So If i can choose to seperate a unit from its dedicated transport in reserve can i choose to deepstrike, infiltrate , scout the unit if they have the ability to do so as long as i tell my opponent at beginning?,

**Steelmage99**

Yes, as long as the unit in question has the ability to Scout/Outflank/Deep Strike/Infiltrate to begin with, doesn't automatically lose it (or never gain it) when buying a transport and you clearly state who is doing what.

Are you thinking along the lines of Infiltrating Striking Scorpions while their transport begins in Reserve (or simply on the table)?

**Scott-S6**

Absolutely, they are two entirely separate units and act independently. If deployed separately then they may both use whatever deployment options are available to them.

Also note that you may put one, both or neither into reserve.

you do realize that if you want to they can Outflank with the transport correct?

**BlueDagger**

He wants to leave the transport in the deployment zone for the harlequins to jump in turn one.

**Scott-S6**

This is absolutely fine - just remember that if the harlies embark before the serpent moves then it can still move but cannot go flat-out (so no 4+ flat-out save in the opponent's turn following)

Also remember that if a unit has a transport and wishes to Outflank with it, they can ONLY arrive embarked upon it. This is a special restriction for Outflanking with a transport (p.95). If you don't want your transport to Outflank, however, you could leave it in your DZ or have it come on from your table edge as normal.
