The setup: A BA player Reserves everything upon setup. 0
His Deathstar unit is a StormRaven carrying a Furiosos Dread and Assault Marines (no jump packs).
Each unit is a seperate line item in the FOC chart (the Raven is NOT a dedicated transport).
Question: Does he have to roll for reserves for each unit, or just one roll for the entire pile?

(EDIT) The same question would apply if i took a second Assault Terminator Squad and a second Land Raider as a Heavy choice.

When you place a transport and unit(s) (dedicated or not) into Reserve, then from that point forward, those units are tied to each other until they enter play.

You make one Reserves roll for the Storm Raven. When the Storm Raven enters play, it enters play with any units that the controlling player declared were embarked on it before play began.

You do NOT get to make a reserves roll for every unit embarked on a transport.

Furthermore you can NOT decide after-the-fact that you do not want a unit in reserve to be embarked on a transport anymore. For example, you fail your Reserves roll for the Storm Raven on Turn 2. You cannot say "Well, I really want that Furioso Dread to come into play now, so I'll just roll Reserves for the Dread by itself and bring it on from the table edge".

No, if you are embarked on a transport of any kind you only make one reserve roll.

95 is deep striking. 94 is reserves.
