Jetpack Tau jetpacks are extremely agile, combining anti-gravitic and jet technology. A model with a jetpack can either:
- Move 6" in their Movement phase, ignoring intervening terrain as they fly over it like a model with a jump pack;
- Move up to 6" by walking or hovering just above the ground as normal infantry.
They will also fall back and sweeping advance 3D6".
Troops equipped with jetpacks may Deep Strike when the mission permits.
An unbroken model with a jetpack that is not in close combat may always move 6" in the Assault phase whether they are with 6" of an enemy or not. This move may be in any direction. It does not have to be a charge towards the enemy, even if the jetpack wearer is within 6" of an enemy model.
