Hi every1!

As the title suggests after the update of 1st of the March in Battlescribe it reads that the Twin-link Autocannon went up 3 points (was at 30 and now at 33) . This only appears to be the case for Dreadnoughts though as , for let's say a Predator Tank, the points of Autocannon remain the same ..

Is Battlescibe facing a malfunction or is it something that actually happened ? If yes , any1 knows the reasons behind it? I couldn't find any details on the Net . Is this a marine only thing -cause I'm not too familiar with points of Astra Millitarum- ?

Thanx in advance

Chapter Approved changed some of the points costs, and the 40k Battlescribe data people fixed a long-standing bug where the Dreadnought Index Autocannon option was incorrectly priced.

Twin AC is 33 for GW, and 30 for FW.

Forge world TL-AC is 30 but as soon as you put that on a non-FW model it has to use the SM Index cost of 33. At least that's my understanding of the situation.

It is dumb and I hate it but what are you going to do?

Pretty much the motto of 8th edition, imho.

It's a different price for a good reason.

Index dreadnaught payed a lower points cost for the chassis than the forgeworld dreadnaught, though with 2 twin autocannons they actually worked out to be the same total.

The issue is GW only reduced the price of codex unit's and has left a lot of the forgeworld marine stuff untouched.
