Where are my deep strike squads?
I'm playing Sisters of battle, and i've take the space marine HQ. I go to take on the Imperial Guard and figure the Deep Strike units could be useful. I go to my stronghold and buy a bunch of deep strike units. I click 'attack' on the Guard stronghold, look through the tabs, see my forward base but no Deep strike. Launch attack in hope units will arrive, they don't. Can i not deep strike in HQ's or somthing? If that's the case, it dosn't say. Am i doing somthing wrong?

Try searching the forums for 'Deep Strike' as I know this has been mentioned and answered before.

If I remember correctly, once you have the SM down, you get an extra 'deep strike' tab in your own HQ on the map. You can buy units and add them to your deep strike. Once you go into a battle you can select the units you put into deep strike.

I hope this helps.

I think you guys are misinterpreting the problem. I know how to buy the deep strike squads, but the tab on the attack screen that lets you use them isn't appearing.

Since posting, I've attacked standard regions and the deep strike panel has showed up. I've concluded that Deep Strike dosn't work in HQs. Thanks for trying to help anyway
correct, you don't get deep strike option for HQ attacks

If you go into the Reinforcement screen of your stronghold (if you are not Space Marines it is not this specific map area, it is your race's home stronghold) and click the arrows over you will find that there is a third option available: Deep Strike. A selection of troops will be available. These units cost more than they would for a regular reinforcement of a host location, but what happens is that you can call on them to show up for any standard offensive fight (in the fight prep screen, if you click the arrow over from the Honor Guard heading on the left it will move to the Deep Strike set of units). If you win the fight the used units return to the Stronghold to be used again, and it costs nothing to call a built unit into a fight. They show up next to your base at the beginning of the fight.

I have never had the option available when attacking to switch to deep strike, only honor guard.

Attacking a HQ doesn't give you the option to Deep Strike. It is a pain in the ass especially against Tau and that f***ing dinosaur they bring along

I recently started to play again and Tau Stronghold is kinda broken, once i had to fight with two knarlocs at once. That is the only situation in the game, where enemies have multiple relic units.

Not to mention XV-88 combat armors, which are pain to deal with. Generally very unpleasant level.
