Can the royal court be a unit that an hq can join?

If so, could I put orikan with an eternity cryptek who has a chronometron to let orikan re roll his empowered special rule each turn?

How is deep striking on the enemy turn beneficial? (like how deathmarks can)

yes to the first two questions

The last question is still up for debate, but most people think it will be answered with 6th edition.

With units that cannot shoot (Flayed Ones) it has the advantage of not having to reserve role for that unit, without any real disadvantages (they were going to shoot at you first anyway).

Outside of that though, the jury is still out.

Currently, deep striking in your opponent's turn lets you move and shoot as normal in your own. But that's about it.

I'd imagine in 6th, just from how Deathmarks come across to me, it would allow you to show up near someone coming out of reserve and then get a Defensive Fire action against them (assuming the leak is true).

Cool thanks guys
