Basic question is do landspeeders that deepstrike get a jink save?

Jink pg 38. "A model...that has moved in its movement phase gains a 5+ cover."

Deep Strike pg 36 "In that turn's shooting phase, these units can fire (or run) as normal, and obviously count as having moved in the previous movement phase."

So since it has moved via deep strike and counts as having moved, does it get a jink save? or are they sitting ducks?

Thanks for help in advance.

Deep Strikers arrive during the Movement phase, I think.. If so, they would get Jink

Edit: On page 124 where it talks about fitting models that arrive from Reserve on the board edge, it says "the model cannot move further during the Movement phase"

That, to me, implies that arriving from Reserves happens before the Movement Phase.

But, even though it did not move in the Movement Phase, it counts as having moved in the movement phase when it shoots? Among my group, I'd go ahead and say that means it gets Jink.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Second Edit: Deep Striker entry- Yeah... They totally arrive in the Movement Phase. Plus it says "Obviously count as having moved in the previous Movement Phase."

My reading needs some perfection!

They arrive in the movement phase, and count as having moved (at cruising speed)

Reserves still arrive at the start of the movement phase, and a big clue is in what you quoted. The use of further in "the model cannot move further during the Movement phase" means it has already moved in the movement phase.

The further is not the important part, the latter bit where it tells you deepstrikers count as having moved is.

It is the movement phase an you count as having moved; you have moved in the movement phase(count as = is)
