Would you guys point me to the section in the rule book that says if we can or can not use deep strike on turn one (1). Thanks just trying to make sure I can use an idea I had for a tactic and that it was in the rules.

Deepstrikers are held in reserve, and reserves are not rolled for until turn two in a normal game. It's near the section about rolling for missions.

The only unit that can deepstrike in turn one is SM droppods and deamons.

Deathwing assault also may DS on turn 1(and was the rules template for drop pod assault in the SM book)
...not counting planetstrike or any special conditions relative to expansion games as well.

But these are EXCEPTIONS to the rules obviously. Everything else is under the strictures Gotthammer pointed out,

pg 95 BRB for deep strike (1st paragraph)
pg 94 BRB for reserves (reserves table, top of second column)
