I didn't think Space Marines got any changes in the most recent chapter approved, seeing as their codex came out just before the book?

I'll be honest I've not purchased any chapter approved since we just buy one each year with club funds and keep it in the central cabinet for communal use. So I've read the missions and new terrain rules but I just use the battlescribe app for my points.

Good point, I stand corrected. CA is good for missions each year but in terms of SM there were no points changes in this year's version so it's not strictly required to play SM.
