I would say destroyed and i play it that way. and i do use outflank sometimes.

I would vote with option 5. They stay in reserve. Otherwise, they come in on the controlling player's board edge.

Wiping them out makes no real sense. They are outflanking to get to the enemy, why would they suddenly be destroyed?

Or they arrive during the Assault Phase instead, attacking the unit blocking them.

Destroyed IMO. If a unit can't be placed, its destroyed, it doesn't have to tell you its destroyed, the other rules don't allow you to place it, and it has to come on, so its...dead.

I'll admit I don't quite see the reason this come sup, if you're facing nob biker and plan to outflank everything, you're getting what you deserve when it happens. The truth of it is, half the outflankers out there are jump/skimmer/jetbike/etc. and can just hop over the side blocking unit. The other half you should know better than to declare as outflanking in the game against the guy who can block you.

Moral: If you don't want this to come up and likely have it be declared "destroyed", then just don't outflank in the game where you'll get caught with the tactic. Infiltrate or scout.

No, you're an a$$ that wears a hat...

But I do agree with the logic behind that ruling.

Destroyed
