I know that drones taken on stealth teams gain the relentless USR because the stealth teams are jet packs (thus have the relentless USR) but I cannot find the specific rule that makes this so. But I know that this is true.

Is it a Tau rule or a 40K rule book rule? I can't find any reference anywhere. I'm wondering if the same thing applies to servitors on tech marines. Help.

Is page 52, the second bullet point in the box at the bottom of the page what you meant?

Which book pg 52 are you referring to?

Main rules, sorry.

The drones have relentess because they are jump infantry as well. The drones become the same unit type as their owner (or jump infantry if alone.) The unit does not grant them the relentless USR directly, the jet pack they get grants it to them.

Yep found what I was looking for, thanks for the assist.

I was hoping that giving a tec marine a bike would allow his servitors the relentless USR. But that doesn't appear to be the case.

Tau are just too cool.

Jump infantry are not relentless, only Jet packs. Jump infantry follow the same rules for shooting as infantry. Also on pg.52 in BRB.

Basically, jump infantry just move different and 6" further than regular infantry but are otherwise the same.
