Example. A squad of assault marines trading their jump-packs for a Drop-Pod. Does the Drop Pod get to reroll failed Reserve Rolls and only roll 1d6 for scatter, does the same apply to Deep Striking Land-Raiders taken by Assault Marines?

Nothing currently in the rules prevents this, if anyone could help with a few second opinions (I am of the opinion that it DOES NOT confer DoA to the Xport) and a bit of backup (as to why it does not) I (and my gaming group) would be most appreciative.

No, it doesn't. Does the transport have a jumppcak? No. Does anything say that DoA is conferred to a transport that a DoA capable unit is embarked in? No. Simply put, nothing says it does confer, so it doesn't.

Agreed. For this to be True, Ultramarines Land Raiders can Teleport into battle with Terminators Inside and Imperial Guard Chimeras have Stealth if the Unit inside has Camo Cloaks.

I may just looking at this as a hopeful, but from the GW Dark Angles FAQ (page 3) it clearly states that the embarked troops can’t assault as they have deployed by deep strike that turn and troops that deep strike can’t assault. Why is this big deal? Because it clearly labels the method on which embarked troops deploy by the transport they are in – deep strike.

DoA isn’t lost by a unit when they trade in their jump pack, right? But the unit did lose the ability to deep strike without them. The Drop pod gave them back that deployment method. I agree with the others, the pod gives them Deep strike, but does not have the DoA special rule. I just wanted to point out where confusion could come from.

I'll add another agreement. Without any specific rules supporting the transfer, there's nothing suggesting the ability transfers or should transfer to the transport.
Permissive ruleset, etc. etc.

I don't own the codex. What does the decent of angels rule say exactly?

ex. If the rule says something like "infantry with jump packs that deepstrike..." then it is clear they need to have jump packs. But, if it doesn't mention jump packs in the rule and only mentions "deepstrike" or something, then there maybe something to this.

I gotta put this in my sig.
