Mallios Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I started wh40k a year ago, and never purchased Chapter Approved 2017. Does anyone know GW's intention behind these books? Specifically, can i simply purchase CA2018 and get all of the CA2017 cost updates as well, or would i still be required to buy 2017 as well to get them? I recognize that no one here may actually know, seeing as they aren't out yet. I just didn't find anything using Google. Thanks.

PeteySödes Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They would only list changes, so I assume both are still needed for the current points adjustments. I hope im wrong though, I'd love to not carry both.

.Torch. Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They would only list changes, so I assume both are still needed for the current points adjustments. I hope im wrong though, I'd love to not carry both. I hope this isn't the case. With the current state of play, players are already carrying around multiple codexes for different detachments. Hopefully they will be sensible with it, and list all the points values that are different regardless of when they came into play. But you never know!

PeteySödes Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Im seeing in the news and rumours thread someone has confirmed that the 2017 changes are being reprinted into this one. So hooray!

Are Verlo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 As far as i know all the cost updates are free. CA 2017 had rules and point cost updates, but the codexes (codexi) got updated as well with the new points for free. If it GW does the same this year it will be meaninless to buy the CA18 if all you want is the updated points. But if you want the extra missions and other rules you will have to buy CA18 ( I have do idea what carries over from last year.) Edit: This goes for digital users.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 The proper plural of "codex" is "codices." In other news, the only thing confirmed as a reprint that I've seen mentioned is the Traitor Knight rules.

Lord_Caerolion Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Guys, we can just take a look at the Generals Handbooks released for AoS, which are their equivalent of the Chapter Approved. These do indeed reprint the changed costs, they just put an asterisk next to the changes that were made that year.

Panzer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Afaik CA2018 will include all the points changes we had in CA2017 as well if they still apply. The rest, all the additional stuff like custom Landraider rules and how to build objectives and missions and so on won't be included in CA2018 so if you are interested in those you better get your hands on CA2017 somehow. The proper plural of "codex" is "codices." That's right, but considering how often GW themselves uses "Codexes" I have to assume they re-invented it. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351931-chapter-approved-repeat-information/#findComment-5205871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes GW confirmed yesterday that the points changes from last year will be included/amended in CA2018 so you wont need both books.However as sfPanzer states the Land Raider custom rules and missions etc from CA2017 won't be included.So if you don't have CA2017 it's OK you don't need it but might want a copy anyway.

Captain Idaho Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 That's why the God Emperor invented Battlescribe, people! So you don't have to go through it all!

toaae Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Guys, we can just take a look at the Generals Handbooks released for AoS, which are their equivalent of the Chapter Approved. These do indeed reprint the changed costs, they just put an asterisk next to the changes that were made that year. Should be noted that AoS didn't have any points until the General's Handbook, so they had to print all points in it. CA2017 didn't have every unit and wargear listed, just those that changed. Still, I assume that GW has the foresight to see that not including the 2017 changes in the 2018 book would be a real crap storm.

Tannarak Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I thought I saw on the Warhammer Community FB post saying that 2017 was to be updated in 2018. I don't know if any other extra content would be reprinted though.

Irbis Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That's why the God Emperor invented Battlescribe, people! So you don't have to go through it all! You mean that thing that is often wrong, prone to errors, has very clunky interface (especially if you play army with lots of options like DW), and has issues with timely updates, particularly if you're interested in less popular books? Battlescribe should be only used for books you know really well, or doubly-checked with CA, or cheating your opponent (if unknowingly) on something is virtually guaranteed...

D3L Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 2017 is now oop, so yes, it's a replacement, not an addition, if you don't have 2017 now (missions and rules), you'll never get it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351931-chapter-approved-repeat-information/#findComment-5206809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 2017 is now oop, so yes, it's a replacement, not an addition, if you don't have 2017 now (missions and rules), you'll never get it Except I downloaded it 2 days ago for some of the Land Raider rules. So still available. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351931-chapter-approved-repeat-information/#findComment-5206826 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlescribe should be only used for books you know really well, or doubly-checked with CA, or cheating your opponent (if unknowingly) on something is virtually guaranteed... Not sure what you're talking about, my Codex's stuff is rarely wrong and the updates come within reason. The Interface is only clunky when the one who wrote that Codex datafile doesn't know what he does (which is too often the case admitedly) but that's hardly the fault of Battlescribe itself. Tho I admit the mobile version is horrible. Anyway ... is there a better alternative out there? No? So indeed praise the God Emperor for Battlescribe until we get something better. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351931-chapter-approved-repeat-information/#findComment-5206875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yeah Battlescribe is amazing. I don't need to argue the case; people who use it enjoy it and that's all the pudding of proof we'll ever need.

Hardly, Battlescribe may have some bugs when a new codex drops but that's natural, we strive very hard to make sure everything is not only accurate but RAW(yes I'm part of the team that maintains it). I'm sorry that we can't have the files updated the instant the codex drops, we don't get advance copies and are all volunteers spending our own free time doing it.
