if you have a pathfinder team, couldn't you field the devilfish seperate and have a fire warrior team inside it?

Nope. It's a dedicated transport.

It doesn't state it as a dedicated transport. It just says they may take it as a transport.

Which makes it a dedicated transport. Meaning you cannot start another unit in it, but you can embark them turn 1.

Nosferatu is correct. In fact, a common tactic is to take one or two PF squads and give their identically-priced D'fish(s) (with the deep strike beacon) to FW squad(s) turn 1.

Basically, with dedicated transports, you buy the transport for a specific squad, and only that squad can DEPLOY inside of it. You can, however, deploy it without the squad inside and embark a different squad turn 1.

The only disadvantage to this is you won't be able to disembark and shoot with that squad turn 1, since they've already moved.

what he said. except for who is embarked pregame/during deployment, dedicated transports are just like regular ones. if you're going mech tau, just put the pathfinder devilfish in front of the FW squad and embark on turn one.

For clarity, this is explained in the first line of the 'Dedicated Transport' entry on page 67 of the rulebook.
