Chapter Approved Rumors

Chaos Marines for 11 points??

Oh dear... how much are Primaris going to drop?

the Troupe is a mistake. It is 13.>>>11.

seems like Blood Angles get a big upgrade.

Or its a fake, we'll wait and see.

Maybe. I don't trust my informer at all, but I can't say that he fails, usually. I just don't like him. Besides, a Troupe for 7 points will be the worst mistake for GW done with any points reduction. Way more worse than IH preFaQ

All the other points should be right. In fact -2 for Troupe should be right too, it is just a misprint from 9 to 7 (Troupes aren't 9 right now, they are 13, so 13>>>11 seems plausible).

We'll see. I would like Reivers at 16!

The image came from an official GW Facebook page, it's not a fake. I can believe it was just an error and Harlequins are dropping two points per player.

From a guy on Facebook on the Harlequins group, take with big pinch of salt:

Talos +18pts
Cronos -5pts
Venom -10pts
Dark Lances -5pts (wonder what this means for Blasters which would then cost more for half the range?!)
Hellions -2pts

Wracks unchanged
Dissie cannons unchanged
Raider unchanged


Harlies:

Skyweavers -5pts
Troupe Master -5pts
Shadoseer -15pts
Voidweaver -13pts
Starweaver -18pts
Neuro Disruptor -5pts

Deathjester unchanged

Guess it is not all. Reavers are 16 now (from GW itself) and yes, Blaster at 17 and Dark Lance at 20 seems weird.

C'mon GW, just a -1/2 on Mandrakes and Incubi and we are in.

Hellions at 12 sounds reasonable now, I like it!

Dark Lances will be 15 after the supposed change. Which means hopefully Blasters come down to 12/13 or something. Combined with drop to Venom means extra points for stuff when playing the classic Blaster Kabalites in Venoms build.

As it stands my tourney build would go down 70 points (down 100 on Venoms, up 30 on Razorwings).

Venoms and Skyweavers dropping in points seems wild, I'll believe that when I see it.

I look forward to Blast Pistols still costing more than Fusion Pistols in spite of being objectively inferior.

Hope the reductions to Harlequin points are accurate.

Noooo dont you see? dark eldar are winning tournaments thats why you have to nerf/ leave the things nobody takes unchanged

Venoms dropping sounds unbelievable to me as well
Also any word on the poor tantalus?

Grotesques unchanged
Blasters unchanged
Splinter Cannons unchanged

All other weapons for Harlies unchanged.

the cheapest skyweavers and shadowseers, just encourage me to play harly soup + drukharis.
Starweavers and troupes are expensive to play a battalion even with the changes.

This is basically my plan anyway. Not least because the DE characters are all boring me to death.

Edit: I now think they are 100% real, cant say why

Certainly wouldn't be the first time that Chapter Approved has given the Eldar armies new points values that are downright bizarre.

Archons -15pts it seems

Cool. It'll be almost like getting their Blasters for free . . . right up until GW removes the option of Blasters altogether.

Archons in 55 points yea baby. Haemonculus keep their current cost?

Our actual changes:

Archon - 15
Incubi - 2
Mandrakes - 1
Hellions - 2
Reavers - 3
Cronos - 5
Ravager + 15
Razorwing Jetfighter + 10
Drazhar - 20

Other units didn't get touched. No, Venoms didn't drop in points and Talos didn't get nerfed.

So basically, they deem dissies OP?

Ouch on the Ravager increase.
