Okay can I buy a ten man thunderhammer and SS squad with a Redeemer then buy a Redeemer with my Heavy Support Slot and combat squad to start the game with all ten terminators inside a Landraider redeemer

No the CS using the non ded LR would have to embark on turn one.

No. You cannot take a transport for a unit if the unit won't fit inside it.

At least, that is my understanding. Either way, a unit can't start a game deployed in a transport that is not its dedicated transport.

Wrong, again.

Also Incorrect.

A Unit may buy a Transport even if it cannot fit in it, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. A lot of Old codex's have this restriction, but none of the new ones do (hence 10 man Squads can buy Razorbacks). Furthermore, a Squad may begin in any non dedicated Transport they want.

So yes, you may have one Combat Squad in your dedicated Redeemer, and the other in a Heavy Support One.

Did you mean 5 to an LRR?

Yes 5 to a LR redeemer ; it was my understanding during deployment I could split into two 5 man squads and put one of the 5 man squads in the LRR bought as a Dedicated Transport and the other 5 in the LRR bought as a heavy support choice.

And you would be correct in that understanding

Are these a 10 man TERMINATOR TH+SS squad?
Then they won't fit in the redeemer anyway (Terminators are a two-fer, taking up two spots per model. SM have no 20 man transports - outside of a thunderhawk - which is a 30). The most you can fit into one (Land Raider) is 8 (transport 16). They can buy a transport (if allowed), but may not use (embark and ride) it until either CSed or have taken sufficient casualties to warrant hiding in the can.

I have to ask... did you even read the post you quoted?

Although, according to the letter of the rules, you could not come on from reserve like that. (they don't split until deployment so they can't get into the transports in reserve)

I've never found an opponent with any problem with it. Most are astonished that it's not allowed when I tell them about it.

No, you cant do this from reserves, you can deploy it though no problem.
