I've noticed a lot of people in a lot of threads suggest combat squadding the devastators in the skyhammer. With the new rules, combat squads are made before deployment, meaning if you combat squad the devs, they cannot both ride in the same drop pod?

Can you buy more pods (i realise it means buying at least 4 to get another 2 down turn 1) and embark the 2 new combat squads into them for the same effect?

You might wish to reread the 'Combat Squads' special rule.

I still don't see what i'm missing.

You are missing the rule about how combat squads interact with dedicated transports. Specifically dedicated transports.

You are missing this sentence in Combat Squad rule:
"(...) In an exception to the normal rules, two combat squads split from the same unit can embark in the same transport vehicle, providing its Transport Capacity allows.(...)"
