This came up in my game yesterday. My Chaos opponent shot up my Stormboyz and they failed their moral check and ran. At the start of my turn do I roll 3d6 + still make a Rokkit Pack roll taking a wound on a 1 to see how far they run?

Well considering it says "Every time the Stormboyz unit uses its Rokkit Packs to move or fall back"...

Yes.

And, in fact, I think Stormboyz are required to fall back a total of 4d6, as you may add that extra die to their movement, and falling back requires you to move as quickly as you can toward the board edge.

Well, you have to roll that last one seperately incase one of them crashes.

Deffgob,

According to the BRB you roll 3D6. The ork codex just states:

"Every time the Stormboyz utilises its rokkit packs to move or fall back, roll a D6. On a roll of a 1, one of the rokkit packs has gone out of control. Its owner lands on its head and his pack detonates. Remove a Stormbo model as a casualty."

It states nothing about adding the die roll in with the movement so the 3D6 movement when falling back still rules with regard to the number of dice rolled. This is actually interesting as we have been playing that the roll for movement is the "roll a 1 and lose a guy" roll. to me this sounds completely different. Interesting.

I think you should keep reading...
In fact the very next sentence is "Regardless of the result you may add the number rolled to the amount the unit moves that turn."

Stormboyz fall back 3d6 + d6.
It's important to note that while you always have to roll the extra d6 from the Rokkit Packs (and suffer a casualty on a 1) the extra move granted from it is optional even when you fall back.
