Played against someone in a tournament that reserved three wave serpents and their contents.

2nd turn he roll's 3 dice, gets no reserves in.

3rd turn he roll's 3 dice again and gets in two dire avenger squads. He then proceeds to start placing the dire avengers on the table away from the wave serpent. So I comment on the fact that since he only rolled one dice the dire avenger squads have to come in the table mounted in their wave serpent (there were things he actually could have assaulted). Was it correct of me to do so?

Then on the 4th turn he rolls 2 dice for his wave serpent and squad of banshee's and proceed's to place them separately on the table. I of course say that you can't do that because you've been rolling for them as one unit the whole time. He disagree's, I let it go because I'm going to win the game anyways but I'm still pretty sure you can't do that.

So do you have to declare if a unit is in their dedicated transport at the time you reserve them? Can you decide later? Am I completely off base saying you have to declare them when you reserve them and can't change your mind later?

P94 BRB, Reserves, makes this more than abundantly clear

During deployment, when declaring which units are left
in reserve, the player must clearly explain the
organisation of his reserves to the opponent

....the player must specify if any transport vehicle
in reserve is carrying any of the infantry units and/or
independent characters in reserve. If they do, the unit
and the transport will be rolled for together and will
arrive together.

Hardcover rulebook ftw.

If it happened in a tourney - call the ref.

Then when his/her back is turned, belt the miscreant with the book anyway.

Why wait for the Judge to turn around? Well, I mean if I was the judge, I'd not give two hoots about you belting him

But to answer the OP: Gorkamorka has it 100% Spot on.
