part of the article only refers to Planetstrike, and cannot be ported over to regular 40k.

I thought it was common knowledge that units that can normally DS can DSA in PS...

I saw a Bloodthirster Deep Strike then assault yesterday so yea as for no deep striking then assault I think hes wrong.

I recommend creating a house rules stratagem for Chaos as the attacker that isn't rubbish.

What does that even mean?

It means this:

There is such a strategem.
It blows.
Create your own, that doesn't Fail.

Simple.

Don't use any of those damn walls. They're worthless.

If you try and put anybody on them they'll get blasted by a million basilisk shots. When you then decide not to put anybody on them, you'll realize that they're easy as hell to hop right over, and they give your enemies cover.
