Tau 5th Ed Rules Question

Hey Guys,

In 3rd edition Tau, Crisis Suits and Stealth Suits could only move 6" in the movement phase.

In 5th Ed with the 4th Edition Codex, it seems as though they can move 12" like regular jump-pack troops. Am I reading this correctly?

Thanks

yes they can move 12 like normal jump infantry and as such follow the same rules as them

You've misread the unit type. Those units are not Jump Infantry, they are Jet Infantry. Its covered in a subsection underneath jump infantry in the rule book and specifically mentions they move 6" in the movement phase and 6" in the assault phase. Not a hard mistake to make however given that I don't think any other race in the game uses jet infantry.

That makes sense, 12" move would be ridiculous for Crisis suits O_O
