For anyone with a 7th edit rule book I have a couple of rules queries. 1) does a flying monsterous creature need to be zooming to get a jink or can they be moving as jump infantry or even stationary to get it? 2) what does slow and purposeful do now?

Hi neil good question, just looked em up and 1st one suprised me, just says fmc have jink special rule doesnt say they have to be swooping to get it at least not on the fmc page all it says it when gliding they count as jump inf so i would say against all common sense yes they do! slow and puposeful seems the same no run, sweep or overwatch but count as stationary for weapon rules, heavy salvo etc and can charge after firing those weapons.

Thanks for the quick response. I know jink means snap shots only but does it specify shooting phase or does it count for shooting psychic powers?

Shooting Psychic powers do count as usual shooting attacks except for the two exceptions being the beam (No roll required) & Nova (Which also can hit fliers oddly enough) so yes a psyker who jinked would need to make snap shots with it's powers.
I'm now wondering if my DP ever jinked in the Tournament but I am pretty sure it didn't i never bothered hoping it's armour / Invun / FnP would keep it alive!

Can jink be used against combat attacks for vehicles/bikes etc or is it shooting attacks only?

Only vs shooting, its a cover save and only if targeted by shooting attack raw so no jinking scattering blast

Thanks guys. My next project is taking shape and it looks like 7th allows flying daemon princes of nurgle a permanent 2+ cover save with jink and shrouding...

Yep - totally I think 7th works with a Dakka Flyin Monster - just out of interest how will you get round the snap shots? Will you go summoning powers or maybe go down the route of nova powers?
I was originally looking at flying around summoning daemons in my list till I realised I didn't generate enough psychic dice unless I ran a pure Deamon list or tzentch thousand son list
