I've heard two different answers.
I know about the each model must pass a dangerous terrain test. And if one model can't be placed the unit is destroyed.
But where my answer are in what constitutes a model not being placed. One person says its even if one dies from dangerous terrain. Another tells me that some can die from dangerous terrain....it only counts if they scatter and it causes a mishap....then the unit is destroyed.
Since I keep getting both answers I figured I'd ask you guys.

I am away from the book, I normally review the interactions before I post, but to my knowledge one would need to Resolve the placement before tanking the Dangerous Terrain tests.

The person that thinks you loose the entire squad just because you fail 1 dangerous terrain check (and saving throw) is living in fantasy la la land. Deep strike the squad and place all models, then take the dangerous terrain checks. That is the way you do it when you move jump troops into ruins and assault with bikes, why would it be any different with a deep strike.

The model is already placed once it takes a Dangerous Terrain test. If it passed the test, then it would be legally placed, and therefore the unit could in fact be placed.

The unit can only not be placed if it scatters into impassable terrain or an enemy unit.

This person just wants an excuse to not have Scions turn up on his front door

OK cool...thanks. His wording was "that model died wright?....then it can be placed...their all dead". Felt a little cheap

Explain to him that the model was placed, after which it died from dangerous terrain. You can't die without being placed on the board, after all!

I just asked a relative question a day ago about the similarly worded Skies of Fury rule for SM Stormravens, and I am pretty convinced that a Misplaced result, from DS Mishap would still allow your models to be placed, since they are deployed regularly, just by your opponent.
