After gaming with my army for a bit and in a tournament for fun ive been getting conflicting reports about the Deathwing Assault rule. The two things im told are either that it just happans automatically on the first turn as per the rules and then you roll reserves as normal on 2nd and later turns and other times I am told that you have to roll for the deathwing on turn 1 as if it were turn two. Im fine eitherway but id like to know which one is the way its supposed to go down. After reading the rule for it several times and the deep strike rules as well as the white dwarf issue featurign the unforgiven with that silly battle report against tau I am not entirely sure. The article essentially showing off the dark angels says they automatically deepstrike in which to me sounds like no rolling for the deepstrike but following the other rules for deepstrike (scatter deployment tele homers etc etc). Any insight because its just not clicking with my brain.

On turn two you roll to see if remaing squad in reserve arrive. So as example: you have 5 deathwing squads, belial and a librarian on reserve. On turn one you can elect to deepstrike three of them, two have a character attached. On turn two you roll to see if any of the remaining two squads in reserve ,arrive. Rinse and repeat on following turns until all squads have deployed. Interrogator Chaplain Lucifer - Firing plasma since 998M41.

Next time i go to the local gaming place ill bring my white dwarf where it also says automatically as extra support in defending out special rule.
