Do I need chapter approved for my Death Guard?

[Brother Callidan]

Like the title says do I need to get chapter approved for my Death Guard?

 

Thanks in advance

If you want to be playing with the most up-to-date points costs for your stuff, then you need to use the values in Chapter Approved yes.

 

But as long as you know how to type "Chapter Approved Death Guard points" into google image search, then no, you don't need to buy it.

One of my friends already bought chapter approved, and let me look at his book. I then wrote down the points value changes on all things Nurgle. A job well done.

[Lord Marshal]

Look up the points changes on Google, get some post-it notes and scribble the values on, then stick 'em on your codex pages. Bam. 

 

Anybody asks? Say you didn't want to lug about a third book and you did it for convenience sake and that it's at home.

Yea you for sure don't need to buy it, but it's highly recommended to know the points modifications for your army and maybe the new missions

[Brother Callidan]

Thanks guys. I didn't want to spend another $40 plus dollars on another book when my army is so new and still in the painting process.

Especially when there will be another Chapter Approved/Generals handbook every 12 months for GW games. I am very careful after $500 on thousand sons/traitors hate/traitor legions in 7th edition, just to have those books turn obsolete 6 months later. However they make good artbooks, collectors items, and fluff reading.

Btw, if you bought the ebook Death Guard Codex and either redownload again recently or use iBook update - the Codex will update with revised points costs from Chapter Approved and revised wording from faqs.

[Brother Callidan]

Thanks Kilofix. Didn’t even notice that the book was wanting an update.

[SkimaskMohawk]

Maybe the enhanced version or the ibook version, but the normal version doesn't get updated

[Brother Callidan]

I have the enhanced iBook and it did. You just need to keep an eye on the update tab which I did not. If it wasn’t for Kilofix I don’t know if I even would have seen it

I’m late to the party but just wanted to confirm a few days ago I updated my enhanced version and the points were updated. It’s a really nice feature to have especially so early in 8th.

I tried to download a regular copy of the codex from warhammer online and nothing I own can read them.

Ended up with 800+ pages of rubbish and had to get a refund and then a hard copy. Pub3 files just dont like my machines

 

I guess the Apple files are better

Kobo reader can read them on Android.

Don't worry about running updates all the time. If you have the electronic version of the Codex you could still look at a friend's copy of Chapter Approved and put the new points on sticky notes on the screen.
