Hi

Is it possible to do this? I mean a drop pod can be really close to enemy unit. then the terminators can deep strike within 6 inch of the beacon. Potentially in assault range( I know they cant charge) , yet can they actually assault if very close to enemy unit?

If they are too close the rules for Deepstrike tell you what to do.
Check mishaps under the DS rules.

Ahh yes cant be witinh 1 inch of enemy model.

So in effect you cant assault under any circumstances after a deep strike or drop pod..

Nope, because Deep Strike rules forbid the newly arrived unit to assault in the same turn. You need to stay at least 1" from any enemy unit as soon as you arrive and beyond, until your next turn.

Locator Beacon helps with the non-scattering, nothing more!
