Anyone spot any MAJOR changes in the points costs? Looking at Slaanesh daemons, they stayed largely static.

Only major one for myself was the Reanimator going from 110 points to 80 points.

Well, my Guard army can bring Leman Russes without giving up too many points, and now there's an (albeit small) argument for Conscripts.

Plague marines at 21 points... ouch... Those boys will be very powerful.


That's bordering on unplayable. I hope to god this is the new codex price as well and we don't see another increase on top of that ...

Wait, what were we talking about again? Did I ever tell you about the time I gave you five bees for a quarter? That's what you'd say in those days, "give me five bees for a quarter", is what you'd say in those days. And you'd go down to the D&D shop, with an onion in your belt, 'cause that was the style of the time. So there I was in the D&D shop..."

They really dicked up Baneblades it looks like.

They went up 65 points, but the Demolisher cannon (formerly 20) is free (I guess). But now the Twin Heavy Bolter is 50, unless that's the price for one Sponson but at least the lascannon is free, but you have to buy the sponsons in pairs so is that 50 for the pair or is a pair of sponsons 100 now and two pairs 400? And if it isn't the price for a sponson, is it the price for the twin heavy bolter on the front or is that free too?

That's the 2W price. 1W is still 18 PPM for the Undivided Legions.

What it looks like they did with the baneblade was raise the price by 15 points, then include the hull heavy bolter and demolisher cannon, then fold sponsons.

The triarch stalker already had Quantum Shielding

CSM PM won't get the DG support,are still 1 wound and theyre also not troops so the difference in pts is fine.
poxwalkers can't shoot and are slower, the difference in pts is fine.

nah, 21 pts for their stats is really good, they will still be solid.

Also, these are 100% the codex cost since the codex was supposed to already be out.

Sorry, no, 5 PPm cultists for thee but not for me CSM is NOT FINE.
Because they didn't change.

Atleast the earthshaker carriage battery is finally cheaper (5ppm) then the basilisk...

The same unit with the same stats for 2 diffrent pricepoints...
Yeah no, reeks once again of dex designers beeing separate and avoiding each other like most house cats do with water.

For the record, i understand the PM's i just mock them for not even bothering to update the unit because it is shared.
What i don't understand is the magically cheaper culitsts for DG compared to CSM. Especially because THE cultist spam legion is NOT DG.

You don't know what synergies/extra rules exist in the book. There may be none and it is a silly discrepancy, but you just don't know...

DG plagues and CSM plagues aren't the same unit tho..... troop vs elite is a huge difference.

The magically cheaper cultists is dumb but thats the least of our complaints, just give us 2W already!

Nothing major seen yet. An important one though is the 5 points to Eradicators. It doesn't take them off the table, but it might slow them down a bit.

OUT OF PHASE RULES AND EMBARKING
ON TRANSPORTS
We wish to add an example to explain how the Out of Phase rules
apply to units. When a unit uses a rule to make a move as if it
were the Movement phase, all the normal rules that would apply in
the Movement phase apply when making that move. For example,
models in that unit cannot finish that move within Engagement
Range of any enemy models, and if every model in that unit
finishes that move wholly within 3" of a friendly Transport model,
they can embark within that Transport model following the
normal Movement phase rules regarding embarkation.

Look, i have to commend GW, they resisted their Greedyness and gave us a free rules update and pts. They even put it online which is masterfully custommer friendly.
What is less is the still seeming 0 interaction between lead writers for dex rules and pts...

Also considering ALL sm got insta updated whiles all CSM which will get the impending buff didn't , vlad, doesn't bode well imo.

Also i may be forgiven for not trusting GW...

@VladimirHerzog Thanks! I was looking in the wrong spot in that pdf.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Folks, remember that units in different books have access to different stratagems and synergies. That SHOULD absolutely be factored in to a units cost. In the new world, it is not just as easy as adding a second detachment to gain access to a second grouping of Stratagems as detachments now have an actual CP cost.

I mean...like two months for sweeping FAQs. Seems pretty timely to me.


I think the UK is locked down pretty hard right now too. It's not just 2 months - it's 2 months in a quarantine. I'd agree that this is a pretty laudable achievement. Especially the Munitorum being free, and with so many of the changes being ones very specifically called for by the community. I'm sure there are some "misses" here too, but over all, I think this looks to be like some of their better work.
