Hi guys,

Ok probably a real easy rule to rap up but theres a few things that crossed my mind as im new to 40k.

So deep strike, i get the rules in terms of choosing what you want in reserve, but how much has to be in reserve and how much HAS to start on the board??

Surely you can't start the game with nothing on the board, so what has to start on the board, or at least the minimal amount of models starting.

Is it done on a percentage or is there a rule that im being blind too?

Take a Grey Knight army as an example, they rely on combat, so deep strike is an important thing for them, now say you had a 750 army which consisted of GK grand master and 2 units of terminators, how much of that would have to start on the table and how much could you put in reserve and deep strike?

Also how handy are servo skulls for them? the -1 D6 scatter is sweet but thats all i know about them, there anything else sweet about these?

Thanks

Yes, it's a percentage. This is covered quite explicitly in the Reserves rules in the rulebook.
