Ok so I'm sort of new to orks...but i know how effective jump infantry are being able to move 12 than run d6. However storm boyz seem to have a greater potential due to their rockkit packs.

Rokkit Pak: Fluff, fluff. Every time the stormboyz unit utilises its rokkit packs to move or fall back roll a d6. On a 1 remove one as a casualty. Regardless of the result you may add the number rolled to the amount the unit moves that turn. - pg 47 ork codex

So if i'm reading this right. move 12 (roll d6 for check) so realistically they move 13 -18 inches during the movement phase. Then they can run - question is do they roll the d6 again and if so i'm going to asume they add the number in again ergo up to 30 inches of movement without assulting (can't assult after run but still).

This seems too good to be true.

You don't get the extra roll on the Run move.

Every time the stormboyz unit utilises its rokkit packs to move or fall back roll a d6.

If you check the rules for Jump Infantry, they only actually use their jump packs (or whatever the army in question's equivalent happens to be) in the Movement phase, and when Falling Back.

So the Run is not a movement in which the Boyz 'utilise their rokkit packs' ... and so they don't roll.

Thanks it wasn't sitting right in my head anyway.
