If Jump Infantry moves as regular Infantry and move 6" or less do they still have to test for Dangerous test if moving into or assaulting into area terrian? Also I just found out that JI can go over models even if there is not 2" gap between minis. So does this go for enemy minis as well? Can JI move over enemy minis?

Only if that terrain is also classified as Dangerous.

Yes JI are not effected by intervening models.

if they are moving as normal infantry they would use normal infantry rules for going through difficult and dangerous terrain. You would have to make your difficult terrain roll and then if moving through dangerous terrain take a test there as well.

Only when moving with the jump pack must you follow the stipulations about ending or beginning your movement in terrain. If it didn't work like that you'd be taking test every time you ran or assaulted through terrain as well! Just make sure you declare when you are not using jump packs.

As for moving over enemy units the rules are pretty clear on pg. 52 concerning their movement. In short, yes, just to not move them to within the 2" bubble.

What the others have said is true, however there is one specific instance that should be noted.

The Space Wolves psychic power Tempest's Wrath forces units of the Jump Infantry type to treat all terrain as difficult and dangerous (as well as some other unit types). This is the only situation where moving as normal infantry doesn't prevent the test. If your unit type is Jump Infantry, you treat all terrain as difficult and dangerous under all circumstances, including when you run or when you assault. It should also be noted that units that move like Jump Infantry are not affected by this power, because their unit type is not Jump Infantry. For example, a unit of Grey Knight Interceptors are Jump infantry, and would roll difficult and dangerous terrain moving within the radius of Tempest's Wrath, regardless of how they actually moved. A Nemesis Dreadknight with a Personal Teleporter is a Monstrous Creature that moves like Jump Infantry, and would not have to roll difficult and dangerous terrain.

Outside of that odd situation, what the others have said is 100% correct.

Ha! I'm playing as wolves this weekend and totally forgot that little tidbit! Thanks Aldarionn!

Also to the OP - note in the JI section it states that they always move along the ground when assaulting, so they would not, SW powers excepting, only take any tests infantry would do when assaulting

Thanks everyone for clarifiing it for me. Greatly appreciated.
