Jump packs and storm bolters

Stupid question

How do you put storm bolters on a jump pack unit?

Storm bolters are a combi weapon and no JP unit will allow a unit full of them.

Looking around the forum, i see this unit come up. Are they using the index?

Yes, they are using the Index options for Company Veterans to give them Jump Packs.

Yes, Company Veterans with Jump Packs are from the Index. Each veteran can take a storm bolter. BTW storm bolters are not combi-weapons.

You're right and I was about to write the same about Storm Bolter but then realized they're listed under combi weapons in the Codex for rules puposes. ;)

They are essentially an evolution of the older Combi-Bolter, so it does kind of follow logically, even though 'modern' 40k Combi-Weapons are a bit different.

Combi weapons as in boltgun+(one shot) special weapon are as old as combi-bolters. Both existed before the heresy.

I kinda get why storm bolters got lumped in with combis, but its weird since they never got that treatment before.

 

Im on the fence about building this unit. Im worried the index will get written out of the rules eventually

Undetstandable.

Either you risk it that you'll have a unit you can't use anymore eventually or you put in thr efford to filly magnetize it I'd say.
