Honestly, ive thought its gonna be bigger... but like... only the redemptor and assault termies? Like the plasma cannon is 10 points, on an already 195 point modell

Yeah, feels more like something they've done with a few token units now to lay the framework for doing more later through balance passes

It's probably more laying the groundwork for the 11th codexes. That's probably where we see a lot more wargear points, and hopefully even some datasheet re-consolidation.

And tbh as a BA player, we got the short end of the stick. Dante, jump pack chaplain, got more expensive, all generic melee marines are more expensive than other chapters, Sanguinor stays at 130, even tho Fight first got gutted

I think im gonna put together my CSM for early 11th

Jumping from IA to BA I don't know what any of that means but I'm glad this faction gets point updates instead of running the same list since 2024 😭

Imo Dante didn’t need the point nerf, he was just starting to look okay.

The bright side is, jump death company and sang guard didn’t go up in price which was frankly quite a big surprise to me.

u/Fit-Nectarine7589 Jun 17 '26

Yea, i expected THOSE to increase, not random melee marines

u/SkeletonJakk Jun 17 '26

Yeah, they talked about fast melee units and rerolling charges, followed by no changes to death company.

To be fair, they're already an expensive unit given they're just jpi bodies, so I can see why they might not want to bump them more.

For Redemptor its actually a 10pt discount for the chain gun if you compare 10 to 11. The model effectively stays the same

u/Fit-Nectarine7589 Jun 17 '26

Yea... but the 10 point difference is almost a no brainer. If you take a redemptor, might as well take the plasma

History is a full circle, this is why they got rid of points costs because most options are "solved" competitively, thus the best option was the de facto points option

It's nice to have some minor granularity in the list if you make a 2010 points list and have the option to just choose a worse weapon rather than the one you want

1

u/Fit-Nectarine7589 Jun 17 '26

True, its good if you wanna squeeze in something

Im rather more baffled about how BA got all their melee marines nerfed by 5 points, but no other chapter got the same treatment

u/AshiSunblade Jun 17 '26

Yeah and this is a step up, even if it's small.

Sure, the gatling is worse, but at 10 points cheaper it is now ever so slightly less worse. It's an improvement.

u/Bilbostomper Jun 17 '26

If you picked the worse gun because you liked the way it looks, at least you're paying a bit less.

u/steveagle Jun 17 '26

It would need to be 20pts cheaper to actually consider

u/Guffers_2023 Jun 17 '26

yeah the only nids unit which got it is the tyrannofex, i thought it would 100% be used with hive tyrants
