in the chaos book under wings it says:

''Models equiped with wings move in the same way as jump infantry''

now this only says move's the same as not ''counts as'' does that mean that a chaos lord with wings can join a unit of troops and ride in a rhino?

i think the answer is no but thats just because if a model with a jump pack can't fit in a rhino then how can a model with wings:wacko: but from a RAW point of view is there any reason that i can't see why they are not allowed?:search:

any info would be appreciated

Wings = Jump packs. They follow all the rules that apply to jump packs.

40K Rulebook says something along the lines of, not all jump infantry use jump packs, and goes on to mention various ways of being jump infantry including wings IIRC

The problem I think is that their unit type doesn't change so they stay as infantry and so can ride in rhinos:grin:
However if this is wrong then a DP with wings wouldn't be an MC and so wouldn't negate armour:shok:. Personally, i don't think that this is RAI .

Chaos Marines with Wings move as Jump Infantry but aren't Jump Infantry.

They can jump into transports just fine.

There are many instances of things 'moving' like other things, but they stay their default type. Destroyers, for example, move like Jetbikes but are Infantry. Chaos Daemon Daemon Princes are MCs but can move like jump infantry if they are flying.

Has your answer, Wings does not equal Jump Infantry.
