What are the rules for deploying a model that is bigger than the deployment zone?
For example, several superheavy flyers are bigger than 12x12 and wont fit inside a 12x72 deployment...

Also titans and the acastus knights dont have a base. How do you measure charge and who counts as within 1" for fighting? If we measure to the closest leg then does the space between the legs count as being part of the model?

Something like Titans should be discussed with the opponent before the game. My Reaver doesn't have a base, but we've played it as "have to be within 1" of the legs". There really isn't any room between the legs to move without staying 1" away so we didn't have to worry about it.

Edit: The deployment issue is also something you should discuss beforehand, HIWPI you just place them as close to the edge as possible.

If you’re playing with those models there’s a lot to discuss and agree on pre-game... just include this too!

Most of these big flyers are on flying bases and the bases will fit inside the deployment zone.

RaW the game doesn't have anything to deal with such a scenario. The same situation can happen with Baneblades that Ambush via the Tallarn Stratagem.
