HUGE rumors are here that are about to rock your 40k world. Check out all the latest rules and points changes that may be coming in Chapter Approved 2018

Games Workshop gave us a little insight on some of the points changes now that Chapter Approved is right around the corner. Let’s break down what they gave us.

More Playable Missions

Narrow the Search is one of the missions found inside Chapter Approved. The Objective radius shrinks every turn and Invulnerable saves can’t be taken within 12″ of the markers. Essentially, this will force the players to converge on different points head on and casualties will be massive without any invulnerable saves allowed.

Now let’s look at the real reason why people want Chapter Approved

New Points Changes

…we’ve taken the opportunity both to enshrine some Big FAQ rules in print as well as taking a look at points. As before, this review is pretty wide-ranging, but there are a few highlights…

Necrons

Triarch Praetorians are getting a hefty points drop

Necrons will be getting “Aspiring Overlords”

Grey Knights Reductions

paladins

Grand Master in Dreadknights

Purifiers

Eldar

It’s fair to say that some of the most stunning models in Warhammer 40,000 weren’t getting much time on the table in the matched play scene (Wraithknight, we’re looking at you), so we’ve made some adjustments to help encourage their use. For example, the aforementioned Wraithknight has had an enormous reduction in points, now costing a little over 300 points, rather than over 400 before weapons! You’re now free to use these extra points on reinforcements, or more Wraithknights…

Commander Farsight’s Eight

Farsight’s Eight will be held under a Lord of War detachment and is going to cost around 1,000pts. As for right now, we have no idea how these guys are going to perform in-game.

Other Changes & Side Notes

Cultists are going up in points after they swept the meta as a constant archetype.

Forge World Magera Knight is going down in points as well.

The Sisters of Battle Beta Codex is going to be in Chapter Approved 2018

Renegade Knight Index has been reprinted and remains an official part of the game.

Games Workshop gave us a very general overview of what’s to come.

Now let’s go over the latest rumors from Blood of Kittens. it looks like point changes are running rampant!
