Well that changes my understanding of things considerably. The earliest you could gain the advantage of the formation's rule would be T2.

Possibly. Though you might be able to bring hte formation in Turn 1, and theoretically bring in some units via Drop Pod Assault, however, that is a discussion for another thread.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Yeah there's debate in my group now that says the drop pod is open-topped, therefore you could deep strike then assault.
But the formation says units that arrive from deep strike assault can charge, not anything, so it depends - does a dreadnought that is in a pod that deep strikes also deep strike itself?

... my 120 6+ rending can be 4+....?
You have got to be kidding me, how!?
You can play apocalypse. It's not a formation for standard 40k.

The key phrasing is "arrives from deep strike reserves" Which both a transport and it's cargo would do once being placed there. But there is an ongoing thread discussing it already so I digress.
