Models may disembark from this vehicle at any point during its move, but if the Valkyrie moves 20" or more, you must roll a D6 for each model disembarking. On a 1, that model is slain. Models that disembark in this manner must be set up more than 9" from any enemy models.[/quote

Disembarking:

Disembark: Any unit that begins its Movement phase embarked
within a transport can disembark before the transport moves.
When a unit disembarks, set it up on the battlefield so that all of
its models are within 3" of the transport and not within 1" of any
enemy models – any disembarking model that cannot be set up in
this way is slain.
Units that disembark can then act normally (move, shoot, charge,
fight, etc.) during the remainder of their turn. Note though,
that even if you don’t move disembarking units further in your
Movement phase, they still count as having moved for any rules
purposes, such as shooting Heavy weapons (pg 180).

so, if I'm right, a model may grav-chute insert from a Valkyrie 9" from an enemy, then proceed to move, shoot & charge as normal. Am I right? I hope so, because this could be a seriously good shock-and-awe tactic.

Also, can fliers still deploy on the board if they're hovering, or do they have to deploy off the board and fly on from turn 2 onwards? I couldn't find these rules for fliers in the BRB, wondering if I missed them or they aren't there any more. Again, barring the roll-of-a-1-it-dies aspect of it, flying over the enemy, dropping an assault unit in to move to 3" away from the enemy, and then blasting their rear with the Valkyrie seems like a pretty effective tactic. With a transport of 12, that's 2 special weapons squads with flamers or meltaguns dropping in 3" from their target, which could be gamechanging! and the fact that they could be behind an assault army, could seriously affect the opponents movement.

Thoughts?
