chapter-approved-2023 rules grand tournament ark of omensHere are the new 2023 Chapter Approved Warhammer 40k rules updates, points changes, missions, and secondary objectives from Arks of Omen.

Starting in January of 2022, we saw some new changes to Warhammer 40k missions and secondary objectives at the US Open Finals. Since then, with the introduction of seasons for Warhammer 40k, we’ve seen a slew of new Chapter Approved GT books twice a year, bringing changes to missions, scoring, secondaries,

Let’s start by looking at where you can grab your own Arks of Omen Chapter Approved 2023 book and then get into the new rules and changes.

Fans of larger games also have something to look forward to in the Chapter Approved: Arks of Omen: Grand Tournament Mission Pack. This is the complete guide to matched play for the first half of 2023, with revised tournament missions, new and updated secondary objectives for every faction, and a brand-new Detachment that gives players much more flexibility when building their armies.

New rules to spice up competitive play is always great too! Hopefully, this can help keep the game open to creativity with tons of viable options.

New Game Set Up & How to Choose Missions

Here’s the most up-to-date review of the new Chapter Approved 2022 Rules. Click on the gallery above to see the new Battle-forged,  Seconadries Objectives, and Missions!

Chapter Approved 2023 13We’ll cover the Arks of Omen Detachment below, but nothing too crazy here.

Chapter Approved 2023 10

Chapter Approved 2023 9So you still don’t get the +1 for finishing first, and only half your units can be in reserve.

Chapter Approved 2023 8They are still on the maximum of 100 points (really 90), but if your army is painted, you can score all 100.

Building Arks of Omen Armies

Chapter Approved 2023 12Now, this is a giant change! Instead of doing all the other stuff, you just take basically whatever you want as long as you have an HQ and three of anything else (other than flyers). This is really interesting, and we’ll have to see how it changes games.

It just looks like they are trying to make building armies easier and more open which we are here for!

Chapter Approved 2023 11They are also changing how allies and soup armies work. So, if you want to take a bunch of different units, you must follow this now.

New Objectives

Chapter Approved 2023 2This is a classic objective at this point, so raise those banners high or gather all the data you can!

Chapter Approved 2023 3If you want to run your army forward, this will be the page for you!

Chapter Approved 2023 4If you have all the psykers in your army, this will be for you. Obviously, if you don’t have any psykers and are facing something like T Sons, this will be a great choice for Abhor the Witch.

Chapter Approved 2023 5Gaining Command Points just by killing enemy units is awesome!

Arks of Omen Warhammer 40k Secondary Objectives

Chapter Approved 2023 7As you can see above, when you pick a certain Primary Objective, you can also pick the secondaries from your book. However, each army comes with three generic ones. We’ll check out the army-specific ones below.
