How does the Skull Altar for Khorne Daemons work?

Can I deepstrike it?

If so can I use the loki abilaty to come down within 6 of it on the same turn?

Correction
As a unit with the Daemon special rule, the Skull Alter has the Manifestation rule and can be deep struck. Otherwise it deployed the same way as any other Fortification. Per that same rule, you cannot use its Warp Locus unless it was on the battlefield at the start of the turn.

The skull altar is deployed like any other fortification during deployment, but doesnt have to stay away more than 3" from any other terrain piece when it deepstrikes, because it has its own rules how to set it up during the game after deployment.

Thanks Alextroy. I am toying with coming up with a demon list. Charging from deepstrike seems appealing, but I guess I need to find other locus points.

Well on neutral ground you are often coming within 8(opponent bravery). You can move somebody within 6" of enemy reducing their leadership by 1. If you use warpstorm you can even reduce it by 2 so against leadership 8 units you can with 3 warpstorm come 6" from enemy anyway.

I find the warp locus be less useful than I thought initially. Okay it's GOOD but 6-7" charges I find often anyway.
