Rules (2)
Deep Strike
A unit made up entirely of models with this special rule may perform a Deep Strike Assault as described on page 310. Certain Faction or unit special rules may present other options for the deployment of units with the Deep Strike special rule.
Bulky (X)
Bulky models count as a number of models equal to the value X in brackets after the rule’s name for the purposes of Transport Capacity and whether a given unit outnumbers another in combat.

For example, a unit comprised of five models all of which have the Bulky (3) special rule, would count as 15 models when attempting to Embark on a Transport Vehicle or when deciding if they outnumber an enemy unit.

Incunabulan Jet Pack:

A unit composed entirely of models with Incunabulan jet packs may choose to increase its Move Characteristic by +6" and ignore terrain while Moving during the Movement phase. A unit that ends or begins its movement in Dangerous Terrain will still need to take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal, even when employing Incunabulan jet packs and treats Difficult Terrain as Dangerous Terrain. In addition to the bonus to Move during the Movement phase, a unit composed entirely of models with Incunabulan jet packs may make an additional Move of 6" during the Shooting phase. This Move must be taken after the unit has completed any Shooting Attacks, is not limited by the weapons fired by that unit during the Shooting phase and ignores terrain in the same manner as moves made using a Incunabulan jet pack in the Movement phase. Any model with an Incunabulan jet 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. Models with an Incunabulan jet pack may Embark on models with the Transport Unit Sub-type, contrary to the normal Transport rules, but still must take into account their size due to the Bulky (X) special rule. During any Reaction that allows a unit to Move, a unit composed entirely of models with Incunabulan jet packs increases the distance of that Move by 6 and allows it to ignore terrain in the same manner as other Incunabulan jet pack moves.
