A simple concept. Three pods will drop turn one - the extra two drop pod stay in reserve either empty or full. I'm not sure whether I can drop the whole army in from reserve with 6ed so I had to modify the list from 5ed.

Now I have more models to expand but I'm not sure how to go about it. I have used pretty much all my GH and WG. What is left are two pods, a multi-melta dread, 3 LG w/ HBs, and 1 LG with PC plus about another ten =12 GH with various loadouts (2 MotW, 4 pfists and regular marines). It might be better to add allies at 1860-2000. I have a distinct lack of AA - an I'm not sure it easily corrected with SW. It seems my one weakness although at 1500 I can deal with it. I can alweays join my RP to my LGs if needed for rerolls but that is hardly a solution. Overall I think the list has a bit of potential with the models I have. I am willing to purchase a few extra models but money is tight so a major revamp is not in the cards.

While your drop pods do not count towards what needs to be deployed, the units inside do, as there is no rule that says the unit you bought the drop pod for needs to be deployed via it. So, discounting the pods, at least 3 units must be deployed before turn one starts, or else, by rule, you automatically forfeit the game. "Null deployment" is no longer a thing.

Understood. I am going to deploy three pods turn one and two pod empty when I get my reserve roll.

The way I read the Null deploment was that if you had nothing on the table "at the end of your turn" you forfiet?

You are wrong about the unit embarked upon it. on page 36 in the BRB 2nd paragraph on deepstriking units embarked upon them are ignored.

I.m confused as well. Was it ever FaQed? If not I could drop three pods and then two after with my troops. I don't think it matters much with this list though. Either way has its strengnths and weaknesses. Of course the problem is still my two ICs - one must start on the table regardless. So dropping empty pods would seem best - I could start one unit on the table - Rune Priest's. I could then deploy three pods turn one and an empty pod and another pod with the plasma GH can arrive later from reserves.
