My question concerns the Low Altitude Deployment rule:

"If all the units from this Formation start in Reserves, you can announce before the battle begins that they will use Low Altitude Deployment. If you do so, deploy the entire formation using the Deep Strike special rule at the start of your second turn."

Does this mean when they come in I treat them all as one unit for placing durning the Deep Strike? i.e. I place the Riptide then start my concentric circle around it with the crisis/commander/broadsides.

Or, do they get to Deep Strike seperatly and the rule is just specifying that they can all come in turn 2 even if they normally wouldn't be able to?

Thanks in advance.

They all come in at the same time. They are still separate units so deep strike separately.

They are placed as separate units. It doesn't appear to say "deploy the entire formation as if one unit".
