Deep Strike, page 36 and Jump Units, page 47

Do Jump Infantry count as having used their Jump Packs in the Movement phase when they Deep Strike?

**time wizard**

I would say no because the unit type, jump infantry, grants them the deep strike special rule, not using their jump packs.

When they deep strike, they cannot move further, so they could not use their jump packs in the Movement phase.

Of course, this could very easily be FAQed the complete opposite way as sell.

i believe it has been faqed the other way on vanguard vets. they used their jump packs in the movementpahse to deep strike, thus they cannot reroll their dice.

But that FAQ specifies Vanguard Vets that are using their Heroic Intervention rule.

Can Zagstruck assault the same turn he deep strikes?

Then that's a good question. I'm not really sure what the answer is.

Is he Deep Striking as a result of being Jump Infantry?

The FAQ reads "though they count as having used their rokkit packs to move that turn".

So no, you can't use the packs to re-roll your assault distance the turn you deep strike.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!

Could you please tell me which FAQ you are talking about? I could not find it in the general 1.2.
Thanks

Holy Threadomancy Batman!

Different FAQ for a different Edition. The post you quoted was from 2012. Many changes have happened from that time.

**Alpharius**

Indeed!

I mean, was it still 4th or 5th back in 2012?

I wish we were still playing that edition...

Either one!
