Can cavalry units embark on transports? I would like to use a Steed of Slaanesh in a rhino, but I can´t find if cavalry can ride transports. I can´t find any rule that negates it and no rule that says if they´re Bulky/Very Bulky etc...

You should look in the 'Vehicles - Transports' section under 'Transport Capacity'.

As far as i can tell, Cavalry models do not have the Infantry suptype, and therefore cannot embark on transports.
"A transport can carry a single Infantry unit and/or any number of Independent Characters (as long as they are also Infantry)"

Just to throw this out there. What is the point of stating that bikes and jump infantry have bulky/very bulky if they aren't allowed to embark on transports? can they be placed in buildings?

No, but there are other rules that interact with the Bulky rules (such as the Red Terror).

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Because some transports specify that they can carry bikes and such (such as some super heavy transports). Buildings can carry jump/jet infantry as well.
Also there can be rules that specifically interact with bulky types of units (such as the forge world riptide)

Note that otherwise Valkyries could be used to paradrop rough riders.
Or, for bonus points, space viking super-soldiers on giant wolves.

I really, really want to see horses dropping out of the back of Valkyrie. I would house-rule that someone that wanted to do that against me was welcome to. It would be hilarious to visualize.
