Say for example, a Furioso Dreadnought takes a Drop Pod, does it count as having deep striked, or does it count as having left transport, the turn it is deployed?

I was just reading that a Drop Pod is Open-Topped and it hit me, that unless the models in the Drop Pod count as having Deep Striked, that may assault that turn.

Models in vehicles that enter via deepstrike (i.e. drop pods) are considered to have entered via deep strike themselves. Therefore, no move (except for disembarkation) and no assault.

Thanks, ive always played that way anyway, its just occured to me

The Drop Pod rules also specify that models may not assault the turn they arrive...
