Alright. I am a new player and these may seem like odd questions but here it goes.

Vespid stingwings are Jump units with Fleet. So does that mean if you use your reroll from the Jump unit you can then use your Fleet to reroll a die from that?

Finally

I cannot find any SPECIFIC entry about this. But I may just be blind. But if Jump infantry use their Jump packs in the assault and go "Through" Terrain by jumping over it are they subject to the rule in the main rule book on p 22 under Charging Through Terrain in the third paragraph which says that if going through difficult terrain all units attack at INIT 1? The only thing about this that I could find is a vague reference on p 47 under the Skyborne heading in the Jump Unit sections starting on the third line stating Jump units "...can move over all other models and all terrain freely."

Re-roll entry on Page 5 answers your first question.

You can only reroll a die roll once. You must take the second result.


The second point is debatable, without a clear answer. Many are leaning towards JI being able to strike without the INI penalty.

Thank you both.

Just thought I'd attempt to help add some validity to charging through difficult terrain with jump packs.

On pg. 47 Jump Units, Skyborne it states:

"When using its jump pack (whether moving, charging or falling back, as we'll discuss in a moment) a model can move over all other models all terrain freely. However, if the model begins or ends its move in difficult terrain it must take a Dangerous Terrain test."

So from my interpretation this would allow JI to 'jump' in their assault phase given that they did not use it in their movement phase.

I see two real uses for this: 1) bypassing bubble wrap (assuming you can ensure you have the room to 'fit') and 2) bypassing difficult terrain.

It does also state that if you land or take off in difficult terrain you need to roll a dangerous terrain test, which negates the purpose of the second use.

Hope this helps!
