Ok so newb question but I wanted to be sure about it:
Can I have a unit of Storm Troopers deep strike while being in a Valk/ Vend? Looking a Special rules I can't see why not, just wanted to be sure before I start doing it.

The Valk can deep strike already (scout move and outflank too), so the storm troops can deep strike outside of it if they wanted to (as though grav chuting in from higher above the battlefield).
This provides you with more tactical choices for deployment. A lot of players like to put veteran squads, special weapon squads or a second command squad in a valk in order to get them and their guns where they are needed.
The storm troopers can be placed in a chimera, and take 'reconaiasance' this means they outflank and so does the tank.... yay.

1 point to note. During deployment, you have to clearly state what is where, including reserves, so if you are going to put STs in a valk and then DS the valk, u have to state that in deployment. Then the valk would DS, with the STs inside (I do not believe their reroll would work on the valk). You could not choose to then DS the ST seperately...........

So if my understanding is correct I can have units that don't have deep strike in side a Valk and then have them use the deep strike ability of the Valk? P.S: Also could you find what page it says that I can if you don't mind. Me and my friend are quite new to this  |

Page 56 in the IG codex tells you all about grav chute insertion and lists the special rules for the Valkyrie and Vendetta.

If the valk deep strikes, can the unit inside disembark that turn?

If I am correct yes they can. They can deploy with in 2'' of the base of the Valk and may shoot, but they can not perform any assaults.
