#New40k – Points, apps, and updates incoming

Across all of these changes, the studio rules team has been aiming to ensure that the new Warhammer 40,000 is as balanced as possible right out of the gate.

Of course, within days of the new edition dropping on the 20th, millions of games of Warhammer 40,000 will be played across the world, and that is bound to throw up SOMETHING that no amount of playtesting could catch. 

The regular balance updates for the new edition will work as they do today – quarterly. So you can expect small course corrections to under- or over-performing armies every three months.

However, because of the volatile nature of balance in a new edition – new rules, detachments, units and synergies – for the first three months of the new edition, our studio rules team will actually be looking to step in monthly, if needed – with the first update due for the end of July.

So there you go – a new app, new points and a commitment to balance going forward. Good times.

We hope you enjoy the game when it lands in just a few days’ time. Remember – update your app this Wednesday, to start planning your army for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000.
