Does a Valkyrie being setup from strategic reserves count just its base for the "smallest dimension" in relation to the 6 inch deployment rule or will it count as a large model? The second option stops it firing as well as the normal movement restrictions for all strategic reserve models.

I suppose this also means that a Baneblade cannot fire or charge on the turn it arrives?

Unless otherwise stated in the unit profile, you only count the base.

Things like Dark Eldar Raiders have special rules that say to measure to/from the hull. I dont believe that the Valkyrie has any rule stating you measure to the hull (I dont think any flyer has that rule TBH).

As above. All measurements are done on base-basis, unless specifically specified otherwise.

Aircraft arriving from strategic reserves can arrive anywhere on the battlefield, more than 9" away from enemy models.

I missed that completely when reading the rules, many thanks
