Two simple questions.

1) When is a deep strike mishap triggered?

2) Did I read some where that deep strike and infiltrate are active rules in all games?

1) A Mishap is triggered whenever *any* of the models in the deep striking unit cannot be placed because they would land off the table, in impassable terrain, on top of a friendly model, or within 1" of an enemy model.

2) Yes.

A followup question...
Will there in 5th be units that cant deepstrike even though they have the rule as in 4th?

In 4th you placed the marker, if you could not fit all the models in the unit under the marker then bad things happened, oddly enough some units that allowed deepstriking, daemons as an example, could be bought in a quantity that ment models would always have to be placed outside of the marker.

Have they fixed this proper?

1, Your guess is ag odd as ours. Currently, if your codex says you can deepstrike, then you can. We'll have to see what the 5th ed update FAQs say.

2. ?? Ummmm, that's 3rd ed rules you're talking about. 4th ed didn't use the large blast marker........................ So yes, they fixed it in 4th. Looks like it's OK in 5th as well.

I doubt any unit is going to lose abilities until a Codex comes out for their army.

Possibly barring inquisition forces, since I think they are several years out (at which point they'll be removed from the game in my opinion).

Odd, you are right, the filling circles if for 4th, I could have sworn the template was for 4th and the circles was for third... odd that.

But then I havent used deepstrike much as Im mainly focosed on playing orks.
