You don't get to roll for deep striking units until turn two. There is no requirement for units on the board at the start of the game.
Regarding Drop Pod Assault
What are the rules regarding the drop pod assault if you do it to your whole army? I was always under the impression that before the game, but after infiltration/scouts/whatnot has been deployed, you had to start the game with at least 1 HQ and 2 troops, as per the FOC. Could anyone shed some light on this?

Yeah, that pretty much covers it.Lord Malachi said:You don't get to roll for deep striking units until turn two. There is no requirement for units on the board at the start of the game.
So you could just deep-strike everything? your opponent has two turns to move and wait for your arrival?
You do have to purchase drop pods for every unit in the army excep for terminators, land speeders and assault marines though. The "Drop Pod Assault" special rule is from 3rd edition and no longer applies.
