Jump Pack

Jump Pack: A unit composed entirely of models with Jump Packs may set its Movement Characteristic to a value of 12 for the duration of the controlling player’s turn. This allows the unit to move up to 12", regardless of the Movement Characteristic shown on its profile, and gain any other benefits of a Movement Characteristic of 12 (including the bonus to Charge Distance, see page 181). In addition, if the controlling player chooses to set the unit’s Movement to 12", the unit ignores terrain while Moving and Charging, and may move over friendly and enemy models/units. A unit that ends or begins its Movement or a Charge in Dangerous Terrain will still need to take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal, even when employing Jump Packs, and treats all Difficult Terrain as Dangerous Terrain.

Any model equipped with a Jump Pack also gains the Bulky (2) and Deep Strike special rules, or if it already has the Bulky (2) special rule it gains the Bulky (3) special rule instead. A unit equipped with Jump Packs may not Run.

During Reactions made in any Phase, a unit equipped with Jump Packs may not activate them to gain any bonus to their Movement Characteristic.
