The nurgle plague drones are unit type jet pack cavalry.

I'm confused on what the normal movement of the drones is.

Cavalry can move 12" and are not slowed by terrain.

Jet pack says; MOVEMENT "jetpack models can move as normal models of their type or activate their jetpacks"

No movement distance is mentioned for the jetpack move.

Is it the normal movement distance of the unit type (cavalry in this case) or is there a jetpack movement distance listed somewhere in the brb and I'm just overlooking it?

They can either move as their base type (in this case cavalry) or they can move using the jetpack (does not affect distance, just how you treat difficult/impassable terrain).

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Also don't forget that this is Jetpacks, and not Jumppacks, so you can move in the Assault phase, even if you don't assault, but can't remember how much though...

2d6 inches in the assault phase I believe

That's what it seemed like to me too. I just wanted some clarifactation because the brb was kind of vague IMO.

They can use the jump pack in the assault phase even if they are not assaulting. My question is about the movement phase in which it lists no set movement for using jump packs. I listed the rule exactly as it is written in my OP.

They can actvate their jet packs, moving a normal move for Cavalry but with the jet pack terrain alterations.
