I was looking into making my first army (Militarum Tempestus “Storm Trooper Strike Force”), and I was using the BattleScribe mobile app. I was selecting HQs (Tempestor Primes, naturally) for my detachments, and when I was equipping Tempestus Command Rods, it said they costed 5 points. In my codex, it says Tempestus Command Rods are 0 points. Was this a new nerf? Is BattleScribe wrong? My codex has the “Plasma gun costs 7 points on models with ballistic skill of 4+,” but it doesn’t have the major Commissar Summary execution nerf. Maybe I have the wrong patch for BattleScribe. Would anybody be able to inform me if I am right or wrong? If it’s BattleScribe, what patch do I need? If it is Codex changes, could you link me to the latest rules change for AM? Thanks.

The command rod change is in chapter approved.
I would check the faq for The codex and chapter approved as well. Battlescribe usually had the right of it, especially for the main factions, but always worth a check.

The latest FAQs are linked at the top of this forum, or are at Warhammer Community.

Chapter approved changed the points cost for stuff. Gotta stump up the cash to play with the latest rules!

The codexes are basically half invalid at this point, you need Chapter Approved and half a forests worth of FAQs to do anything. Most Playtested Edition!

This guy gets it

If your not needing a second 6x4 table to keep all your rules, codex's, index's, faq's, Capter Approved, strategum cards etc on your not playing 40k 8th edition.

Or you have it all digitally.
Means the codexes auto update to the latest rules (iOS enhanced only)

Hey now, that's just hyperbole. A 2'x4' is quite sufficient. (I have actually extended my table by 2' to accommodate this)

Ain't this the truth. We used to just have a 6'x4 area, with the Tac Objectives off in the corner of the actual field. To do that in 8th can almost take up a deployment zone!

Struggled through, but finished the list and posted it. It is labeled as “Storm Trooper Strike Force (Super Revision),” if anyone is interested.
