Newb question: The GK FA choice, I believe they are called Interceptors, can they move like models with jump packs, or only have the shunt move as described in the codex? Someone brought this into question the other day as they are classified as jump infantry.

Thanks in advance!

They have both. They're classified as JI, which means they get a 12" move and they have a special 1/game 30" shunt.

As above. You can give a DK the same packs as well....

Does it give the DK a 12 inch move as well, or just the 1/game shunt?

Yes.
The DK will move like JI.

For clarification, they get the 12" jump infantry move along with the 1 shunt jump per game

Aye any model with personal teleporters counts as jump infantry and can move 12", and gets the shunt once per game... It states so quite clearly in the codex entry for the interceptors
