A good thing is to turbo boost right in front of heavy shooting units such as dark reapers or devastators, meaning the unit can try and kill them by shooting (not likely with a 2+ save) or assault them which they'll probably lose the combat.
I personally would never deepstrike them as I find they die too easily without a cover save.
Also watch out for flamestorm cannons they kill scarabs so easily.
