So in a non-competitive game I'm looking to try out something like this:

Ghost Ark
1 Veiltek with staff
2 Chronotek
2 Stormtek

The idea here is to deep strike the ark near vehicles and light them up. Use chronometron to increase survivability of the ark by rerolling jink rolls. 8 haywire shots should take out any other vehicle in one turn along with the shots from the ark. If the other vehicle is an open-topped transport, try to hit them with the abyssal staff first to kill stuff inside before it wrecks. If there are any flaws with this or rules I am missing, like if the ark can't use the chronometron rerolls, then please let me know.

Why do you think that the Ghost Ark is considered to be a part of the Cryptek unit?

I figured it would be joined to them, like an IC joining a squad. I couldn't find anything in the rulebook. So the unit wouldn't be able to use the veil with the ark because it counts as a separate unit even though a unit is embarked on it? Thanks for the clarification...

Independent Characters can join other units. They cannot, however, join units that contain vehicles or Monstrous Creatures.

Joining a unit and embarking on a transport are two different things.

Yep

A unit in a transport is a unit in another model - they do not become one unit together.

For a second there, I thought someone may have figured out a way to deep strike Ghost Arks!

Not that that would be a good idea, mind you, but the concept was interesting.

Yep! neat idea, but dedicated transports are not considered part of the cryptek unit with the cool wargear for that purpose.
