Alright so I want to use both the ravenwing strike force and company of the great wolf together and I am thinking through different ways to deploy and I want to make sure I got all the rules interactions correct.

So the primary unit in question is a ravenwing command squad with attached characters on thunderwolves.

Case 1: deploy on board. the whole unit can choose to scout.

Case 2: Hold all of ravenwing strike force in reserve with wolf characters attached to the command squad. They can come on the board as normal. Since scout confers to the unit and confers outflank the whole unit can choose to outflank. The wolves provide acute senses so re-roll the outflank result.

If choosing case 2 would the unit still automatically come in from reserves on turn 2 with the wolf characters?

Yes, it would. It is, after all, still a Ravenwing unit.

Funny enough, I played such a build (RW + CotGW) against a Daemonkin army with lots of Flesh Hounds. I declare my army to Outflank. He then covered 1 side of the board edge completely with hounds.

Thanks to Acute Senses, all of my bikers units with SW characters came in on the flank that was open.

Alright thank you. I wanted to keep my options for deployment open and this allows me to null deploy sweet.

Keep in mind that if you don't have any units on the table at the end of any game turn, you lose so you can't completely null-deploy.

In my list, I had a Culexus which I infiltrated completely out of LOS to make sure I didn't get "tabled" on T1.

Yeah my list has drop pods so no worries about that. Thanks for the reminder though.
