when deep strikings;
- infantry & jump infantry count as moving so they can only fire rapid fire & assault type weapons unless they have a special rule allowing them fire heavy weapons! (like your termies for example or oblits who have 'slow and purposefull)

- vehicles count as having moved over 12" and thus cannot shoot at all!!! (a recent clairification which has helped knock the ass-can speeder lists on the head quite nicely!)

- units which deep strike may not assault the turn they deep strike. (IIRC, would that also mean tau battlesuits don't get their assault move - my codex is elsewhere right now!>.<)
note that summoned lesser daemons are the only exception to this rule! summoned lesser daemons may assault the turn they are summoned onto the battlefield...

cheers!
