So just a quick question so that I know I understand this properly:
Storm Boyz can move 12 inches because of their jump packs
They can move an additional D6 inches, with one killed on the roll of 1.
They can then assault a unit if within 6 inches.

Is this correct? A possible movement of 24 inches for an infantry unit seems a little high to me, but that's what it seems like.

They can zoom.

You have it right on their maximum cruise speed IIRC.

Downside is that they have will be shedding models as they move around, and they are basically regular ork boyz in a smaller mob (20 max) except for that speed.

They are not infantry, they are jump infantry.

Yes, it is correct.

Yup,
Their standard move is between 13-18" with a 6" charge.
Nasty.

Nastier if they didn't suck compared to every other JI unit out there that's intended for assault, but yeah..
