Bringing on reserves is not something that can delayed. As per page 124 BRB you move a unit on when it arrives. If it arrives is determined by the roll. I dont see permission to delay the arriving unitl after other effects were resolved at all.

You are suggesting:

1. Roll for reserves
2. Roll for outflank
3. use other abilites at the start of your turn
4. bring on the units.

Wheres your permission to use abilites while doing reserves? The BrB tells us to bring units on when they arrive. Not wait until some other yadda is done. The faq allows me to do star of turn stuff (including reserves) in any order i wish to (while still of course having to resolve each of them completely before moving on to the next). This faq wouldnt have any effect if completing the reserves procedure would mark the end of the start of your movement.

Simple and wrong, as the FAQ does NOT creat e abreak betewen rolling for which side Outflank occurs on and bringing the unit on to that side, tehn rolling next Outflank. It does exactly what it tells you, and no more - that all rolls for Reserves and Outflank are simultaneous.

You are literally making up rules if you add in a break.

Nosferatu1001,
I have seen the logic behind their argument a few times before and while I do not agree with it I can see where it is coming from. The argument appears to be base all around the lack of a stated point in the time line when the unit in question 'arrives.' It is true that the rule doesn't inform us the unit 'arrives at the start of the turn' just that it 'arrives this turn.' They put forth that this creates a break in the time line and the rest of the rule can not continue until other rules resolve, because they have higher priority in the timeline. The problem is, as Mywik states, there is nothing in the rule that states the rest of the rule is occurring at a different point in the time-line aside from this 'suggestion.' It is far more likely that the rest of the rule triggers like normal because it is within the same body of text, unless something very specific over-writes it.

As for people whom hold the theory that they are seperate points in the time line I have a few questions:
When do these units come in from Reserves?
Page and paragraph number to inform me of the time line point I clearly over looked

Can I force my opponent to bring them in at the End of the Combat Phase?
That is still 'this turn' after all
Or is it the person whom is deploying choice when they arrive?
So that way I can just say I am deploying them immediately on the end of the roll, giving them the highest priority.

Models move on when they arrive, per the Reserve rules. So waiting to move them on is breaking rules.
Don't break rules - follow them.
