The bottom of the Errata also mentions the Castellan weapons going up by 100 points so that's a more significant nerf.

Deathwatch and SM vehicles like the Dark Talon, Storm Raven and Land Raider Crusader have also been nerfed with the Bolter Discipline rule which sucks majorly.

The Rules Update itself: https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/warhammer_40000_update_April_2019_en.pdf

 

Commentary on several changes made in various FAQs.

 

FLY can move across models other than BUILDINGS when charging, but not terrain.

Things with FLY and a minimum move now gain AIRCRAFT, and models can basically ignore it entirely when moving, excpet they cant end their move on an AIRCRAFT's base or within 1" of it if it's an enemy.

Different datasheets for the what are clearly supposed to be the same thing now all count to the Rule of Three - a Daemon Prince is a Daemon Prince, you can't have 3 picks of AM Leman Russes and 3 picks of Cult Leman Russes.

Bolter Discipline is official, with the change that it doesn't apply to VEHICLES other than DREADNOUGHTS and HELBRUTES. Deathwatch can only use Bolter Discipline with standard bolter ammo, no SIA.

Prepared Positions, Tactical Restraint, and Tactical Reserves all finalized with a few tweaks.

The "Pick Your Assassin" strat is now 2 CP and can only be used if you don't already have any Assassins in your list (and not by FALLEN).

Im pretty sad about the Bolter discipline being gone from marine vehicles. Who thought they were too good?? I really wanted to run a Crusader this year and make it work but this might be the final nail.

 

The DW change i feel is both fair and thematic, do you want good shots or many many shots. Still useful and fluffy.

Lord Discordant is now affected by legion traits, which is good, as they now apply to all characters - hmm, the change only seems to be in Shadowspear & Vigilus Ablaze, not in the Chaos Space Marine codex.

There is some good stuff here. Ion shields being capped at 4++ and the fly change are the big ones. The Wraithseer getting T8 is nice though I doubt it's enough to bring him off the shelf.

 

There is also some crappy stuff like nerfs to Sisters and Grey Knights which need the opposite. Space marine vehicles losing Bolter Discipline sucks too as well as losing double firing Hellfire shells.

 

And then there is the bizarre missing stuff. The Taunar not losing the battle suit rule is pure insanity.

 

It's a pretty mixed bag.

No point adjustments for anything?

Just the Castellan it looks like.

I guess the big faq only looked at the big castellan.

 

 

Yup, Chapter Approved is their annual points review. FAQ point changes are very sparring and to address only the most egregious cases.

 

Also Oblits are confirmed at 115 each.

2 CA and 3 FAQs later and still GW doesnt do anything for the likes of Necrons, GK or non-UM Space Marines. Last time I complained about it Reece told me the FAQ wasnt the place to look for balancing the lower tier armies and with 2 CA it seems like that isnt the place either, so which is it? A new codex?

Also back to the Drop Pod Door Debate, not that Drop Pods are any good now.

I think Pods are pretty straight forward. You would never deploy them with open doors as keeping them 9" away from enemy becomes pretty detrimental.
