From this thread the claim is made that Jump Infantry can go in transports because Jump Infantry isn't really a thing. Is this correct?

BRB pg47: "Unlike most other unit type categories, 'Jump' is not a classification in and of itself..... Jump units therefore share two sets of rules, the Jump unit rules and those of their base type. Jump Infantry would, for example, follow the rules for Jump units and Infantry"
That clearly states that "Jump" is not a classified unit type by itself but that they follow the rules for Infantry as well.
So yes, Jump units may embark in transports as they follow the rules for Infantry.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

It would appear to be that way.
So unless something is specifically forbidden from embarking I see no reason they can't.

well I'd assume they cant but I'd like to hear the argument cause I kinda feel it could go either way now....
I mean doesnt the SR still have the "jump infantry may embark and count as 2 models" rule still? or since jump infantry now have bulky (IIRC anyways) they can go inside any transport counting as 2 models?

Thats what it looks like.
In 5th Jump Infantry could not embark, thats why the Stormraven had the exception in its rules.
Now that exception is a useless line of stating whats in the main rules.

Page 78: "Only Infantry models can embark upon Transports (this does not include Jump or Jet Pack Infantry), unless specifically stated otherwise".
So, no ASM in rhino.
