Is there anywhere that lists the specific differences between the Space Marine Codex and Imperium 1 Index?
I am not looking for actual rules and points values, but it would be nice to see a list of what rules, points and options did change.

For example, I know that Rifleman Dreads and Bike Librarians are only available from the Index.
And obviously BA, DA and SW units are still only in the Index until their Codices come out.
I also know that WL traits, a ton of stratagems, relics and Chapter Tactics were added. I am not interesting in that, I know those are all new.

I don't play Space Marines, but I have the Index to "know my enemy" and to use the small collection of Marines I have for my 2 sons to play small games at home.
So clearly buying the $50 codex does not make sense for me. But it would be nice to know what specific units/options have been affected.

Again, I am not asking for the actual rules and points values, just a comprehensive list of what rules and points have changed, or completely new options that were added.
For points changes, I would appreciate an indication if the points increased or decreased from the Index.
Thanx in advance

Nothing? No one has a list or a link to somewhere that a list exists?

Yeah.. No one really wants to go thru all that after buying two books in the first place...
