Hilarious, maelific lords go from 30 to 80 a 50 point increase and 167% meanwhile Guilliman only goes up by 25 or 7.6%.... Gulliman needs either a 100 point increase or a 10th wound, a small increase while most other things went down means we are pretty much still at square 1. I want him to be good, just not idiotic like he is now.

Right, 90 points of maelific lords could have wiped Guilliman out in a single phase...

Those things were so brutally under-costed it was beyond ridiculous.

Thanks. Well, guess it's time to keep waiting.


It's all accurate. I flipped through the book myself.


Going to give any more information there, Chief?

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

Glad you entirely missed the point. Clearly there was no other amount they could increase cost by in either case. Good job mate!

Hand Flamers are 3 pts and Infernus Pistols are 9 pts. Those were listed under Sisters of Battle though so not sure if Blood Angels will get them at the same cost. Blood Angels and Dark Angels points weren't in there. I would assume since the new Codexes will be out and everything will be costed there. Librarian with a Jump Pack is 110 (I think). Not really much more to add. I was mostly concerned with points for Space Marines since I play Blood Angels.

Heck, I've got an even more basic question:

Are GK point changes even in the book?

Cawl is supposed to, my guess is most of the index characters drop since they are all currently a bit steep.

Sorry guys. I was on that page, but not really focused on other armies. There were point changes for FW and I'm pretty sure other factions were listed. Sorry I can't get more specific. :(

I know there was some Death Guard adjustments and I did see RG and Celestine. Didn't see any other characters. I did notice that the Warhound Titan was up 500 points.

Tyranid Malanthrope is going up to 120points from the original 90points. Granted this has now shifted it away from its almost "auto include" status.

By other armies you mean other than blood angels? Or other than Sisters of Battle?
Any other point changes for Sisters?

Well I guess its something. Caresses went down to 7 pts (-2) and Kisses went down to 9 (-5). The Death Jester at 60 pts (-15) is still not worth it in the least IMO.

So Celestine cost the same, 250 points, but the Superiora are Cheaper and Celestine more expensive? Nice! I always played her with Genevieve and Eleanor so not change for me!

Sad to see power swords going up in points

Astropaths for 30p without Wargear! Wow for all the ones saying that Smite-spam wasn't a problem! And Conscripts 4ppm : Personally I believe that with the three nerfs (Max unit 30, orders on a 4+ and commisar nerf) was enough.
