Chapter Command Upgrade Costs - Has this been clarified?

[Mattias]

Hi Brothers,

 

It could be that my search fu is weak, but I was wondering if there had been any clarification as the to the correct cost of the Chapter Command Upgrades, as different costs are stated on p98 of the new Codex vs p202 of the new Codex, examples below:

 

Chief Apothecary (p98 = +15 points, p202 = +25pts)

Master of Sanctity (p98 = +25 points, p202 = +35pts)

 

Is there anything official that confirms the correct costs we should use?

I haven't seen a clarification but it's a pretty obvious thing that needs a FAQ. Hopefully it'll be covered when the codex FAQ comes out, which is usually a couple of weeks after release. Shame this wasn't covered on day one.

Always err on the side of most expensive for future proofing your army lists until FAQ/Errata can be issued.

I hadn't noticed the two tables were different points. That is a bit of an oops!

I would say follow the data sheet rather then the shortcut list since it matches the numbers given the warhammer community article from just before the dex came out.

WHC is not a rules source. Or rather, a better principle is too assume that anything WHC says is wrong.

 

In reality they'll have taken the points cost from the page in the codex they saw and not noticed the inconsistency. Not their fault, but it doesn't tell us anything that they did this.

From the playtester in my Discord when I brought that up:

He said err on the side of caution and go with the higher points in the back
