No, why would you think that? The Ambush rule is no different to any other "Deep Strike" effect. If you're using the beta rule, "in matched play games, units that are not placed on the battlefield during deployment in order to arrive on the battle mid-game as reinforcements cannot arrive on the battlefield during the first battle round." Ambush says to "set up in ambush instead of placing them on the battlefield", and the dagger says "behind enemy lines instead of placing them on the battlefield". As you can see, both rules explicitly place the unit not on the battlefield, thus they are limited by the beta rule.

They do not have an exemption ergo they follow the rules

Awesome, just wanted to check and make sure. Thanks!
