Combine these point drops with the new secondary changes, and Sisters are looking real good. There is one increase: Retributors again have to pay for a Simulacrum. Tank appreciators will also rejoice in that nearly every tank that has a gun got a points drop, so if you had hopped on the Castigator train you get a free bonus. Additionally, Celestian Squads drop a whole point, if that is what you are into. Shane: Sisters get some key drops in units that needed them, namely Sacresants and Jump troops. It’s a change we’d hoped would happen for some time, since tanks are rad but under-utilized in 40k. When writing this, we were tempted to refer to this as the vehicle points update, since the biggest winners this time around are vehicles, most of which got some kind of points decrease to reflect the newer, less hospitable meta for tanks and the like. And then there are several factions that saw only minor or no adjustments, such as the Adeptus Mechanicus, Grey Knights, and Genestealer Cults. The big factions that were dominant – Tyranids, T’au Empire, and Craftworld Eldar – all got major nerfs and point increases, though Harlequins escaped unscathed, while many factions that were struggling – Death Guard, Orks, Necrons, the Adepta Sororitas, and Space Marines got a number of drops that help bring them back into contention.

Please note that we have not seen any accompanying Balance Dataslate or FAQ changes (if there are any) as part of the review material, so these opinions are based on points and the Nephilim mission pack alone. Today Games Workshop is dropping the first ever fully digital points update to go alongside Nephilim, and it’s chock full of big changes that are bound to shake things up in a meta that’s already undergoing seismic shifts.īefore we dive in we’d like to thank Games Workshop for sending us a preview copy of the points for review purposes. One of the things we were emphatic about in our review of the new War Zone Nephilim GT pack last week was that we didn’t yet have the full picture – in big part because we were missing a points update.
