So I apologize if I'm just missing something, but how is GW currently releasing points values for models that came out after the General's Handbook? The new Chaos guys so far have been just re-weaponed versions of previous models, and since the Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrath-hammer was the same points value, I have been assuming the others are supposed to be as well, but I was wanting to check if this is correct. I found the points cost for the new Darkoath Chieftain in the errata, but was wondering about the others. Any input anybody has on this would be very appreciated.

Three ways so far...

1. Via the FAQs page on games-workshop.com... there is an FAQ with points values for everything in Silver Tower, as an example.
2. Via the GW Facebook page... generally the same thing that eventually goes up on the FAQs page.
3. They aren't. Not all new warscrolls released since the GHB have a points cost. Grombrindal from the new White Dwarf #1 is a good example. GW appears to have no intention to release a points value for him, so his warscroll is unusable in Matched Play.

Also if you've purchased the generals handbook thru the app that gets updated too.

Thanks guys. Glad I was looking in the right place.
